Printing Techniques

The beauty in printing your stationery is that there are many options that will ultimately determine the end result of your print.

FLAT PRINTING (Digital Printing): You’ll receive an endless variety of colors to incorporate into your stationeries design. Highly recommended for the use of watercolors, but not excluding other prints. Allows you to print vivid colors on heavier, sturdier paper.

LETTERPRESS PRINTING: You will receive the beauty of a textured impression right onto your stationery. Typically an old yet timeless printing method, Letterpress printing offers quality, albeit on the high price end.

SCREEN PRINTING: Allows you to use special inks, fluorescents, and metallics or opaque white ink on black backgrounds.

ENGRAVING: The process of using a printer to create raised graphics or an “embossed effect.”

FOIL STAMPING: Allows you to add shine to your stationery. This method is also compatible with digital printing.

DIE CUT: Allows you to turn your ordinary stationery into virtually any visual image.

EDGE PAINTING: Allows you to add color to the edges of the card, invitations, through the Pantone Color System.
