Igloo Letterpress

Igloo Letterpress is a letterpress and bookbinding studio that brings traditional printing and binding techniques into a contemporary context. Founded by John and Allison, the studio grew from a home printshop created while making their wedding invitations. Its name recalls a humorous comment from John’s grandmother, and its story reflects the warmth and creativity behind the craft. Now based in Columbus, Ohio, Igloo also operates from a shared studio space in the Clintonville neighborhood.

The brand sells distinctive letterpress cards for occasions including birthdays, holidays, congratulations, sympathy, and everyday encouragement, as well as art prints, posters, journals, stationery, kits, and gifts. Its designs range from botanical and seasonal themes to witty, supportive messages and locally inspired artwork. Igloo also offers custom letterpress printing and bookbinding services to customers in Ohio and beyond. Projects include invitations, business cards, art prints, books, portfolios, and presentation boxes. The studio works with clients to develop ideas into finished pieces, drawing on its experience with presses, paper, inks, design, and traditional techniques.
