About Letterpress Printing
Letterpress is currently considered the most modern and popular printing option for wedding invitations and paper goods. Its luxurious look and timeless feel can be both feminine and fun.
Letterpress is a printing technique in which a raised plate of the invitation design or desired artwork is inked and pressed onto paper. The pressure of the transfer leaves the traditionally thick and soft stock with a deep impression of the design. Each piece of paper is fed individually through an antique printing press for each color being printed. This is why letterpress printing is priced on a per color basis.
Pros: luxurious feel and look, heavily texturized and thick stock, in vogue
Cons: not ideal for invites with over 3 different ink colors
About Flat Printing
Flat printing or digital printing takes a digitally based image and transfers it to paper creating a smooth image with no impressions or raised text. The largest difference between flat printing and letterpress printing is that no special plate is needed in the process. Because of this, an unrestricted number of colors can be used without affecting the price.
While flat printing can be used for wedding invitations, it is most traditionally used for day of paper goods including wedding programs or dinner menus.
Pros: unrestricted number of colors
Cons: no raised or impressed texture
About Foil Stamping
Foil stamping is used when a metallic design or text is desired. Creating the same deep impression as letterpress, colored, metallic foil is sandwiched between a copper plate with raised artwork or verbiage and paper. Pressure from the printing press is then used to transfer the foiled design to stock. Foil colors used are traditionally silver or gold.
Pros: luxurious feel and look, only way to effectively attain a true and opaque metallic color
Cons: limited colors
