printing methods
Choose from our expert printing techniques to bring your vision to life. Whether you prefer the classic impression of letterpress, the shimmering detail of foil printing, or the raised texture of embossing, we ensure every design is executed with precision and care.
letterpress
Letterpress printing is a timeless technique where inked designs are pressed into the paper, creating a tactile, debossed impression with a luxurious look and feel to it.
embossing
With embossing, designs are lifted off the paper’s surface, creating a striking and textured effect. This technique produces a refined, elegant texture that highlights not only the design but also the beauty of the paper itself.
digital printing
Digital printing is a flat printing method that provides a smooth finish for color artwork or simple black and white designs – which makes it perfect for contemporary and cost-effective stationery.
debossing
Debossing creates a sunken impression by pressing a design into the paper without ink. The result is a subtle, understated effect that adds depth and texture, perfect for minimalistic or modern designs.
foil printing
Foil printing applies metallic or pigmented foil to the paper using heat and pressure. The result is a shimmering, eye-catching effect with a smooth, reflective finish – perfect for adding a touch of glamour.
types of paper
Our paper selection includes a variety of luxurious textures and finishes, from smooth, cotton paper to heavyweight card stock in muted colors. For eco-conscious projects, we also offer premium recycled options without compromising on quality or style. Each paper type is chosen to complement your design and enhance the tactile experience.
colored card stock
Our colored card stock comes in a muted, neutral palette that exudes understated elegance. This heavyweight paper adds depth and richness to your stationery while maintaining a sophisticated and modern aesthetic. Perfect for layering or standing alone.
cotton paper
Luxurious and tactile, our cotton paper is crafted from 100% cotton fibers, offering an irresistibly soft and fluffy texture. That makes it a perfect match for letterpress and other impression-based printing methods. It has a natural feel and timeless appeal.
We understand the importance of finding the perfect paper for your stationery. That’s why we offer a curated sample card showcasing our favorite paper colors and textures – each selected for its timeless elegance and exceptional quality. The swatches give you a true sense of the look and feel of the papers we regularly work with, helping you make confident decisions before placing your order, plus you can play around and find with different color combinations.
white card stock
Our white card stock is a versatile classic – from warm creams to crisp snow whites, this option is ideal for creating clean and timeless designs. Its smooth surface provides a beautiful canvas for any printing technique, ensuring a refined and polished finish.
types of envelopes
Create stationery that stands out with custom shapes for cards, tags, and envelopes. From elegant rounded corners to intricate die-cut details, every shape can be tailored to your aesthetic. Pair your design with complementary envelopes in bespoke sizes, colors, or featuring personalized liners for a polished finish.
cotton envelopes
These envelopes are made from 100% cotton fibres. They are pleasantly soft to the touch and usually have a pointed flap and fine tissue lining; they’re available in neutral tones like white, cream and light grey.
custom shaped envelopes
When standard options don’t quite fit your vision, we can create bespoke shapes tailored to your stationery. From wavy flaps to intricate die-cut designs, these envelopes ensure your suite stands out as a one-of-a-kind creation.
