Paper Types & Printing Methods
Standard Paper Options
Cardstock | 120 lb Eggshell
This is a lightly textured, heavyweight cardstock with clean edges. The most inexpensive option, however, it makes for a very crisp print. Not suitable for letterpress.
Cotton | 110 lb Ivory 100% Cotton
While also having straight edges, this paper has a lush, cottony texture and allows for a lovely letterpress or foil impression.
Handmade | 150 GSM Ivory 100% Recycled Cotton
This paper has very tangible texture with “natural” edges. It looks gorgeous when digitally-printed, letterpressed, or foil-stamped, and has an organic feel.
Paper Upgrades*
Double-thick Cotton | 220 lb Ivory 100% Cotton
Most-recommended for a deep letterpress impression. This paper makes a statement as it is ultra-thick and luxurious.
Other Handmade or Specialty Papers - please contact us for more available options
*These paper upgrades are available as add-on items. Must purchase in addition to the suite card of choice.

Printing Methods
Digital
Ink is transferred to the paper via a professional laser printer (for cardstock) or inkjet printer (for handmade).
Letterpress
A timeless, centuries-old printing process where each sheet is hand-fed into press that contains a plate that physically makes an impression into the paper.
This method provides a tangible effect to your invitations- your guests will run their fingers across your invitation and feel the indention in the paper. Only available on cotton or handmade papers.
Foil-Stamping
Similar to letterpress, foil-stamping uses a press that combines heat and pressure to adhere metallic foiling to your paper.
This process adds a glamorous touch to your stationery, and is recommended to be paired with cotton or handmade paper.
