We’ve printed cards for the friendly folks at Empress a few times now. This time around, we helped develop a new design with artwork based on Emily’s tattoo, thick duplexed paper, and gold edge paint.

PAPER Duplexed Colorplan Candy Pink & Lettra Fluorescent White
INK Custom Green & Pink, Black
EDGE PAINT Gold

Designed by Kristin Allen for Ashley Grant Interiors, these thick two-sided cards are printed on separate 300g sheets, then duplexed after printing so that the impressions on the front and back don’t affect each other. Printing front and back on a 600g sheet is always an option too, but if you want 100% crisp and clean impressions, a duplexed card is the way to go.

These oversized square invitations feature our Tungsten letterpress ink along with a digitally printed "tigers & lemons" wedding seal provided by the couple.

As they put it, “Tiger” is the bride’s term of endearment for the groom as he is the fourth Shoemaker to hold “Tigert” as his middle name. “Lemons” is the groom’s term of endearment for the bride as she is “the lemon to his lime.”

The invitation is printed on our thick 600g Pearl White paper with bright gold edge paint, and it's paired with a metallic gold liner. The typeface combo is great: All caps Bodoni with sans serif Neutra Book.

We also printed mini directions booklets using the same ink combo, but on our lighter-weight 300g stock.

Have you ever seen a logo more well-suited for gold foil? We printed these note cards on our 600g Ecru cotton paper and finished them with some softly rounded corners. Check out Hemly's cider at their website and on Instagram.

Another awesome duplexed card. This one's for interior design firm, MA Allen Interiors. We actually printed wedding invitations for the firm's founder back in 2010, and she came back to us for business cards after opening her Raleigh firm.

On the front we've got gold foil on 30pt black museum board — and on the back, the same gold foil on our pearl white 300g (21pt) house cotton paper.
