Dandy Lion Press is a woman owned and operated letterpress print shop founded in 2007 and located in San Francisco’s lively Mission District. All of the images Dandy Lion Press uses are original pen and ink drawings, watercolors, colored pencil drawings or linoleum cuts featuring flora and fauna, often whimsical in nature. The majority of our items are made in house and letterpress printed on vintage machines. Each card is hand fed through the press individually and the lino cuts are hand printed. Each is a work of hands on labor as well as craftsmanship. The tee shirts are printed by a small shop in LA and our offset cards by a local family owned printshop.

The sleeves the cards come in are made from material is derived from plant-based PLA (Polylactic Acid) and is certified compostable. The envelopes are created from paper made domestically from certified mills who practice responsible, sustainable forestry with at least 30% PCW (post-consumer waste) in the content of the item. The card stock is FSC® certified (zero deforestation and fair wage and work environment) and contains recycled materials. The ink used contains renewable vegetable oils.
