The elegance of a handwritten message.
Taking the time to write a few words by hand is a rare gesture of consideration.
From the choice of paper to bespoke finishes, every detail matters in ensuring that this piece of correspondence accompanies your words with quiet distinction.
Correspondence cards are characterized by their elegant format and great simplicity.
They feature a monogram, a name, or an address, discreetly placed to leave ample space for writing.

Every detail is considered to create harmonious stationery that reflects your personality.

The correspondence card formats offered by Maison Benneton Graveur are rooted in the tradition of fine engraved stationery, inherited from the customs of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. At the time, formats were determined by the size of available envelopes and by established social conventions. The smaller format, 128 × 80 mm, corresponded to the “billet”: a brief and elegant form intended for a short note. The larger format, 155 × 110 mm, was more commonly used for longer messages, such as notes of thanks.At Benneton Graveur, classic formats are available, but each project can be adapted to suit your preferences and intended use. You may specify a particular format in our dedicated quote request form for correspondence cards, so that its feasibility can be assessed.
Benneton Graveur correspondence cards are made using exceptional papers, selected for their quality, presence, and writing comfort. Vellum paper offers a smooth, even surface, while laid paper reveals a subtle texture imbued with tradition. Paper weights vary to suit every use.
Several techniques can be used to enhance your correspondence card. Engraving, carried out using a block created especially for you, ensures incomparable delicacy and depth. Raised printing offers a subtle sheen and delicate tactile relief, while flat printing brings out the precision of the line. Bespoke motifs, or motifs chosen from our emblematic collection, are hand-stamped.
At Benneton Graveur, each creation is unique and reflects the personality of its owner. Beyond the choice of paper and typography, a monogram, motif, coat of arms, or personal symbol can be incorporated into your correspondence card. Other finishes are also available on request, including our emblematic hand-gouached borders.
The creation of a bespoke correspondence card includes several stages: an initial conversation about your project and wishes; the preparation and approval of a quote; the development of graphic proposals and approval of a proof; the production of your set of cards; and a final stage of manual quality control, carried out card by card by our team.Your order is then carefully packaged and made available for collection at our Paris boutique.
