Thermographic printing is a beautiful printing technique. Along with the different types of invitations thermography printing is also used widely on business cards, letterheads, and envelopes. This printing method is giving a 3D edge to printed fonts and simple logos. It can also be used as detail to 2D images. Thermography Powder is applied to the paper, next the invitation goes into a vacuum where the excess powder is removed leaving only the ink parts coated. Finally, the invitation goes into a heating area where the powder is activated and raises the ink. Letterpress Printing Letterpress printing is a form of relief printing. Once known as the fastest way to print, letterpress printing is now admired for its elegant style. To begin, a stamp of your text is made and placed on the letterpress. Ink is then put on the stamp and the machine is started. As the machine pulls paper the stamp creates a relief that is filled with ink. What is Die Cutting, Die Cut Invitation Printing Similarly, Die cutting follows the same process with just a few changes. Instead of a stamp, a sharp paper cutting shape called a die is made and placed in the machine. During this process, no ink is used. As the machine pulls paper the Die cuts the paper into the desired shape. Laser Cut Invitations Laser cutting is precision cutting. This method creates a much finer cut than what you would get in a die cut. The detailed cuts made by laser-cutting allow us to cut intricate lace patterns, fretwork, text, logos, or other fine graphics into paper, thin paperboard or thin cardboard. The best thing about Laser Cutting is, it is often more affordable than die-cutting for low-volume runs. This is due to the fact that laser-cuts are run on CNC machines and do not require a custom die to be cut for your print project. Hot Stamping, Foil Stamping, Foil Printing The thin strip of foil – which comes in a variety of colors besides gold – is threaded through a foil press machine. Your surface (a blank card, invitation, etc.) is placed underneath the foil. The stamp is them heated and applied to your card with pressure. This leaves a deboss (which we all know what that is now) allowing the foil to fill in the remaining space. This method can be used for invitations, business cards, and even on books.
