The Iron Curtain Press is a small owner-operated print shop located in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle. What started as a love for stationary and design has flourished into a full time press shop specializing in custom projects and our own line of cards and printed ephemera.

Everything in our shop is hand made. Most designs are type-set by hand, and everything is printed by hand using hand-mixed inks. We print on 100% cotton paper (no trees!) and use non-toxic cleaning supplies. We love the earth, and beautifully printed goods.

Our illustrious staff: Rosanna is the brains, hired help, accountant, janitor, and designer behind The Iron Curtain Press. She loves what she does and wouldn't have it any other way.
Joel takes the beautiful photos of the products, keeps an eye on the website, and is a serious source of design/ idea inspiration and development.
