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!

We have set our product offering up to be as flexible as possible. That means that we have paperless alternatives for all of our printed items.

And secondly, we have our exciting range of announcements and invitations designed specifically for WhatsApp. These digital invites are formatted to fit a smartphone screen and we offer them alongside our digital RSVP service. It’s classic stationery with modern delivery.
Photo Cards
A picture is worth a thousand words. When it comes to cards for thanking people after a wedding, or cards to announce the arrival of a new baby, a glorious colour photo is the way forward. Photo cards take pride of place amongst the Utterly Printable design collection. You’ll find designs with room for one large photo, as well of those with room for several. In all instances though, you can design your photo card right here on our website in just a matter of minutes. Just click on the placeholder to select the photo you’d like to use from your computer or phone.
We are particularly proud of our range of wedding save the dates with photos. There you will find a great collection of save the date designs with room for photos of the bride and groom to be.
Place Cards
Our range of printed place cards have been designed specifically for use at weddings. The design range from the celebratory and colourful, to the elegant and formal. Regardless of the style, their purpose is to sit on your wedding breakfast table and show guest where they should go.
As a product, our personalised wedding place cards are 85mm wide and 55mm tall when folded, and we offer them on 2 different types of card. We score and fold the place cards in half so that they sit as a landscape tent on the table top.
Portrait
Portrait is a type of page orientation. A rectangular design or template is considered to be portrait when the top and bottom edges are shorter than the side edges.
Premium Card Stock
In printing terms, paper becomes card at around 210GSM. However, for our collection of premium invitations, announcements and thank you cards, 210GSM won’t do at all.
The 3 card stocks we offer on our website are all premium. Starting at 324GSM, they all have a formal, refined uncoated finish. Furthermore, they are all FSC certified papers meaning that they are derived from sustainably sourced forests.
