Yes, we print on pencils! Your song lyrics, birthday greeting, campaign slogan or self help suggestion can all be appreciated on a pencil. We will cast your phrase in hot metal type on our Linotype machine, and we use that type slug to imprint foil onto your pencils. Our typeface list is below but we recommend Spartan all caps if you're not picky, as it plays best with the pencils and is easy to read. We use hand-painted pencils made in the USA, colors can vary slightly from lot to lot, as can impression or print quality due to the uneven surface of the pencil paint layer.
Use the form below to order pencils. If you would like a specific pencil color, foil color, typeface or other variation that isn’t listed below, please email info@dwriletterpress.net to inquire about availability and timing. A surcharge may be applied if we have to order special pencil stock for your project.
