Our philosophy

Everything at Bug Press is done with passion for the craft. Your project will receive wholehearted dedication from start to finish. We're here to help you get your business off the ground, to promote your event, to sell your art.

Working closely with our clients at each step of manufacture generates the best product and experience for everyone. Our people are here for your people. We are always available to discuss your ideas or develop solutions. 

Our global environment is a constant priority, so sustainability is standard. All sheets are from responsibly maintained forests. You always have the option for recycled papers with up to 100% post consumer waste (PCW) materials. And all materials are recycled responsibly.  

Humboldt County is a special place, one that fosters a strong appreciation of local over corporate, handmade over mass-produced, and people over profit. We feel very proud to help support such a beautiful and unique community.

With a Passion — Since 1976.

— The health of our community remains paramount at Bug Press —

As coronavirus and other respiratory illnesses continue, we maintain caution as we open our front doors to the public. If you wish to continue meeting at our north side door, call 707-822-2001 or tap on the window and we will respond. —Thank You!
