What Wedding Invitation Printing Options Do You Have?
If you are struggling on which method of wedding invitation printing options you have, then stay on this page and keep reading:
Flat Printing
Flat printing is the “standard” form of printing for Blushed. It may sound super boring and cheap, but it is not dull at all! It’s the most cost-effective option and the best way to showcase a variety of artwork. Everything from pencil or ink line drawings to watercolor washes or florals are created by using the flat printing method. It is the only way to print watercolor.
Letterpress
Letterpress is the current queen of stationery trends. If you have been browsing invitations on Pinterest, you may have pinned a few letterpress designs.
This is a method of relief printing that uses a printing press. The designer uses a plate to create an impression on the paper in the desired color, using ink, blind, or a foil press. Simply put, the letters or designs of an invitation are literally “pressed” into the paper. This method creates a beautiful, tactile experience that the viewer can both see & feel. And the best part – if you are dying to use letterpress, but want to showcase a lot of artwork, you can combine letterpress with flat printing for a stunning effect.
Metallic Foil Printing
There are two types of foil printing:
- Foil stamping is similar to letterpress, which means that you also have to pay for a plate—A large, hard surface with a raised design on it that is pressed against the paper.
- Toner transfer foil is a wedding invitation printing method that you may have seen before. A laser printer is used to create a single color design in black. Then, the special foil is placed on top of the design and placed through a machine (similar to a laminator) that heats the foil and ink, causing the who to adhere to each other. The rest of the foil is simply swept away. This method isn’t as expensive, but it’s labor-intensive as each piece is done by hand, and very few print shops offer this specific method.
