I have had good luck with using tubes (sold for paint etc)….I however love Judith’s idea, they would stack well! Have a photo?

Hi! I did when they first came out on my (then) Golding Pearl. Although they work ok I wouldn’t use them for long runs since the plastic can (and did) crack. Also I’ve seen several Etsy shops sell the items they make from the “L Letterpress” and calling it actual letterpress printed items. I don’t know if they have an Angel policy to be honest.…[Read more]

I wouldn’t print a logo on a wedding invite, but I would on a greeting card, although you might get by with a very small “bug” on the back of a wedding suite.
