Offset or Flat printed Invitations:
Text is flat.
Flat or offset printing is a less formal look and is often used for
informal weddings or other special events. Flat printed invitation is
exactly like it sounds, the ink lays flat on the paper.
Most invitations through out the site are printed using Thermography
technology. There are several card stock and invitation styles that
require flat or offset printing. These may include photo invitations,
shiny card stocks, parchment and some linen stocks.
Foil Stamping:
Text is slightly raised or flat.
Used mostly for thank you notes, favors, bridal accessories and some Holiday cards. Can be used
for some invitation stocks upon request. Heated dies with raised lettering
or images press the foil onto the paper stock. Heat and pressure assist in
bonding the foil to the paper. Foil stamping may have a bit of a raised
look - or be flat, depending on the paper stock being used.
Not all printing methods are able to be used on all paper types. Be sure
to get a sample of any invitation stock you are interested in purchasing
and verify that the method of printing you are interested in is available
for the card stock you want to use to print your wedding invitations on.
