process
Our process is unique to each client + each project. But how does this generally work? It’s our job to make this process as fun + engaging for you as possible, but also simple. We can’t stress how much we want this to be simple for you.
We will start with inspiration, walk through the composition needs of your suite, and select all of the elements to make your invitation uniquely yours!
TECHNIQUES
Baxter + Bailey works closely with trusted print shops and production companies to bring our designs + your vision to life. Below is a brief and basic overview of some favorite techniques + materials we can use (and we do so, frequently!)
the technique breakdown
“
Digital CMYK printing is a cost effective flat printing method that allows for an endless number of colors to be used. Specialty inks like metallic gold, metallic silver, and white are also available. Digital printing can be especially beautiful when combined with other printing techniques.
Letterpress printing is a form of relief printing in which ink is applied to the raised surface of a printing plate. The pressure with which the press forces the plate into the paper during printing results in the deep impression and desirable texture. Ink color options are virtually endless and can also be metallic in nature, if desired. Letterpress inks are most times not entirely opaque.
Foil press printing uses relief metal dies, a thin layer of foil, which is imprinted on to the surface of the paper using pressure and heat. Unlike letterpress, foil stamping can achieve a true metallic or opaque finish. There is a set collection of foil colors available, but with options for shiny or matte, there are still fun decisions to make!

While these may be some of our favorite materials to work with, they are by no means the only materials we will use!
