History
Iron Leaf Press began in 2011 when owner, Danielle Chargo, started letterpress printing greeting cards in a small second bedroom. Fast forward a few years and a few antique printing presses later, Iron Leaf Press is in a storefront in historic Mount Vernon. Our shop carries our line of greeting cards and paper goods, as well as other stationery items including pens, pencils, journals, and gift items.
Specialties
Iron Leaf Press creates artisan letterpress-printed goods, handmade in our studio, located in Mount Vernon, Iowa. Greeting cards, posters, and paper goods are made the old fashioned way, with an antique printing press, circa 1919. These letterpress paper goods are available in the studio, online, and in select retail shops. Beyond our line of paper goods, we also design and letterpress print custom commercial and social stationery, including wedding invitations, business cards, and personal stationery.
