Technically speaking, any card can be as thick as you’d like, but there may be certain technical limitations as you get thicker and thicker. We have worked on custom staitonery projects over 1/2″ thick.

We usually do no more then 4 total layers, but that number could be increased if you want more. Each layer will increase the overall thickness and we will need to take certain steps to make sure there are no unforeseen problems as the layers increase.

Diecutting is best suited for designs that are moderately complex. Anything with extremely fine details would require us to take another route. Diecutting is very precise and clean, and allows for cutouts and scoring, which makes more complex construction possible, including folded items.

We generally use text weight stocks or similar for envelope liners. This also includes lightweight fabrics and cover materials. Envelope liners can also be printed with any of our different printing methods, or even a combination of printing methods.

The primary objective when using card holders and pockets is to turn your invitation suite into a more complete package. Rather than having loose cards in an envelope, pockets and card holders will give each card its own specific place, allowing for a more particular presentation to be made.

A bellyband is another way of turning your invitation suite into a more complete custom stationery package. It helps keeps certain pieces together in a specific order. They can be printed in any method, on a wide variety of paper stocks.

Vellum is a relatively lightweight, semi-transparent paper stock. It is capable of being printed in full-color or white ink, as well as foil stamping. When it is wrapped around or placed over an invitation, you will be able to see the card beneath it as though you were looking through frosted glass. It serves a dual purpose as a decorative item and as a way to keep your invitation suite together.

Both wax seals and cardstock labels can be customized with artwork of your choice and color-coordinated with your package. They generally serve the same purpose, and your choice is a matter of preference. They can be used to seal bellybands, vellum wraps, envelope flaps or anything else that needs sealing. They can also be added to a card as a decorative element, though this is more commonly done with wax seals than cardstock labels.

We do all of our custom stationery work in-house, and we are always up for a new challenge. Let us know what you have in mind and we will use our resources to figure out how to achieve your vision.
