Papers and printing techniques
for invitations
To make your invitations unique
On this page you will find the main paper and printing techniques for wedding invitations available in our studio. Every material and finish produces a different result in terms of colour, texture, relief and touch.
We use high-quality cards produced by Italian and European paper mills. Furthermore, when available, we choose FSC®-certified media from sources managed according to environmental responsibility criteria.
To reduce the use of plastic materials, we do not produce PVC invitations or synthetic media. Instead, we will help you find the most suitable combination of paper, design, printing technique and budget.

PRINTING METHODS
Digital printing
Digital printing
hammered paper
The ink is applied directly onto the paper, there is no embossing effect. It allows for the printing of a wide colour gamut and gradients. This is the ideal printing method for a coloured or watercolour design.
Digital printing
handmade Amalfi paper
Paper artisanal Amalfi has been handmade since the Middle Ages according to ancient Amalfi traditions.
It is only produced in certain standard formats, which is why, in some cases, the graphic design is adapted to the available sizes.
Each original sheet features a embossed filigree with the trademark of the paper mill, distinctive element that guarantees its authenticity and provenance.

Letterpress printing
Letterpress printing
cotton paper
The letterpress it is a typographic technique that presses the design into the paper, creating a tactile bas-relief. To achieve a defined result, a thick, soft paper is used, such as cotton or certain artisanal papers.
The stated price refers to single-colour solid print.
It is not possible to reproduce gradients; therefore, this technique is not suitable for photographs, watercolours or multi-coloured illustrations.
