PRINTING STYLES
From the time-honored technique of letterpress to modern flat printing, I partner with the finest printers to ensure your stationery is impeccably crafted. Not sure which style to choose? I’m here to offer suggestions that will perfectly suit your style and desired investment.
You can (and are encouraged to) mix printing styles within your suite. For example, choose foil stamping for the invitation and letterpress printing for the inserts. Or combine foil stamping with a watercolor background in flat printing.
DIGITAL PRINTING
DIGITAL PRINTING
Digital printing is a modern printing process that delivers high resolution color and is the perfect choice for bolder, more colorful designs. This is the most common printing method.
In digital printing, the ink lies flat on top of the surface of the paper, creating a smooth matte finish. This style of printing is less expensive than letterpress and still achieves a beautiful, elegant result, making it a popular printing choice for the bride who doesn’t want to sacrifice style for price.
LETTERPRESS PRINTING
LETTERPRESS PRINTING
Letterpress dates back to the 15th century and is the oldest, and most luxurious, form of printing. A reversed, raised surface is inked and then pressed into paper, creating an impression you can see and feel. Letterpress gives a one-of-a-kind, tactile result that no other printing method can replicate.
Letterpress plates are created for each color that is imprinted, so pricing is based on the number of colors used. Letterpress is available in 250+ colors and printed on 118-lb. cotton paper in your choice of white, pearl or ecru. Upgrades to 220-lb. double-thick paper are available upon request.
Letterpress is luxurious, stunning and is sure to leave a lasting impression for years to come.
FOIL STAMPING
FOIL STAMPING
Similar to letterpress, foil stamping is a specialty printing process that uses heat, pressure, metal dies and foil film. If you want a shiny, metallic gold or silver for example, foil press is the way to go! Metallic foils have a shiny, lustrous, sparkly finish.
Foil is available in 40+ colors. All foil stamped invitation suites are printed on luxurious, 118-lb, 100% cotton paper in your choice of white, pearl or ecru. Additional paper colors available upon request. Upgrades to 220-lb double-thick paper is also available upon request.
Foil stamping is gorgeous, glamorous and the perfect technique for creating truly stunning wedding invitations.
SPECIALITY FLAT PRINTING
