Exploiting traditional techniques in modern ways, Baddeley Brothers bring unparalleled precision, colour and lustre to the printed surface - introducing a third dimension. Combined with our renowned flair for envelope-making and printers' cards, our range of specialist skills and experience is not easily matched.
Techniques such as embossing, die-stamping, copperplate, plate-sinking, thermography or letterpress can, when combined with modern materials and technology, provide just that spark of individuality. And now, increasingly, a number of innovative designers and imaginative companies are rediscovering the potential of these long-established techniques. At Baddeley Brothers we've appreciated - and realised - that potential ever since 1859.

An exclusive bottle of celebratory Christmas Absinthe, designed by an award-winning specialist drinks branding company to showcase its distinctive creativity, is back on the production line in response to customer demand. As the short production run starts, design agency Stranger & Stranger has opened a waiting list for the limited edition bottle, which it describes as beautiful, hideous, angelic and devilish. For die-stamping specialists Baddeley Brothers, who were chosen to print the intricate, elaborate labels, the devil has been in the detail.
"This was a highly complex design which required absolute precision. It would be a challenge for any printer but we have worked with Baddeley Brothers before, so we knew that they could achieve exactly what we needed," said Stranger & Stranger's Founder Kevin Shaw.

Printed for the third year running by Baddeley Brothers, this year’s invite was enhanced with letterpress, blind embossing and die stamping, printed on Materica 360g/m in Gesso from Fedrigoni. The unique white envelopes, hand-cut and folded individually, were delicately embossed with the Handmade logo and design elements from the Handmade brand to ensure maximum impact.
Destined for the desks of 2000 of the UK’s biggest and more innovative designers and architects, both invitations featured black die-stamping and letterpress, as well as duplexing, using Croppers Natural 270gsm stock. The Cropper logo itself, was blind embossed and the Wallpaper* asterisk was die cut to show the contrasting duplexed stock.

Loved and cherished for their rare ingredients and imaginative blends, the perfumes and candles crafted by Irish artisan perfumer Cloon Keen Atelier deliver a complete sensory experience – from their hand-placed cotton wicks to each exclusive die stamped label.
The labels are printed on an uncoated Strathmore bright white label, die-stamped and pearl white foil block de-bossed to add depth and shine to the CKA logo and border.

For fans of progressive menswear designer Sebastiaan Pieter, his clothes are a statement. So too, is his stationery. While there’s nothing conventional about Sebastiaan’s tailoring, he is known in London and New York for re-fashioning traditional materials and methods – which is something which he was keen to encapsulate in his packaging and letterhead.
Director Charles Pertwee added: “Using a tactile stock and incorporating a light stroke of embossing and foil blocking I believe we’ve achieved a distinctive, classic look that PIETER customers will admire.”
