When the couple intends getting married, they have a lot of choices to make. The choices extend to not only the kind of invitation cards they want to send out, the paper they want it printed on – in case they do not want to create digital cards, they also need to choose the kind of the printing techniques they want to use for the wedding invitation cards.
Here are some popular techniques that are used:
Thermography
This technique is used by those that want budget friendly yet quality wedding invitations. This method consists of a mix of ink in which special kinds of powders are mixed, and this is heated. The result of this is a painted on and raised effect which is clean and very subtle.
Engraving
This method of engraving consists of pressing the paper between a metal plate and an inked plate. This results in a raised and inked letter as the card is punched from the bottom surface.
Embossing
This style consists of the paper being pressed between an inked plate and a metal plate as well however the paper is not colored. This is the reason it is reserved for monograms, borders or flowers rather than used for actual lettering.
Letterpress
This style of printing is used for both modern as well as classic invitations. In this, both the graphics as well as the text are indented on the paper by using a metal plate. The paper, therefore, is of thicker density.
Foil stamping
When a luxe effect needs to be created, metallic foil is pressed on the paper.
Digital
In this kind of printing, a good quality digital printer is used to print the invitations. This not only is preferred as it is cost effective, but it is quick to print as well.
