Stationery Printing

Stationery printing helped shrink the world by making it more efficient by helping to spread new ideas across the globe.

Stationers were originally developed by the Egyptians. They developed the form of parchment, which was made from very thin animal skins. Only the wealthy could afford parchment paper at the time. It also had its drawbacks; the parchment was limed but not tanned like leather. As a result, the parchment easily split and did not handle humidity. So the Egyptians turned to papyrus (“Papyrus”). Papyrus held up better than parchment because it did not mold and held up better in humidity. Papyrus would go on to be used throughout Europe in the 12th century. But papyrus was very costly because it had to be imported (James “History”).

Ts’ai Lun is credited for inventing paper. He utilized the inner bark of a mulberry tree and combined this with bamboo fibers (James “History”). He then mixed water with the bark and fibers, pounded them, and left them on a woven cloth for the water to drain. Eventually, the Chinese replaced wood and bamboo with linen fibers. The linen fibers were higher in quality (“Papyrus”).

Johannes Gutenberg is credited with inventing the printing press. His machine eliminated the process of writing by hand as a reproduction of documents could be handled more proficiently. This created a substantial demand for paper (James “History”).

By the early 1800s, the United States had over 180 paper mills. This created hundreds of jobs such as stationery printers. As the USA became more proponent through mining, oil drilling, and lumber processing, there was an increase in wealth. As a result of the increase in wealth, the desire for supplies of a higher quality standard of printing became higher. The stationery consisted of many different items such as monogrammed paper. A monogrammed paper was used for letters, notes, and announcements. People used monogrammed paper to request wedding invitations, birth announcements, and other documents (James “History”).

As technological advances continued through the 1900s in the United States, stationery printing became more proponent. One way stationery printing adapted to the technological advances was color printing. Stationery printing expanded to produce greeting cards, color paper, event announcements, sales documents, and calling cards. By the mid-19th century, stationery printers were sophisticated enough to produce their documents faster and efficiently. Stationery printers began to produce brochures, flyers, and business cards (James “History”).

Today, stationery printers are now considered printing companies. They offer full-service printing, including digital processing (“Papyrus”). Marketing plans are dependent on printed materials produced by stationery printers. Consumers also use stationery printers to produce albums, books, signage, tablets, cards, magazines, and school supplies.

In the modern world, stationery printing comes in various forms.

One form of stationery printing is letter printing. Letter printing is one of the oldest forms of stationery printing. It has been used as early as the 15th century for printing pamphlets, books, pictures, and other printed documents. The process of letter printing consists of using molds of letters and designs along with ink to press them onto thick paper, leaving the paper indented. However, letter printing is not frequently used as it is one of the most costly printing methods (Ashleigh, “7 Types”).

Another form of stationery printing is offset printing. Offset printing, also referred to as flat printing, is similar to digital printing; it creates a flat but detailed end result. The process is done by stamping the image onto the paper using ink on a metal, paper or rubber plate. Flat printing is considered very resourceful because it can be used with several different types of paper (Ashleigh, “7 Types”).

Engraving is a form of stationery printing that, like stationery printing, has been around for centuries. Engraved printing is made when ink is applied to etched indents on copper plates known as “dies”. Paper is then placed over the dies and thousands of pounds of pressure press the paper into the etched design. The etched design transfers the ink and raises the paper, thus engraving it. Engraving is the most expensive form of stationery printing, but it is very precise and recognizable in its printing (Ashleigh, “7 Types”).

Thermography creates a textured end-product that is meant to be like engraving. During the process, wet ink is used to create designs. The powder is then applied to paper. The printer attaches the powder to the ink with resin, then heats the stationery and cools it to allow the powder and resin to set into the paper (Ashleigh, “7 Types”).
