PROJECT PROCESS
Our collaborative process enables us to work closely with you. This ensures we will achieve an appropriate style and tone within the requirements of your project. As part of this process, we include a one-to-one consultation to explore your vision. Initial design concepts are then presented. Feedback at various points ensure you remain involved and in control of the desired outcome.

Production Techniques
Textured Specialty and Printing
When printing digitally on textured stock, the depressed areas of the surface may not adhere to the print. This is due to the toner being applied to the surface and then passing through heated rollers. This can sometimes be the desired effect. We recommend a sample print on textured surfaces to ensure it meets your approval.
Letterpress Printing
Letterpress printing is an age old technique of relief printing using a printing press. A process by which many copies are produced by repeated direct impression of an inked, raised surface against sheets or a continuous roll of paper - the finished item has the text sunken in to the card. Impressions are best made on a thick cotton board
Foil Stamping
Foil stamping is the application of metallic or pigmented foil on to a solid surface by application of a heated die onto foil, making it permanently adhere to the surface below leaving the design of the die. Foils can be metallic or matte and are available in a high range of colours and effects. Gold and Silver being the most popular.
Offset Printing
Offset printing is a commonly used printing technique in which the inked image is transferred (or "offset") from a plate to a rubber blanket, then to the printing surface.
This technique enables you to print in exact colours (Pantone) but is suited to printing 250 or more items.
Embossing and Debossing
Embossing is created by stamping a design on (a surface or object) so that it stands out in relief. Debossing is created in a similar fashion except the indent is pushed forward and stands up from the page (the reverse of embossed imagery).

Screen Printing
Screen printing, also known as serigraphy, is a method of creating an image on paper, fabric or some other object by pressing ink through a screen with areas blocked off by a stencil. Screen print uses acrylic paints and is suited to the application of one colour. Metallic finishes are also achievable.

Edge Painting
The application of colour to the sides of card. Suited to thicker cardstock in order to give the desired impact. Any colour can be applied including gold and other metallics.
Paper Alternatives
A range of high quality paper and cardstock will be recommended but we can also work with your chosen particular stock. Other alternatives can include print on material, hard perspex sheets, wood or metal.
Thermography (Raised) Printing
Raised print achieves the effect of text or images lifting up from the surface of the paper or card. A plastic resin is applied to the printed area and then heated to 'bake and raise' the print. Raised print has a gloss sheen finish and can be applied to any colour including metallics.
Wax Seal
Melted wax is applied to paper or card and then pressed with a brass die. Any design can be cut in to the brass head and used many times for years. Suitable for sealing letters or invitations or adding an authentication to an award or certificate.
Die Cut
Custom shaped paper or card is achieved through die cutting. A master template is made and used to cut the item to the exact requirement. Suited to invitations that want to add a unique finish - from rounded corners to complex shapes.
Laser Cutting and Etching
Different to die cutting (shapes) laser cutting can achieve a very intricate finish. Exact cuts are made as a laser burns the desired cuts following an electronic template. The cuts are intricate enough to produce a lacework finish to paper, card or wood.
