Letterpress is a unique form of printing that entails a bold, debossing impression onto heavyweight paper. In this process, letterpress elements are printed first and digital elements are printed after.

DOWNLOADING AND ADDING PANTONE PALETTES
You can download Pantone palettes for each of our categories/verticals here. We will continue to add more as challenges are launched!
To import the .ase file into Illustrator:
- From the Swatches Panel in Illustrator: Open Swatch Library > Other Library > select 'MintedLetterpressSwatches.ase'
For more information about technical requirements for Letterpress, please see our Designing for Letterpress FAQ.
PANTONE PALETTES
When you download a Pantone Palette for a Challenge, it will come as one .ase file, and show in Illustrator as one Swatch Library.
However, we divide these palettes into two categories: Dark and light colors. Dark colors are safe to use for both artwork elements and editable and outlined text, while light colors should be used for artwork only.
Note: Color choices will be finalized by our team if your design is selected and may be subject to change to ensure breadth of assortment
