What is the difference between the Signature Collection and the Custom Collection?
Our Signature Collection is for the jet setter that wants something already designed. The changes that can be made to them are colors and wording. For those brides and socialites that have more time and would like to go beyond the suggested designs, we offer custom personalized services. We can create a stationery set that is one-of-a-kind to all your specifications. We can discuss all the various options to help bring your vision to life. During our initial consultation I will explain the design process, printing options and any embellishments you might want to consider. Custom design services for weddings begin with a $500 design fee and varies depending on the scope of the project. For small business please inquire for a custom quote. All packages can vary and ultimately depend on the final design. Project proposals may take up to a week to provide and for elaborate custom orders, please allow additional time. How can I see samples of your work? For any of our Signature Collection and few of our Custom Collection designs, samples can be purchased. Those samples will be in the presented colors and names as shown on the site. For locals, we can schedule a consultation meeting. During a consultation, you will have the opportunity to look through some of our printed samples, papers and embellishments. We will have a Signature Collection catalog available soon. This site and our blog display our most current work. What printing methods do you offer? We can use a variety of printing methods depending on the design. We utilize digital printing, flat printing, offset printing, embossing, thermography, foil stamping and letterpress. Are you environmentally friendly? We truly want to make every effort we can to work with innovative and sustainable means for a cleaner and happier world. Together with our clients we can work on choosing better alternatives to reduce waste and use fewer chemicals. We work with printers and vendors that feel the same way. They use soy-based inks (which release fewer compounds into the air when drying) for printing and utilize paper that is no less than 30% post consumer recycled |
fiber. We also do little things like scanning and archiving instead of printing out endless unnecessary papers, we use energy efficient light bulbs, we recycle, and we never let the water run while brushing our teeth! *Wink
Can you print two-sided invitations or programs? Yes! This is actually a great way to utilize paper and take an opportunity to incorporate a bilingual theme. How soon can we get started designing? Once a contract is signed and in hand, we require a 50% non-refundable deposit be made to begin work. Typically, we require 4-6 weeks for the entire process depending on the project. Design time usually takes the greater part; printing, calligraphy and assembly also require more time. Always allow ample time to mail invitations and stationery. We also recommend ordering additional invitations and envelopes in case of mistakes or last minute guests. Designs requiring quicker delivery time will incur a Rush Fee equal to 20% of cost. Can I still work with you if I don't live in California? But of course! I have worked with various clients across the US and Canada. With various correspondences we will be in touch the whole way through to completion. How many invitations/stationery elements should I order? Paper Cut Industries wants to create a complete and unified look for your event. When all elements are thought out and detailed your guests will truly appreciate it and it will be memorable. Custom options are endless. We can create favor cards, escort cards, maps and rubber stamps specifically for you. We recommend ordering an additional 10+ to allow for mistakes or damaged elements. What forms of payment do you accept? Paper Cut Industries accepts Paypal and checks. For all Paypal payments a fee of 2.9% of your total will be charged. All checks must be cleared prior to beginning work. |
