Quarterly Limited-Editions

Counting to Fifty

You never know what will come from a casually made decision. I called my friend and occasional co-conspirator, Aaron Draplin, after he had sent me a handmade pack of kraft-colored “Field Notes,” and suggested that perhaps we should produce a short run of them and offer them for sale online. Within a couple weeks, we were up and running. – Aug. 3rd, 2021

Staple Day 23 - We love exploring relatively obscure chapters in the history of American publishing, design, and printing, and then translating them into modern products that can tell their own story.
