DESIGN QUOTE ENQUIRY

DO..

Experiment with card colours for an eye-catching coloured core.

Utilise white ink + full colour with white underneath on all card colours.

Combine white ink with foil stamping for a really eye catching card! Just remember to allow for around 1-2mm misregistration between ink printing and foil stamping.

DON'T..

Choose White Vanguard stock to be flood printed in a solid colour. Vanguard is digitally printed, so choosing white stock and printing in a solid colour can result in banding and streaking. Instead, utilise the beautiful colours to visually showcase your business cards or brand colours!

PRODUCTION INFO

TURNAROUND TIMES

The production times quoted on our website are based on typical production schedules and cannot be guaranteed. If you require a product urgently or by a specific date, please contact us before ordering and we will do our upmost to adjust our production schedules and meet your needs. Our ability to meet very tight delivery deadlines is subject to order specifications, quantities, machine requirements, third-party couriers and several other factors that may be beyond our control.

COLOUR VARIATION

Colour variation is inherent in any printing process, you should expect a 10% colour shift between print runs. 

PRINTING WHITE UNDERNEATH COLOUR

Printing white underneath CMYK inks can result in a colour shift, depending on the density of the white and how dark the card stock is. For this reason, we offer a courtesy free of charge test print if you select full colour or full colour + white for printing. We will run a test print of your artwork and post it out to your for approval prior to running your job. This is an optional service for those concerned about colour reproduction when using CMYK+White printing. 

FOIL STAMPING

All foil stamping is carried out in-house at After Hours Creative. We apply foil effects using an etched metal die/plate and a combination of heat and pressure to press the foil into the card stock. This foil stamping process creates a slight indentation in the card stock during the foil application. The amount of indentation is carried out at the discretion of the foil technician. Too much of an impression can cause the foil to bleed around the edges or create filling in between foil elements. Our priority is always achieving the highest quality foil print.

DEBOSSING

Debossing entails making a subtle indentation into the stock, with the absence of foil (blind debossing) or with foil. Any media produced with debossing is done at the technician's discretion, as too much of a deboss can cause the foil to bleed around the edges and result in a poor quality finish, so we find a balance between quality of print and the level of deboss.
