Merry Christmas

 This beautiful arrangement was made by Alma. I was in awe when she brought it in.

The candle is lit today as the weather and festive mood calls for it.

 

We wish all of you a very merry Christmas among your loved ones. Stay warm and save.

 

Christmas cards

 

The cards above a fully custom designed. The images are from the customers Instagram collection. To accompany the winter images she chose a Christmas poem to go with it. There is one page left blank for handwritten greetings.

 

These are semi-custom cards. The design was chosen from a catalogue and the inside is fully custom including the employees signatures.

People these days may think it's so much easier and cheaper to just send out a Christmas greeting by email. But an electronic greeting will never replace a card that was delivered by mail.

Can’t decide?

Not a problem. No matter if you cannot decide on a design for a Christmas card, greeting cards, flyers or like in this case tickets for a New Year’s Eve party. As long as the dimensions remain the same, we can print you all designs or colours at no extra cost.

The tickets shown above have a black background for all uneven numbers and blue for even numbers. It's fun! We design and print tickets for fundraisers, events, lotteries.

Thank you notes

The digital world we live in is amazing, but sending someone a personal sentiment on a printed piece of paper reminds us to slow down and appreciate the thought a bit more than an email.

Black & White

Black & white business cards can be very appealing, especially if typographically well designed. Black & white also looks very crisp. To enhance a simple design a special paper could be the solution. There are many papers available with different textures and shades of white.

The mystery behind bleed

Full bleed is printing from one edge of the paper to the other without the standard white borders.

Bleed is the part on the side of a document that gives the printer a small amount of space to account for movement of the paper, and design inconsistencies. Bleed ensures that no unprinted edges occur in the final trimmed document.

Coated or uncoated paper

Coated paper

Coating is a process by which paper or board is coated with an agent to improve brightness or printing properties. By applying PCC, china clay, pigment or adhesive the coating fills the miniscule pits between the fibres in the base paper, giving it a smooth, flat surface which can improve the opacity, lustre and colour-absorption ability. Various blades and rollers ensure the uniform application of the coating.

Different levels of coating are used according to the paper properties that are required. They are divided into light coated, medium coated, high coated, and art papers - art paper is used for the high quality reproduction of artwork in brochures and art books.

Uncoated paper

Not all paper is coated. Uncoated paper is typically used for letterheads, copy paper, or printing paper. Most types of uncoated paper are surface sized to improve their strength. Such paper is used in stationary and lower quality leaflets and brochures.
