About Papiermühle Basel
At Basel Paper Mill we print business cards, certificates and diplompas, wedding invitations, birth announcements and invitation cards. We also do family chronicles, chromatic wood cuts or copper engravings. Since we cast our own type, we can also set and print larger copies. We print high quality reproductions of 18th and 19th century books. We use hand composition aswell as Monotype and Linotype.
