About Norman

A division of Cordes Printing, Inc., located in Wyckoff, New Jersey, Norman’s Printery specializes in fine letterpress printing. Our founder Norman Cordes became enamored with typography and letterpress printing when he was just a lad.

From the early 1950’s through the ‘80’s, Norm acquired a fine collection of equipment and letterpress paraphernalia, which eventually overtook both basement and garage at his home in Ridgewood, NJ. What started as a hobby gradually became a business and turned into Cordes Printing.

Now in our 35th year in business and into our third generation, we continue to produce fine printing with the passion Norm had when he started printing back in the 1950’s. Although we have expanded into 8500 sq. ft. and offer all the latest technologies in printing, we never stopped producing letterpress. So if you are looking for the best in letterpress printing, in a timely fashion and at an affordable price, Norman’s Printery is the place for you. Call or e-mail us today. Someone friendly is waiting to help you!
