PRINTING PROCESS TIMES

DIGITAL

ALLOW 1-3 WEEKS

HOT PRESS FOIL

ALLOW 4 WEEKS

This form of printing requires additional time in the printing process due to individual plates being created.

Traditional Hot Foil Press is a process where metallic foil is applied to the surface of the stock using heat and pressure. It involves making a negative, which is then etched onto a magnesium block. The block is locked into position on the machine, heated up and then the foil is placed between the block and the surface of the chosen stock to be stamped/pressed.

Card stock brands include Woodland, Alchemy, Colorplan, Bloom, Eco Grande, Curious Metallic, Eco Luxury, Mowhawk, Knight White, Heirloom, and Gmund.

LETTERPRESS

ALLOW 4 WEEKS

It’s a favourite of mine! You can’t resist running a finger over the impression and falling in love with its beauty!

Letterpress is imprinted into your print piece, creating a depressed effect. Embossing results in a raised surface, with the design higher than the surrounding paper area.

Choose blind embossing or any colour of choice to create a beautiful artwork stationery suite.

Card stock brands include Woodland, Alchemy, Colorplan, Bloom, Heirloom, Eco Grande, Curious Metallic, Eco Luxury, Mowhawk, Knight White and Gmund.
