Colour and printing variations

Please note that samples may not always be 100% like to like to the final finished product due to the nature of print production and process, which can result in minor variations. Please be aware that colours appear differently on screen as to printing. Matching colours can be tricky, but options will be given where possible and colour samples will be sent to choose from for a small fee where necessary.

Paper stock: Due to the recycled and unbleached nature of some of the paper stocks used, shade and fleck can vary between batches giving each piece of stationery a unique edge.

Envelopes: As standard, recycled fleck kraft v-flap envelopes are used for save the date cards, invitations and thank you cards. The envelopes are made from recycled content, therefore colour/content can vary significantly from batch to batch.
