Consultation & Design
After we receive your request on email. Our team will call you and hear you out. You can share pictures, or ideas and all the info we need to get us started. As we try to grasp every detail you are after, we may not be able to immediately provide you with the set price for the product as prices may vary according to the demand of the customer. You may send us an email of your requirements and we will get back to you with an estimated price within a period of 2 working days.
Transfer Funds & Confirm Order
Before we move further and start with your proofing, you will be required to make payment of 100% of the total estimate so we can start production.
WhatsApp Group & Email
We will create a whatsapp group with our team and yours for better communication and quick approvals on ideas and designs. If you already have a design in hand we will need a final production ready files to begin a PDF proof. If you are confused, feel free to contact our team for guidance.
Approve Designs & Make Prepress Files
Once we have both your initial 100% advance payment and your final design, we will initiate the production process. We will then show you a sample of the product for your convenience. Changes after this point will cost you more as altering your design will cause us to reorder new materials. Clients will be subjected to any additional fees or charges incurred and may be subject to the full cost of reprint.
Printing & Quality Check
Due to the custom nature of our work, we do not have a standard turnaround time. During this period, we are making/ordering materials, prepping paper, printing the job, doing any finishing ( colour mixing, trimming, cutting ,etc) It all takes time and by not rushing we can ensure the highest quality product. Please also note that our production time does not include shipping time.
We are looking at an estimate of 3 business days for a wedding invite order of 1000 cards one colour letterpress print. As for envelopes, we offer a variety of colours to choose from. In case you’d like to go for a custom colour, your order will take another 1-2 business days.
Transfer remaining funds
Your remaining balance must be cleared at the time of collection/shipping if any. The total cost including any applicable taxes and changes made, will be reflected on the final invoice.
Pack & Despatch Through Reliable Couriers
Shipping will be charged on actuals. If you have any preference regarding the choice of couriers, kindly specify. Once items are dispatched we hand over responsibilities to the transporter/ courier service.

How many days in advance should we place an order?
The earlier the better, if you are sure of your dates. Letterpressing is a detailed process which requires time and effort if you want your vision reflected perfectly in the end product. So, to be on the safe side, it is always necessary to keep a few extra days in hand.
