FLAT PRINT/ DIGITAL
Flat printing is the classic combination of ink and paper, creating an image that is level with the surface of the paper. Being the most affordable option, this would be a great option if you're working under a budget and would like to customize your suite even further by adding embellishments.
LETTERPRESS
This is a VERY old technique which gives a vintage, handcrafted look to the invitation. The printing process involves ink application to a pre-designed metal plate, and then transferred onto paper. Letterpress creates the same look as engraving, but at a more affordable price point. Because each piece is pressed separately, each invitation will be unique.
FOIL
A fine print method where a metallic foil sheet is used on a design plate and then pressed into a heavy stock paper. This transfers the foil to the paper and leaves a slight indentation of the design. This method, like letterpress, works best with cotton paper. The difference is that one uses ink and the other one a metallic foil sheet.

PREMIUM COTTON 118
Our premium cotton cardstock is made of 100% pure cotton! With 118 lbs per square meter (gsm), this paper is great as it has a smooth yet semi-rough texture to it. We offer this paper in natural white (off-white, great for a romantic / organic feel) and bright white (perfect for a modern, classic design). This paper is wonderful for letterpress, digital print or mixed media.
HANDMADE COTTON PAPER
Handmade deckled edge cotton paper (swoon!) With natural, delicate, and feathery deckle-edges, our pieces are made by hand using age-old techniques from 100% cotton – making it possible to achieve organic, luxe, timeless paper. This paper is wonderful for any printing method but works best with letterpress or foil.
HAND-TORN EDGES
An alternative to our handmade cotton paper- we love using our premium cotton cardstock and giving it a deckled look by hand-tearing the edges. We are able to add this finish to all pieces of the suite or just one- it's totally up to you!
