Our Story
Our story began when William Alvin Albert Coleman, our founder, started printing attendance cards for his Sunday school class. This humble beginning led to the establishment of Coleman's Printing in 1921. Today, we're led by the fourth generation of Colemans, Richard and JT, who continue to uphold the family tradition of excellence and innovation.

Letterpress Printing
Letterpress printing is an antiquated type of relief printing that has made a comeback in recent years. It involves inking raised type and pressing the sheet against it, which transfers the type or image. We started letterpress printing in 1921 and haven't stopped since. With modern letterpress printing, you can feel the impression in the sheet, giving your product a unique tactile experience.
Foil Stamping/Embossing
Foil stamping starts with a copper die that has been acid-etched with artwork. The die is then mounted in the press and heated. Then, a thin layer of foil is run over the die. Finally, the sheet to be stamped is pressed with the layer of foil between the job and the die. The combination of heat and pressure results in the foil transferring to the sheet.
Embossing is the process of raising up artwork on a sheet. It provides a great sense of feel to the final piece. Embossing is accomplished by pressing the sheet between a die and a counter. The die has a mirror image of the art etched into it, while the counter has a straight image of the art raised up on it.
Die Cutting
Die cutting starts with a die. Most of the dies we use consist of a piece of wood that is lasered with your dieline of choice, with steel cutting or creasing rule inserted in the channels that the laser has made. The die is then put in a die cutting press, and is pressed into the sheet. This process allows us to cut and crease paper in virtually any shape.
