WHAT THE PROCESS DOES

Ink you can feel.

A raised plate transfers ink while compressing selected areas of the sheet. The result combines printed colour with a tactile impression.

Paper and artwork determine the character of that impression. Fine reversed detail, large solids and two-sided work are reviewed before plates are made.

YOUR DESIGN

Before you order.

What artwork should I supply?

Send a print-ready vector PDF, AI or EPS with fonts outlined and each side clearly separated. If your artwork needs preparation, ask for advice before ordering.

Can I print on both sides?

Yes. A deep impression can affect the opposite face, so front and reverse artwork are reviewed together.

Can I add another ink colour?

The recycled-board products use black ink; White Sumo uses one ink colour. Additional colours need separate plates and a reviewed quote.

Are painted edges or rounded corners available?

Choose the dedicated painted-edge recycled product or the painted-edge option on White Sumo. Recycled board is supplied with square corners only; rounded corners are unavailable.
