printing methods
DIGITAL OR FLAT PRINTING
$
Digital printing is a common and cost effective option. This is the perfect way to print images and watercolor because it can easily use full color. We also offer white ink digital printing. White ink is a beautiful way to make a message pop on colored paper.
LETTERPRESS PRINTING
$$
Letterpress is a beautiful traditional method of printing. It is created by using a plate this is inked and pressed into the paper leaving a pillowy impression. Letterpress works best on cotton paper. The thicker the paper is, the deeper the impression will be. Each different color of ink needs a different “pass” onto the paper. Each pass will need a different plate and will add to the cost.
FOIL PRINTING
$$$
Foil stamping uses the same method as letterpress but instead of applying an ink color, it presses foil into the paper. The most popular foil colors we use are gold, rose gold and copper.
envelope colors
Our envelopes are all cardstock with a euroflap and are available in a variety of colors to coordinate with your color scheme. *these envelopes may require white ink printing.
Ink colors
The ink colors below are available for both digital and letterpress printing methods. Gold, rose gold, and copper are available for foil printing. More colors may be available upon request, please just ask!

Wax seals are the perfect final touch to your invitation suite. We offer wax seals that are pre-made with adhesive backing for easy use. They can be placed on the back of the envelope, on a belly band, or over a vellum wrap.
