Oblation Papers and Press

Oblation Papers & Press began in 1989, when founders Jennifer and Ron Rich started selling handmade paper at the Eugene Saturday Market in Oregon. By 1994, they had added letterpress printing, and in 1998, they opened our store in Portland’s Pearl District. Since then, we’ve become a destination for our handmade papers, along with a curated selection of stationery, fountain pens, inks, notebooks, refurbished typewriters, and thoughtful gifts.

At the heart of what we do is letterpress printing. We design and print custom wedding invitations and other bespoke projects on our antique Chandler & Price clamshell presses and Heidelberg windmill presses, using raised type and images inked and pressed into paper for a rich, tactile impression.
