Your Custom Announcement Order

1. Would you like your design printed on Photo Paper or thicker Coverstock? (Click for pricing pop-up window) Other than price, the difference between the two is paper thickness and method of printing. Your design will look beautiful printed on either paper choice. We proof each order to ensure the color and printing quality you expect from us is excellent. If you have any question about which paper to have your design printed on, and would like to see samples of each, we recommend ordering a sample pack before you place your order.

Photo Paper (Click for pricing pop-up window)

Photo paper is photo paper - like the prints you receive from your local photo lab. We lab print our designs on fugi papers - in matte lustre and glossy finishes. The matte lustre finish resists fingerprints and is the most popular photo paper finish. Glossy is also beautiful, but fingerprints will show. A tasteful, small company sticker is placed on the back of each announcement.

Coverstock Paper (Click for pricing pop-up window)

Coverstock paper is a nice weight/thickness, and is about 2-2.5 times thicker than photo paper. We use the thickest coverstock paper (110#) currently available that can go through the special printers that print our coverstock photo announcements. The printing quality truly can't be beat! A tasteful, small company credit appears on the back of each announcement.
