Description

Specialties

Constellation & Co. is a letterpress stationery company and gift shop located in the Fisherman’s Terminal building. Our stationery items are letterpress printed in-​house on 100 year old printing presses.

Our retail shop is home to the full line of Constellation & Co. cards, prints, and stationery gifts. We also carry a curated selection of locally-​made and hand-​made stationery and gifts, including: jewelry, framed prints, perfume & cologne, notebooks, mugs, calendars, stickers, keychains, ribbon, accessories, vintage books/​ephemera, and more! Nearly everything in our shop is made in the USA by a small business or artist.

We also offer letterpress poster workshops 2 – 3 times each month. Contact us for more information!

Everything we do is inspired by conviction, craftsmanship, and community. Our inmost desire is to facilitate meaningful connections, to use the time-​honored tradition of letterpress stationery to bring people together. We celebrate tailor-​made over generic, heritage over novelty, and process over expediency.

Our equipment is time-​tested and well-​worn, but we have restored everything with love – from rust and grime back to pristine printing condition. All of our presses are foot or hand powered and completely hand fed. Each sheet of paper goes through the press one at a time, and once through for each color printed. Same goes for type setting. We use traditional wood and lead type and carefully hand set one letter at a time.

History

Established in 2009.

When Sara McNally was in design school, she discovered her calling through the pages of a book detailing printing and the Industrial Revolution. Along with her husband Brad, Sara refurbished a 1921 platen press and opened Constellation & Co., a boutique letterpress print shop.

Had the pleasure of stopping in to Constellation & Co. on a recent trip to Seattle. Super cute store! Love the location near the docks and it was very cool to see the press being operated in the front window. Found some pretty hilarious cards and had to get the Official Cat Lady one for my sister!

All of the products and people at Contellation & Co. are a delight! There is so much care and thought that goes into each piece of art and each interaction with a customer. I am lucky to live right down the road and drop in as often as I can to pick up a beautiful card, fun home décor item, or high-​quality print for my office. Every time I have guests visiting I go out of my way to bring them to the store so that they can find something amazing to take home from Seattle. I highly recommend this shop!

Sara takes immense pride in her business and is tireless in her pursuit of creating amazing work. I could not have been happier with my custom wedding invitations!
The C&C space is also really beautiful, I highly recommend that you check them out during visiting hours.

Actually turned away for printing services. Our neighbors recommended them based on their business cards and tried to use a local Pioneer Square company but they are ’boutique’ and I guess we didn’t fit their model. Was hoping for some custom embossed biz cards but will gladly take my business elsewhere.

I can’t tell you how many awesome responses we got and are still getting on our wedding invites that Constellation & Co designed and printed! They were even better than we could have dreamed of.
Working with Sara was a joy. Constellation really takes the time to understand their clients personalities and needs so that the end product reflects them accurately. She made sure that she knew exactly the kind of feeling that we were going for and the specific colors that we wanted.
There’s no need to rush around looking for paper or envelopes because Constellation has a great selection to choose from that works best with their machines.
We have already recommended this company to some of our friends and family and will continue to do so.

I worked with constellation when I was graduating from college (2012). I needed business cards, thank you notes, and a cover for my portfolio designed and pressed. They took my pre-​existing graphic mark worked it into a gorgeous two-​sided, super sexy business card design.
I love the shape of my business cards, they are slightly smaller than normal, the design is clean and professional. I get a lot of compliments.
But this is what you really need to know. During finals, when everything was going wrong, I was under an enormous amount of stress. The one bright spot was Constellation. They delivered on time, helped find solutions to problems, and were willing to work with my crazy schedule.
I cannot thank them enough!

Constellation & Co. were absolutely amazing to work with when they designed and printed our custom wedding invitations. We were thrilled with the final products (invitations and thank you cards) and got so many compliments from family and friends. The McNallys are friendly, professional and very responsive. They were a joy to work with and we would highly recommend them to anyone.
