We offer four printing methods: Flat Digital Printing, White Ink Printing, Letterpress Printing or Hot Foil Stamping.

Flat digital printing is a common form of printing, using digital machines the design of your choice is inked onto the paper. Our most inexpensive print method, the ink is flush with the paper, leaving it neither raised, or indented to the touch. Best for designs where multiple colors are used for a vibrant appearance.

White Ink printing is another form of digital printing using a specialised printer with only white ink. It sounds crazy that white ink does not exist in digital printing, but this method allows for beautiful white ink on dark coloured papers, especially navy and black stocks.

Letterpress printing is a luxurious print technique where plates are used on an antique machine to “press” the ink of choice into the paper. The machine feeds the paper and operated by a print artisan. Letterpress is best for designs with one or two colors, and where texture is appreciated.

Hot Foil stamping is another luxurious printing technique where plates are used for the application of metallic or pigmented foil on to a solid surface by application of a heated die, making it permanently adhere to the surface below leaving the design of the dye. Hot Foil stamping looks amazing on its own or perfectly paired with Digital or Letterpress printing techniques.
