“As a design firm I knew it was important for us to have business cards that represented a high level of quality, design, and production techniques without being trendy. I stuck with a classic black and white setup, but wanted to add a twist that would make these cards stand out from the pack. The cards were printed on a privately-owned letterpress by a friend of a friend. We used 92# Reich Savoy for the top and bottom layers, and I had him sandwich in a 100# cover sheet of French Paper’s pop-tone in black licorice.”

how do you layer the colors of paper together?… do they stay together over time?

@Lisa looks like its a heavy cardstock with the back as black. When cards are stacked it will look like that naturally.

I am also curious as to how this technique of combining three papers together is done.

It seems Matter Strategic Design did this too with their stationary.
Lovely Stationary featured them a while ago here:

I’m not quite sure exactly how he triplexed the sheets, but I have a call in to ask for details. Will post when I know more.

at wonderpress we actually make thickcards this way with different papers, including french pop tones. we are able to make business cards in any size, and invitions, etc. as well. i personally made some for a friends wedding invitation with robins egg blue in the middle.
