Capabilities
Studio On Fire’s capabilities have grown quite a lot over the last 20+ years. Aside from what is listed below, we also specialize in techniques like embossing, debossing, and fold/glue-finishing. Reach out to us using the Request An Estimate page to learn more about our capabilities.
letterpress
We use our several Heidelberg letterpress cylinders for letterpress printing. Letterpress gives your printed ephemera a unique look and feel. Technically speaking, it is impression-based printing using a raised image, covered in a thin layer of viscous ink, pressed against a sheet of paper. Our portfolio goes into detail on the techniques used for each project, take a look to learn more about letterpress!
foil stamping
Foil stamping offers many unique qualities to the design it’s replicating. Metallic foils are a popular route, but foil also allows unique printing capabilities such as white text on darker paper. Our 9 foil stamping, embossing, and diecutting presses can produce a variety of projects. Along with traditional foil stamping, those machines can also create heated blind impressions, debossing & embossing.
diecutting
We love making packaging, from simple, to complex or entirely unique structures - we can diecut your custom box shape. We would then calibrate our fold and glue machines to make the right folds and adhere the correct parts of the packaging together for optimal shipment and later construction. We house several fold and glue machines that can handle any size job.
custom structural design
Our in-house structural experts can help your brand create the perfect structure to hold your product. We work together, prototyping until we have the best functional, economic, and aesthetic solution.
custom graphic design
Our experienced design team can assist with your graphic design needs, no matter what stage of your process you’re at. They will keep you informed throughout the design process on how design options/decisions will affect printing costs before you go to production to keep you within budget. If you’d like to see some of our design work, projects in our portfolio make it clear whether we designed them or not.
child-resistant packaging
If you’re looking for a child-resistant packaging solution, our patent-pending Craft Lock Box would be your best fit. Our Structural Design team can help customize the size if need be, otherwise we have a variety of pre-set sizes (choosing a pre-set size would help keep down your tooling costs).
