The Armarie Room is a letterpress print studio at 87 Atawhai Drive in The Wood, Nelson. The studio was founded by the artist Renee Hadlow and describes itself as an award-winning print studio. It works with vintage cast iron presses and mixes its inks by hand, then pairs them with a range of papers.
The studio offers artisanal design, letterpress printing and hands-on printmaking workshops. Its best-known work is wedding stationery, including invitations, menus and sample packs, along with business cards, logos and branding. Online orders are dispatched from Tuesday to Friday. Customers can also visit the printery in person.
Customers say the communication is clear and the service personal, and they describe the wedding invitations and business cards as high quality, with samples offered during the design stage. One couple says the studio delivered quickly, and others say the custom designs matched what they wanted.
