FAQs

There is no limit to the amount of items you can order with us! We do have some capped maximum order quantities on products and we do also have some minimum order quantities (such as x25 as a minimum design quantity on greeting cards). The minimum and maximum quantities are listed on all products within the price calculator pages.

There are up to three options for supplying or designing and customising a product. On every product page you are presented with these available options:

1. Custom Design: lets you create a bespoke design from scratch. Click it to open the design studio and use multiple tools to create your own design from a blank starting point

2. Upload Design: using this option, you can upload your own JPG, JPEG, GIF, PNG, EPS, AI, PDF and PSD images - use this option when supplying already designed - Print Ready Artwork (Also called Camera Ready)

3. Browse Design: If the product has pre-defined templates available for use, then select this option to choose from our pre-loaded templates. Work on them or customise them through our design studio.

The type of paper used for difference purposes is expressed in weight. In the countries following the European system, it is grammes per square metre (gsm or g/m² or simply g) and in the US system it is Pound (lb).

The paper used for writing/printing (letterheads and such stationery) is generally between 60 to 120 gsm (20 to 70 lb) and is called the paper or text stock. Anything heavier than this is considered the card stock, i.e. the paper used for business cards, postcards, greeting cards, etc.

We offer three main paper types in varying weights..

The first of this type is Gloss paper - a triple coated paper with a high sheen - the whitest paper point making it ideal for colour reproduction and vibrancy. This paper as it is triple coated with a gloss finish, provides a refraction of light and shows a highlight.

The second being Silk Paper - a coated paper that is slightly off-white - ideal for business documents or where the resulting finish is desired to be flat and smooth. Under a microscope silk paper has 'ridges' that soak up the light and therefore no refraction occurs.

The third being Matt Paper or often referred to as Uncoated or Bond - This finish of paper has no coating at all, has a high white starting point. As the paper is not coated, offset printing (wet ink) can dry back into the paper making the print appear duller. Digital printing uses toner and is fused on top of the paper, so although the colors are still vibrant the white areas of the print have no coating. This paper is used as standard for items such as letterheads and compliment slips.

All of our paper is sourced and purchased from FSC accredited suppliers.
