STEP 2.

After the revisions, we’ll send you a final proof for approval, and once it’s signed, we’ll send it to production.

Please note that all orders arrive unassembled unless you order our white glove service.
Shipping is additional to production time. For your convenience, we offer different shipping methods at checkout.
PRINTING METHODS
DIGITAL & WHITE INK
Also known as flat print. This is the most cost-efficient printing method. Digital printing smoothly leaves ink on paper without leaving any texture or indentation.
Digital printing takes 2-3 weeks after proofs are approved.
LETTERPRESS
Letterpress is made by pressing an inked photopolymer plate over paper to create a deep impression.
Letterpress takes 4-5 weeks after proofs are approved.
BLIND IMPRESSION
It involves the same process as letterpress, the only difference is that this one is made without ink, leaving a beautiful blind impression on the paper.
Blind impression takes 4-5 weeks after proofs are approved.
FOIL
Similar to letterpress, foil printing uses a metal plate but instead of ink, it uses a foil sheet to leave a metallic finish. This also leaves a touchable impression.
Foil takes 4-5 weeks after proofs are approved.
