Bench Pressed

Thoughtful Cards, Printed Close to Home

Bench Pressed is a family-owned letterpress and design shop in Minneapolis, creating cards that are equal parts sweet, clever and delightfully Minnesota. Each card is printed by hand on antique presses, giving even a quick note that little extra something.

What Can I Find in This Collection?

Explore greeting cards for new babies, adoptions, new grandparents, birthdays and exceptionally great parents. These are cards for the joyful, life-changing and “we are all figuring this out” moments that deserve a message more memorable than a group text.

How Do I Choose the Right Card?

Start with the milestone, then choose a card that fits the person and the moment. A new-baby or adoption card is a thoughtful addition to a shower or welcome-home gift, while a grandparent announcement card creates a sweet little reveal they can keep. Bench Pressed cards are blank inside, so the handwritten note is entirely yours.

Add a Little Local Love

A card from a Minneapolis maker is a small but meaningful way to make a gift feel even more personal. Tuck one into a book, pair it with a baby gift or use it to share your best wishes with the family that has just grown by one very tiny, very important person.
