PRINTING TECHNIQUES
Letterpress
Letterpress is a 600-year-old artisan technique that involves pressing inked plates onto paper, resulting in a debossed impression. Ideal for minimalist designs and fine details, the pillowy softness of letterpress on cotton paper adds an heirloom quality to your stationery.
Metallic foil
Using heat and pressure, metallic foil like gold, silver, rose gold, or even holographic is transferred onto paper, creating a stunning, reflective finish. It’s the perfect technique for highlighting text, monograms, and patterns, giving your invitations a touch luxury and elegance.
Digital
Digital printing is a modern method that prints digital designs and artwork onto paper with sharpness, vibrant colors, and precise detailing. It’s versatile, time-efficient, and cost effective, making it suitable for various designs and quantities of event stationery.
