WHITE INK PRINTING
Rather than printing a reverse image whereby you print the background and leave the text white, we can print using our specialist White Ink Digital Press. The results are amazing on darker coloured stocks.
Single or double-sided printing available. Can be combined with metallic foil, hot press foil or letterpress.
Card stock brands include Woodland, Alchemy, Colorplan, Bloom, Eco Grande, Curious Metallic, Eco Luxury, Mowhawk, Knight White, Heirloom and Gmund.

HOT FOIL PRINTING
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.
Due to a combination of the time and costs involved in set-up, as well as the manufacture of blocks, minimum run is 50.
Single-sided printing. Double-sided printing is also available but using a thicker card stock (600gsm+) is required due to the slight impression showing on the reverse side of the card.
Can be combined with digital, white ink or letterpress.
Card stock brands include Woodland, Alchemy, Colorplan, Bloom, Eco Grande, Curious Metallic, Eco Luxury, Mowhawk, Knight White, Heirloom, and Gmund.
Printing time: Allow 4 weeks + delivery.
If you would like to see the difference between the two, please arrange a consultation.
DIGITAL GOLD/SILVER/METALLIC PRINTING
Digital Gold/Silver/Metallics uses dry toner to lay down digital images directly onto paper/card without a need for expensive printing plates/negatives/blocks.
This means we can print variable data, with a quicker turnaround, do short runs, and print samples for you.
Please understand the difference in the finished product and be realistic with your expectations. There’s a reason Hot Foil Press costs more – it’s the bee’s knees….. the doggy’s doo-dahs of foil – sparkly, glamorous, unrivaled luxury.
Digital Gold/Silver/Metallics are amazing too…. pretty and shimmery…… but definitely not in the same league as Hot Foil Press. Please don’t expect to be able to match digital gold to Hot Foil gold – they will look very different.
Single or double-sided printing available. Can be combined with digital, white ink, hot press foil or letterpress.
Card stock brands include Woodland, Alchemy, Colorplan, Bloom, Eco Grande, Curious Metallic, Eco Luxury, Mowhawk, Knight White, Heirloom, and Gmund.
Printing time: Allow 2-3 weeks depending on the paper you have chosen + delivery.
LETTERPRESS & EMBOSSING PRINTING
It’s a favourite of mine! You can’t resist running a finger over the impression and falling in love with its beauty!
Letterpress (debossed) 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.
Single-sided printing. Double-sided printing is also available but using a thicker card stock (600gsm+) is required due to the slight impression showing on the reverse side of the card. With double-thick, duplexed stock we can apply more pressure to the stock, as there’s depth of stock to push into, creating a greater impression
Can be combined with digital, white ink, metallic foil or hot press foil.
Card stock brands include Woodland, Alchemy, Colorplan, Bloom, Heirloom, Eco Grande, Curious Metallic, Eco Luxury, Mowhawk, Knight White and Gmund.
Printing time: Allow 4 weeks + delivery.
DIE-CUT FINISH
So popular right now are die-cut shape designs. Any design will work – go simple black and white fonts or a full floral design. Choose from arc or angle shapes to create a design that is totally vibing your wedding style.
Card stock brands include Woodland, Alchemy, Colorplan, Bloom, Eco Grande, Curious Metallic, Eco Luxury, Mowhawk, Knight White, Heirloom, and Gmund.
