Envelope

Below are the envelope sizes for each of our standard invitation and announcement sizes. These envelopes will not be printed (white only). For printed envelopes, please order here.

Gold or Silver Raised Foil

Make your client’s invitations and announcements look stunning with their choice of gold or silver foil. The foils are raised, so you can literally feel the difference.

Matte Silk Lamination

Each invite or announcement card is laminated with a soft film that adds the silky matte effect. It’s soft to the touch and protects the product too.

Elegant Event Invitations

Silver and gold foil specialty printing is in high demand for wedding invitations, corporate event invites, special announcements, and more.

Step 1

Ensure the file matches the product's required dimensions. Ensure that the artwork is created in CMYK 300 dpi with 1/16 inch bleeds on all sides.

Step 2

Separate artwork into two files: one is for foil lamination, for which the artwork's color should be set to 100% black. Another file should be in the CMYK color space for artwork that is not foil printed.

Step 3

Export all files into PDF format with bleeds.

Important Instructions
For best results, we strongly recommend you ensure the following to avoid delays and/or unexpected print results.

Supply fonts larger than 8pt
Use sans serif fonts
Avoid having artwork underneath the foil areas (i.e. using a mask instead)
Avoid areas of heavy foil coverage with small/fine (non-foil) text or linework knocked out, as there is a tendency for these to fill in.
Leave at least a 5mm (approximately 0.20") foil-free area around the edges. Extending the metallic foil design to the edge of the card creates a high possibility of the foil peeling off.

General File Preparation Guidelines

Download our guides to ensure a more optimal print result.
Be sure to DELETE any hidden layers that are not intended to print (ie: setup guide layers or other hidden artwork layers) to ensure no risk of them appearing on the final print.
Each job (including multiple paged projects) must be submitted as a single PDF file. Ensure that all pages are the same size.
Files must be submitted with proper orientation to ensure proper back up.
It is best to try to avoid using borders in your design. If a border is too close to the trim, the trim may be slightly off-center.
File must consist of 1/8" bleed and all important art and text must be within the safety margin.
Ensure that your PDF is high res and that all images are CMYK at 300 DPI.
Black type should have the following values: C0, M0, Y0, K100.
Embed or outline all fonts.
For best colour results, supply a CMYK only files.
