We understand every couple's invitation needs are different, which is why we offer individual quotes instead of set prices for set quantities. After your quote request is received, we will create your quote based off of the preferences submitted. You will receive an email shortly after where you can review your quote details.
For a custom design, the average RSD couple invests around $2,000 - $4,500 CAD.

DIGITAL PRINTING
Digital Printing prints smoothly to the paper, with no raised or indented impression. Digital printing is also known as flat printing. Printing and production time after approval of your design: up to 10-14 business days.
Letterpress
Letterpress printing is done by creating a plate of your design. That plate is inked with rich matte ink, then pressed into cotton paper, leaving a beautiful, touchable impression of your design. You can feel the indentation when you run your fingers over the printed portion. Printing and production time after approval of your design: 3-4 weeks, plus shipping time to our studio once printing is complete, typically 1-2 business days.
FOIL STAMPING
Foil printing starts with a sheet of metallic foil, that is then pressed by a metal plate of your design into cotton paper. The result is similar to letterpress. You can feel the impression in the paper. Rather than matte ink, the design is pressed into the paper with shiny metallic foil. Printing and production time after approval of your design: 3-4 weeks, plus shipping time to our studio once printing is complete, typically 1-2 business days.
EMBOSSING
Embossing starts with two custom metal plates of your design which then has 100% cotton paper placed in between them and pressed. The result is a three-dimensional effect of your design that is raised off of the paper of your print. Printing and production time after approval of your design: 3-4 weeks, plus shipping time to our studio once printing is complete, typically 1-2 business days.
DEBOSSING
Similar to Embossing, Debossing starts with two custom metal plates of your design which then has 100% cotton paper placed in between them and pressed. The result however, is imprinted into your print piece (similar to the idea and feel of letterpress, just without the ink). Printing and production time after approval of your design: 3-4 weeks, plus shipping time to our studio once printing is complete, typically 1-2 business days.
