Invitation Printing
We are a print house, not a template shop. Send us your design, or your stationer’s, and we print it properly — on stock you choose, at any quantity, including one.
What we print
Anything that goes in an envelope or sits on a table:
- Invitations — weddings, engagements, birthdays, christenings, corporate events, product launches.
- Save the dates and RSVP cards, printed as a set so the stock matches.
- Details and information cards — accommodation, wishing well, dress code, directions.
- On-the-day stationery — menus, place cards, table numbers, order of service, order of the day.
- Corporate — event invitations, launch cards, and place settings for functions.
Send us your design, or your stationer’s
Most of what we print is somebody else’s artwork, and that is normal. If you have designed it yourself, or a stationer or designer has designed it for you, send the file and we will print it. We are not going to try to sell you a design you already have.
Print-ready means a PDF with fonts outlined, images at 300 dpi at final size and 3mm bleed. If your file is not quite there we will tell you what it needs before we start, not after.
If you do not have artwork at all we can design it — but that is a separate step with its own timeline, and plenty of our customers never need it.
White ink, which most printers cannot do
A standard four-colour press has no white. It lays cyan, magenta, yellow and black onto white paper, and anything that looks white in your design is just the paper showing through. The moment your stock is black, navy, kraft or coloured, that stops working.
We have a physical white channel, on both the flatbed and on card stock. That means white ink on dark invitations, printed as ink rather than foiled or screen printed — which is why a lot of stationery quoted elsewhere as white on black comes back as something else entirely.
Names printed automatically, not by hand
We print with variable data, so a hundred invitations carrying a hundred different guest names is one job, not a hundred. Same for place cards and table numbers. There is no per-name setup cost, and a late change to the guest list is a text edit rather than a reprint.
No minimum order
We will print one invitation if one is genuinely all you need — a replacement, a sample to hold, a keepsake. The per-unit cost is higher at that end, obviously, but there is no rule stopping you.
What it costs
Invitations run from about $0.50 to $10 each inc GST, and quantity is the biggest lever — the per-unit price drops sharply as the run grows. Place cards start from about $0.10 each inc GST. Stock, size, finish, and white ink on dark or coloured card all move the number. Send your quantity and stock and we will quote it exactly.
When you need it yesterday
Standard turnaround is 2 to 3 business days to dispatch from artwork approval. If your date has moved or a supplier has let you down, same day printing is available on artwork approved before 1pm, subject to capacity and carrying a surcharge. Ring 0415 743 691 before ordering rather than after — an honest no is more use to you than a maybe.
Most online stationery sits on a two to four week lead time. That is the gap we fill.
Printing for stationers and designers
A good share of our invitation work is trade. You design, we print, your client never hears from us. We do not put our name on your work, we do not contact your client, and you are free to resell at whatever you charge — you own what you buy from us. If you want to test the quality before committing a client to it, ask for a sample.
