Print Methods
Digital Print
Digital printing is the term to describe where the ink lays flat on the card. A cost-effective and versatile option, digital printing is available in full colour, black or white ink.
Production time:
- 5-10 business days from design approval. The fastest print method if you need your invitations in a hurry.
letterpress
Letterpress is the real deal! It's an authentic, analogue process where your design is etched into a plate and then stamped into thick paper. End result? A tactile quality that makes letterpress stationery unforgettable.
Production time:
- 15 business days from design approval.
Foil Press
This is the beautiful shiny gold you’ve probably seen...but gold isn’t the only option. Foil pressing involves stamping your design through a metallic foil, leaving behind a luxurious shiny finish that reflects and sparkles in the light.
