How Calico Creative Brings Your Project to Life
Calico Creative offers a mix of traditional craftsmanship and modern print technology. Our goal is to deliver high quality printing for businesses, nonprofits, and creators across Sacramento. Every project is unique, so we use several types of printing presses to match the right method to your needs.
Here is a simple overview of the presses we use in our shop: Letterpress, Web Press, Sheet Fed Offset, and Digital Printing.
Letterpress Printing: Premium Craftsmanship That Makes an Impression
Letterpress is one of the most artistic printing methods we offer. Raised plates press ink into the paper, creating a deep and elegant impression. The texture adds character and makes each piece feel special. It brings a handcrafted look that helps your project stand out.
This method is perfect for:
- Wedding Invitations
- Business cards
- Embossing
- Debossing
- Die Cutting
OFFSET PRINTING
The offset printing process transfers ink from a plate to a rubber blanket and then to each sheet, ensuring crisp detail, accurate color, and consistent results across the entire run. It is ideal for projects that require professional quality and a wide range of paper choices, including coated, uncoated, textured, and specialty stocks. Depending on the needs of your project offset printing can be done using a continuous roll or sheets.
Web Press Printing: High Speed Roll Fed Production for Large Scale Projects
A web press is the best choice for high volume printing. The press uses large rolls of paper instead of sheets, which allows fast and efficient production. It keeps costs low while delivering consistent quality.
- Magazines
- Catalogs
- Newsletters
- Large batch marketing pieces are ideal for this method.
High Quality Sheet Fed Printing for Professional Marketing Materials
Our sheet fed offset press printing uses individual sheets as opposed to the rolls a web press uses. This gives us strong control over color, registration, accuracy, and paper choices. This process works well for:
- Brochures
- Rack Cards
- Posters
- Booklets
- Other marketing materials that need a polished look.
Digital Printing: Fast, Flexible, and Perfect for Short Runs
Digital printing is fast and cost effective. It prints using toner, not ink, straight from your digital file, so there is no need for plates or long setup times. This makes it a great option for small orders and tight deadlines. It is also helpful for variable data projects such as personalized mailers, event materials, and custom proofs.
- Short-run brochures and flyers
- Personalized or variable data mailers
- Event materials such as programs, tickets, and badges
- Small-batch business cards or stationery
- Proofs and sample prints for reviewing color and layout
