Biplane Press did a fantastic job with my wedding invitation set. I wanted to have my grandmother's batik pattern incorporated into the design and Pia was able to redraw the pattern and create a letterpress beauty incorporating two colors: purple and green. She also provided custom purple envelopes for my set. Pia definitely has a good sense of style and I didn't have to make much revision to the proofs. The final product was better than my expectation and was completed in a timely manner. read more

We ordered bookmarks to be the escort cards for my son's wedding. The bride had an idea of the look she wanted, but no clear, specific example. Pia was able to take our ideas (across 4 cities, and 2 continents) and create a design that was perfect. Working with an artist on another continent can have its challenges, but Biplane was patient with us as we changed the design about 20 times. The finished product is magnificent: exactly what we wanted, and the quality is professional and beautiful. I love the creamy paper, and the perfectly executed letterpress work. Many thanks to Pia at Biplane for her wonderful work, and her help and guidance. I highly recommend Biplane for quality of design, quality of execution, fair pricing, and outstanding service. read more

We've used Biplane Press for the past three years to customize our holiday cards. Pia is tremendous to work with-she listens to my ideas and together we come up with the final product. Biplane Press takes great pride in their work-every detail is thought out and executed to perfection. Our friends and families compliment our cards and we look forward to pushing the envelope a bit more each year. Working with Pia and her team is effortless and I love the fact that I am supporting a small business. read more

Meet the Business Owner: Pia T.
Pia Townsend founded Biplane Press in 2007 after acquiring a 100 year old, half tonne, cast iron printing press, gifted to her from an elderly neighbour, Ronald. Her vision was to help pioneer the rebirth of this centuries old tradition by combining unique design and production skills in modern letterpress work, but, with an added twist, the much sought after deep impression. Ron's vintage aesthetic and Pia's more modern approach to design and print led to the eclectic design ethos of Biplane Press which now designs and delivers unique letterpress stationery for clients within the UK and around the globe. Wedding announcements, birth announcements, elite corporate events...Biplane press creates documents which become heirlooms and keepsakes.

Biplane Press is absolutely wonderful! I worked directly with Pia to design my son's first birthday invitations and she created the most gorgeous letterpress cards for us. They are perfect and I smiled from ear to ear when I opened the box! Everyone has asked me where they were made because they are unique, whimsical and so thoughtfully designed. I have worked with quite a few letterpress and fine paper companies in the past and no one has delivered on all of my expectations like Biplane. They have really made quite an impression and I cannot wait to work with them again! + Wonderful and impeccable customer service + Very quick response and turnaround time + Thoughtfully and carefully executed + Double stars for creativity and a stress free process! read more

We invited BiPlane Press to create our wedding invitations for our very special day, and apart from saying 'I do' to each other, it was the BEST decision we'd made for our day. I gave BiPlane the theme of our wedding and they went to work, designing the most beautifully unique wedding invitations I had ever seen. We had guests attending from the UK, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand, and everyone commented on how lovely the invitations were, and on their superior quality. It made us look posh ! First impressions sealed, this paved the way for our most amazing day. Thanks, BiPlane Press !! read more

I have been working with Pia of Biplane Press for 4 years now on several custom birthday invitations for my son and birth announcements and thank you cards for both of my daughters. Each time, she helps to come up with a creative idea, works patiently with me until we get it just right, and the end product is absolutely stunning. She is such a pleasure to work with, is reliable and timely, and most importantly, the paper product looks fantastic. I get so many compliments from friends and family. I wholeheartedly recommend working with her, she does not disappoint! read more

Biplane Press is the best! Easy to work with, quick correspondence (even though we're all the way in Texas!) and turn around times. Pia created the business cards for our company, and I think we're on our 4th or 5th restock. The cards are stunning; each time we hand one out people are very surprised at what they see, as most business and calling cards are printed on thin paper. They make such a great impression, and truly do in turn help sell our own product. We very highly recommend Biplane Press! Use them for all your show stopping, letterpress needs! read more

Pia created beautiful foiled tags for us to use on our products. I'm absolutely thrilled with the quality and the friendly service that Pia gave us, very friendly, helpful and very professional. I would highly recommend to anyone to use BiPlane Press if they are looking for something special and high end. It may cost more than 'normal' printing but that's because it's handmade and hand pressed, this is real craftsmanship and worth every penny and more.

I cannot praise Biplane Press highly enough. I wanted a birth announcement at short notice and the speed and efficiency they provided was brilliant. (Working in marketing I'm used to seeing dozens of proofs before I get the final version, but Pia's work was perfect first time!). I loved the unusual design and the quality of the card stock and envelopes was high. I have had many compliments on the cards and they were well worth the price. I almost didn't want to send them, they were so lovely! read more

I would highly recommend Biplane Press and would definitely use them again. The quality of the invitation cards is very good and Pia is happy and willing to make completely bespoke cards for any occasion. She was straightforward to deal with and came up with a number of alternative invitation cards to choose from. The designs are unique and standout compared to your usual invitations. The envelopes were also of high quality, lined with tissue paper. Wonderful. read more

Pia made gorgeous foiled swing tags for us to use to tell the story of our products. She was very friendly and professional, turned the job around under a tight deadline and just generally delivered on all fronts. I have no hesitation in recommending Pia and BiPlane Press to anyone, whether that's for personal stationary or for businesses. I'm thrilled with what she made for us and will use her again in the future. Thank you Pia! Elle read more
