Introducing The Coasters.

Meet Edna, Mr. Snogglebaum, Adelaide and the cantankerous old pressman himself.

These self-promotional designs were done in collaboration with Parliament of Owls to launch our new letterpress imprintable die-cut coaster line - The Coasters.

~ EDNA ~

"Sit your glass down here sonny..."

Edna likes her men young (sixty something) and her gin slow. A bit brash with a splash of class, she's always the center of attention.

~ MR. SNOGGLEBAUM ~

Getting natty on the beach!

An oldie original, Mr. S has been refining his look about as long as he's been growing his stache. The impression is unmistakable.

Create a coaster design to show your unique style.

~ ADELAIDE & MR. PISTACHIO ~

A double shot of reality!

Direct, honest and bold. To hear it straight from the horse's mouth it's likely coming from Adelaide not her hoofed friend.

Get your brand message across directly and sharply.

Straight up and hard workin'.

Sweating the details to make you look good. Let's put it this simply. When the Cranky Pressman hits the bar, he's earned it kiddo.

Show the slackers you're hard at work too.

Favorite Mixed Drink: THE HAIRY BACK. Mix 1 shot Jameson, 1 shot pickle juice, 1 glass beer. Pour Jameson and pickle juice into a shot glass. Throw back and chase with cold beer.

For 130 years...

Pulp board coasters have been effectively holding highballs while simultaneously catching eyeballs with graphic brand messages. These dual purpose devices offer a unique creative medium for designers, art directors and marketers with the added benefit of proven wood protection capabilities.

Cranky Pressman offers a line of 12 standard yet interesting die shapes to help our customers design and affordably produce their own letterpress printed coaster projects.

Who better to help launch these new letterpress printables than the senior citizens of beach community living.

See prices and order your coaster printing online in our new Printery & Bindery.

Hi, where can I get those featured coasters from? Many thanks.

[elyhernandez@me.com]

are these for sale?

[Cranky Pressman]

Thanks everyone, we are glad you like the work. Right now we do these things in very limited editions and for self-promotional purposes only and not for sale. We really are just a bunch of hucksters I guess. We appreciate your interest and comments and look forward to creating more goods in the future.

[Aaron O'Brien]

These are too badass not to sell. If you guys ever change your mind, I'd like to order a set.
