Emma Jackson of Hunter Paper Co “Hi! I'm Emma, the designer and founder behind Hunter Paper Co, a luxury greetings card &amp; stationery brand based in Belfast. We fuse modern design with traditional letterpress printing methods to create beautiful stationery that brings people together. Since 2016 we have grown significantly and currently supply independent shops across the UK, Europe, USA &amp; Australia as well as a number of major retailers within the UK. We print everything in our range in-house on our 1960’s Heidelberg printing presses. Letterpress is a centuries-old technique in which ink is applied to a raised design and then pressed into the paper leaving a beautiful embossed impression on the page.In 2020 I also established Hunt &amp; Gather, an online stationery shop stocking some of the best stationery brands from across the world alongside the entire Hunter Paper Co range. Hunt &amp; Gather has got off to a great start, and we're constantly growing, working on expanding, adding new brands regularly and hoping to open a physical retail unit post-pandemic!”Instagram - @hunterpaperco @huntandgatherbelfastWebsite: www.hunterpaperco.com
