Engraving
Engraved
invitations and announcements are the epitome of exquisite.
They are considered to be the finest and most elegant means of
articulating the written word. Engraving is distinguished from
other forms of printing by its sharp distinctive lines and
raised letters created by the pressure exerted by the copper
plate. Skilled craftsmanship is required to create the plates,
which makes engraving the priciest form of printing. If
requested, the plates will be delivered with the invitations and
become the property of the bride and groom.
Letterpress
Letterpress
printing inks a raised metal or custom engraved plate that is
then pressed into a soft, tactile handmade paper such as linen.
This process results in a rich combination of color, texture and
dimension with a nostalgic vibe that can’t be created by any
other printing technique. Letterpress printing rivals engraving
in cost.
Thermography
Thermography
utilizes heat to melt resin powder to produce raised lettering.
The shiny raised printing creates a high-end finish at an
affordable price.
Imprintables
Create
stunning, affordable wedding invitations from the comfort of
your home. Imprintables come in a variety of shapes, colors,
and sizes and can be
printed from your computer. Stationery
kits and specialty software for your computer is available at
your local office supply or craft store. We love the
