Hot Foil Pressed and Digital Ink

A bespoke metal plate is designed and engraved for one part of your invitation, usually the couple’s names. This is then pressed into the cardstock giving a beautiful metallic finish with a slight impression, the remainder of the invitation is digitally printed. This can work out less expensive than a full foil pressed invitation and the plate can often be reused on your ceremony booklets

Embossed Wedding Save the Date Cards

Blind Embossing

Two bespoke plates that fit perfectly together are engraved and then used to press the cardstock up to create a beautiful raised impression. This is called blind embossing. The text is raised from the cardstock, rather than pressed into it. This results in a very modern finish. If your names are blind embossed, the plate can be used again on other stationery items, like thank you cards and ceremony booklets
