Crane & Co. Stationery Promotions
Now through March 28th, Crane & Co. is offering a free name or monogram die and free return address plate (a $96 value) with any order of 100 printed cards, fold-over notes, folders or sheets and envelopes that are engraved of printed in letterpress. This is Crane’s signature stationery event and a most popular one for those looking for beautiful engraved stationery printed on 100% cotton paper by Crane. So popular is this stationery sale, that we strongly recommend that you schedule an appointment with your local stationery store and see hundreds of sample cards and notes printed in letterpress or engraved on Crane paper.
Engraving is one of the oldest and most elegant processes for reproducing images on paper. Engraving etches an image onto a copper plate. Ink is then applied to the copper plate or die where the ink gathers in the engraved cavity. Cotton paper is then pressed into the cavity of the plate, resulting in a raised right-reading image on the front and a slight bruising on the back where pressure was applied.
Engraving is used for all types of events on many forms of stationery. Every piece of engraved stationery is fed into the engraving press by hand. Because there is no mass production in engraving, each impression — be it a note, invitation or card — is a customized one. The most elegant invitations are engraved. Wedding invitations, in particular, are commonly engraved. The finished product has a warmth all its own that conveys an unspoken message of distinction and timelessness.

I am trying to replace my Crane’s off-white stationary. It has my name on top in upper and lower case caps blue letters. The note paper is 5-15/16 x 8-15/16 and envelopes are 4-5/8 x 6-1/16. Not sure of the quantity but box is about 4 x 6-1/2 x 9-1/2.
Can you tell me the cost.
Thanks,
John

This is a standard #6 sheet and envelope from Crane, probably in Ecru (off white). Cost depends on whether it is engraved, flat-printed or printed in thermographic inks. Strongly recommend that you contact a local stationer in your neighborhood that carries Crane for pricing and options. Also, Crane has some nice promotions this month so you will save money by ordering your personalized stationery now. Don’t make the common mistake by ordering online. Paper textures and ink colors do not show up well with low-resolution internet images.
