History

Established in 2003.

In 1901 my great-​grandfather started a little printing business in the northwest corner of Connecticut called The Sterling Press. Over the years his print shop evolved and his primary business became printing names on cotton tape to sew into clothing for identification at camp, boarding school, or the like (around the mid-​1920s he renamed it The Sterling Name Tape Company). As technology advanced, so too did his printing methods and by the late 1950s or early 1960s all of his foot-​powered presses were put in storage in the basement of the shop.

Several decades later around 2003, with my father and brother now at the helm of Sterling, I liberated a couple of the old presses as well as several cases of metal type and Lucky Duck Press was born!
