THE PAPER BOUTIQUE
Print Types
Letterpress
The art of letterpress printing dates back to the 15th century making it one of the oldest printing techniques. We letterpress directly on to our high-quality cotton and organic card stocks leaving an impression with a luxuriously smooth look and feel. This technique assures vibrancy of colour using the highest quality hand mixed letterpress inks. This enhances the unique process and creates a beautiful invitation.
Foil Stamp
Foil stamping uses traditional hot foil stampers to apply foil to each card resulting in a stunning reflective metallic or matte finish. The most popular colours are metallic gold, rose gold and silver, but there are a wide range of colours available. A personalised metallic plate is made with your design on it. This is then pressed onto the card stock of choice creating a slight deboss and a classic finish.
Digital Printing
Our professional digital printing is the simplest and quickest, done in house. Although this option is simplistic, we do offer a range of unique finishes. Digital printing is economical, ensuring that only exact amounts of invitations/stationery are printed on time in a fast and efficient method. There are no limits to colours or designs.
Thermography Printing
Thermography is a specialized process that combines offset printing ink with a powdered resin which is baked so that the resin rises to give the ink a raised, textured effect. You could also get this style with glitter ink to make your invite more unique and is offered in a variety of colours and metallic finishes.
Flat Foil Printing
Flat foil Printing is an alternate choice to foil stamping. You can get a similar look without the cost associated with foil stamping. The most popular colours for this type of printing are gold, silver and rose gold. It has a unique speckled, vintage finish.
Etched Printing
This unique process is used on acrylic, lucite, plexiglass and wood. Your custom design is laser etched onto your chosen medium. This style creates a sleek and modern keepsake. We offer a chic selection of mirrored and clear acrylics.
