We created our Style Guide to outline all of the personalisation options and design choices that you can make as you dream up your perfect wedding suite. Including printing methods, paper types, envelope colours and more, you’ll find all the information you need to know before you make your stationery enquiry.
To see a variety of design and colours, and experience the quality of our stationery for yourself, we recommend ordering one of our beautiful Sample Packs.
We are proud to work with the best Australian printing partners to bring our designs to life at the highest quality. We offer 4 different printing methods - Digital Colour, White Ink, Letterpress and Foiling. Here is a little info about each one to help you make your decision!
Digital printing can be done on any stock thickness. For full colour designs, we recommend choosing a white/ivory stock to provide a nice blank canvas for your coloured inks to shine. Black ink looks fabulous on almost any colour paper!
Flat digital colour/black printing is the most basic printing method - ink saturated into the page but not pressed. Our printers use the most recent Xerox technology to make the colours and graphics in your design rich and vibrant.
White ink printing is a similar method to digital colour printing in that it delivers a flat print (not pressed into the stock), however instead of printing your design in colour, your design is printed in all white using a specialist White Ink Digital Press.
White ink printing can be done on any stock thickness. Of course, white ink will not show up on whites and very light stocks, so pick a paper that is rich and dark to maximise the contrast and allow your gorgeous design to pop!
Letterpress is a more complex printing method that involves literally pressing your design into a thick cardstock (with or without ink) to give a luxurious, pillowy, debossed effect. Embossing is a similar look, but the design is pressed into the paper from behind (and usually without ink) to create a raised effect off the paper.
Letterpress can be done on stocks that are 300gsm+, but the thicker the stock, the more the paper can “squish” and the deeper the impression will be. We recommend going with a 600gsm+ cardstock for maximum pillowy goodness! It also looks best on lighter papers so you get a good contrast of shadows and highlights from that 3D effect!
Foiling (aka. the Beyoncé of printing) is very similar to letterpress printing, but instead of using inks, your design is pressed into the paper with gorgeous, shiny foil using a hot plate. Not only do you get the unbelievable shine, you also get the dreamy embossed effect that letterpress delivers.
Just like letterpress, foiling can be done on 300gsm+ stocks, but the thicker the better, so we recommend going for double-thick paper (600gsm+)! Due to the foil being completely opaque, it looks amazing on any stock colour.
See our foil swatch list below.
Please note: Only darker colours are suitable for white ink printing. Swatches with a dot beneath them are available for letterpress printing in either 300gsm or 600gsm (double thick).
All of our envelopes can be digitally printed on, in either coloured or white ink.
Hand-addressing is also available for all options.
