It’s time for another letterpress swap!!

I’m definitely in-can’t wait to get started!

i’d like to participate too, thanks!

So, how about a finished size of 5×7?

And the number of prints will be the number of participants + 15, right?

When is the last day someone can join in? We should post this somewhere REALLY BIG so no one gets left out.

If everyone sends their prints to you in a medium flat rate box, could the exchange prints then be sent out in that same box? Would save you the trouble of getting new boxes for each shipment. We should also include, in the box to you, a return shipping label + payment for return shipping.

Great ideas, Jessica. Reads like you’ve done this before 🙂

I received information today that USPS rates are going up Jan.17

We may want to move the due date up to make this postal cost increase deadline.

I should be able to reuse the boxes.

There will be a colophon for this swap. Please email me your name, email address, press name to camillerobin@frontiernet.net and any other information you want included.

I will set up a mailing list to update the progress and final information as to quantity, which will be 15+ amount of members. 

5×7 is a good size. Depending on the amount of people printing, it may fit into a small flat rate box.

Please sign or print your name on your submission, so everyone will know who printed which item.

Why don’t you invite them to join Ladies of Letterpress 🙂

Sign me up!

I would love to participate! 🙂

You can submit a card you currently have.

I don’t have a final count yet but we have about 50 signed up so far!

I am making a presentation folder to hold the submissions and colophon. This will fit into a padded priority mail flat rate envelope. Shipping cost to USA addresses would be $5.70. NOTE postal rates are going up in Jan. For those outside the USA I will get postage rates for you.

Your submission size should be no larger than 6.5 x 9 inches to fit into the folder. It can be anything you want to print; broadside, quote, card, etc.

Please write or print your name and any other information you would like on the back of your piece.

Please send the information you would like printed on the colophon to me

camillerobin@frontiernet.net

Hi! I’d like to participate again as well.

Here is the information I have so far for the colophon. Please proofread and make any needed changes. My direct email is camillerobin@frontiernet.net

I would like to set up a mailing list so if you haven’t sent me your direct email, please do so soon.

I know many of you are itching to get printing. Although final count is not in you would be safe to print 100. 

I will be making a presentation folder for the submissions and colophon. Your final sized print can’t be larger that 6.5 x 9 to fit into this folder. It can be anything you want to print; broadside, quote, card, etc. Please write or print your name and any other information you would like on the back of your piece.

This will fit into a priority padded flat rate envelope. Shipping cost to USA is $5.70 please include this amount to pay for return postage to you. We Have a few International members that are contributing and I will get prices for your county. I will need everyone’s shipping address. I will use my USPS account to print out shipping labels for each package, this will save you 40 cents, you will be able to track your package and will include $50 of insurance (although it really is priceless).

Due date…postage is going up Jan. 17, 2016. How much lead time does everyone need to send your printed piece to me? I realize several holidays are coming up and many people travel or have commitments already made. The sooner you send them to me, the sooner you receive your bundle of joy 🙂 If possible I would like to have everything no later than Jan 8, 2016, although we could shoot for the end of December. That would give you 7+ weeks lead time vs 9 weeks.

Please send your printed piece to me
