A guide to stationery, design, & printing jargon
The world of quality stationery printing comes with its fair share of industry jargon. This glossary is designed to demystify key terms, making it easier to navigate everything from premium wedding invitations and printed baby thank you cards to order of service booklets and photo gifts. Let’s dive in and simplify the journey to perfect printed stationery!
M
Micro-offsetting
Micro-offset printing is the term we have created for our most exciting sustainability initiative. In partnership with World Land Trust (WLT), we are giving our customers the choice at checkout to offset the exact carbon emissions generated by their specific order. The additional amount directly funds the protection of existing forests and the planting of trees via WLT. In doing this, the CO2 produced by an order is captured and locked away, directly reducing its carbon footprint, and helping mitigate global climate change. So if you’re looking for some super environmentally-friendly wedding invitations, or incredibly sustainable thank you cards, then micro-offsetting is for you!
Modern Style
We break our wedding invites and save the date cards into several different style categories. ‘Modern’ is one of these categories. We recommend you take a stroll through our collection of modern wedding invitation designs and modern save the date templates to see exactly what we mean. But generally speaking, modern as an aesthetic is the bold use of colours, sleek lines, and quirky typefaces. Likewise, the use of photographs which do not historically feature on wedding stationery could well be deemed to fall under modern. This page has our full range of wedding invites with photos.
Mohawk
This is the 324GSM card stock from GF Smith that constitutes our ‘Premium’ card offering. It has a light textured feel to it as well as a light cream accent. We think it works particularly well for elegant funeral announcements cards, as well as rustic wedding invitations.
Moving Home Cards
Also known as ‘Change of Address Cards’, moving home cards are essentially an A5 or A6 sized card that are sent out to friends and family when they move to a new house. It’s a polite way of letting you nearest and dearest keep in touch when you’re on the move.
We have a charming range of premium yet affordable moving home cards. Check them out!
