Invitation Production Guide

Our semi-custom collection suite can be printed in many different ways, with many different material, and embellishments to choose. Personalizing it based on your aesthetic will bring you a unique final look of your invitation.

Let’s get started!

INVITATION SIZES

We have two size options for main invitation card :
Standard size : 12 x 17 cm
Upsized : 15 x 21 cm

Our standard size is able to convey standard wedding invitation wordings with up to two venue details, using readable font size. However, if your invitation has a long wordings or want to display a lot of graphic details, you can choose the upsized one. Please refer to the picture for size comparison.

PRINTING METHODS

Digital Print

Digital Printing prints smoothly to the paper, with no raised or indented impression. If you run your fingers over it, you’ll only feel the slight texture of the paper itself. Digital printing is also known as flat printing.

Letterpress

Letterpress printing is done by creating a plate of your design. That plate is inked with rich matte ink, then pressed into 100% cotton paper, leaving a beautiful, touchable impression of your design. You can feel the indentation when you run your fingers over the printed portion.

Foil Pressed / Hot Print

Foil printing starts with a sheet of metallic foil, that is then pressed by a metal plate of your design into 100% cotton paper. The result is similar to letterpress. You can feel the impression in the paper. Rather than matte ink, the design is pressed into the paper with shiny metallic foil.
