An inside look at our three-step process.
Our Printing Processes
Tap the + icon to learn more about each print method.
-
The most familiar form of printing—also known as flat printing, is the process of applying ink directly to paper or cardstock resulting in a seamless, or flat, texture on the paper’s surface.
-
This time-honored printing process is done by hand using matte ink and a metal plate, creating an impressed or debossed look on a thicker cardstock like Crane’s famous Lettra paper. At Betty Lu Paperie, we specialize in the best letterpress wedding invitations.
-
The most luxurious option actually isn’t a printing process at all—similar to letterpress, foil stamping gives your wording a metallic shine without using ink. Each card is hand-pressed with metallic foil using a metal plate.
