Print gets held.

A card across a table. An invitation kept until the day. Before a word is read, paper, color and cut make an impression.

A card across the table.

The first thing a new contact holds from you. Heavy stock, a clean edge, color that matches the sign on your door.

An invitation at the kitchen table.

Opened by hand, read twice, kept until the day. A moment someone may remember for years.

A postcard in the mailbox.

It arrives in a hand, not a folder, and gets a few seconds of undivided attention. The paper decides what happens next.

A sign at the door.

The first thing people see of a business, and the thing they walk past every day. It has to look right from across the room and up close.

When it has to be right.

Paper, color, cut and finish: the details make the difference. We check them before your work leaves the shop.

01No small jobs.The smallest job on the schedule is somebody's whole project. Fifty pieces get the same paper, the same measured color and the same eyes on them as five thousand.
02Our word is our bond.If we say Thursday, we mean Thursday. If something goes wrong, you hear it from us early, and you hear all of it. If the mistake is ours, we make it right.
03Right, or it runs again.If a sheet is off, it does not ship. It runs again, and you never see the one that was wrong.

Talk to the people who will make it. (919) 744-1801 hello@howlingpress.com

Seven steps. No surprises.

From the first conversation to the next project, here is how we work together.

01
Understand

Tell us about the job: who it is for, when you need it and what should happen when they hold it. If you only know the outcome you want, that is plenty to start with.
02
Advise

You get the options and one recommendation, with the reason behind it. How it looks, how it wears, how it will be used and your budget all count, and we will say which matter most for yours.
03
Prepare

We look your file over for production: size, bleed, color, folds and finishing. For most jobs, you approve a proof while ordering or on your order page before we print. Photo prints use the crops you chose, with no separate proof.
04
Produce

Your job runs on a press measured and profiled for the paper you chose, with care for consistent color from the first sheet to the last. Your order page shows where it is along the way.
05
Inspect

Checking is part of making it, not an afterthought. Before the box closes, someone picks up a finished piece the way the person it is meant for will, and goes through the run against your order: color, cut, finish and count.
06
Deliver

How it arrives is part of the piece, so it is packed to come out of the box the way it came off the press. Pick it up here, or we ship it and the tracking is on your order.
07
Remember

Next time, you do not start over: an account keeps your past orders together, and we remember your paper, your colors and how you like things done. Over the years, we get to be less like a vendor and more like part of your team.

Paper you can feel.

For every piece there is a paper, a finish and a size we would choose ourselves, and every other one if you want to choose them yourself.
