Glossary of Terms-
Blind Embossing
- Blind embossing is a printing method where an image is
pressed into paper resulting in a raised design. The
embossing is termed “blind” because the design is
formed without ink or foil. (Debossing is an image stamped
onto paper or a napkin without ink or foil; it appears
“indented.”)
Bright White
- This shade is the ultimate in white, very crisp, pure
and bright!
Deckle Edge
- An uneven, feathery edge on a piece of paper is called a
deckle edge. This edge is most commonly found on parchment
invitations; however, other papers may also have deckle
edges and will be noted in descriptions.
Die-Cutting
- The process of using sharp metal rules to cut shapes and
designs into paper. Die-cutting includes cutout shapes and
sculpted edges.
Double Envelopes
- The traditional set of two envelopes is used with formal
invitations and announcements. The outer envelope is
addressed to the guest and may have your (the sender’s)
address printed on the back flap. The inner envelope, with
the invitation and enclosures is enclosed inside the outer
envelope. The inner envelope carries only the guests’
names. The inner envelope is available with a coordinating
liner; it is not gummed and is not sealed.
Ecru
- This color is a warm creamy beige.
Embossing
- Embossing is like blind embossing above, only this type
of printing uses ink or foil on the raised area to add
drama and dimension.
Foil Stamping
- This effect is achieved when colored foil is hot-stamped
onto paper (perhaps a Christmas card) or accessory items,
such as napkins.
French-Fold
- A sheet of paper folded twice to create a four-paneled
invitation is considered French-folded. This fold is most
common with parchment invitations.
Layers
- This term indicates layers of paper tied or glued
together. If the top layer is translucent and the lower is
decorative paper, you’ll see a muted version of the
lower layer through the translucent top.
Liners
- This term refers to the decorative paper used to line
the inside of an inner envelope or a single envelope.
Panel
- A panel is the center section of your invitation
“framed” by a raised area of paper. It also refers to
pages facing each other. For example, a tri-fold
invitation when opened fully, has a left, middle and right
panel.
Parchment
- This translucent paper is made to look like original
parchment. This distinctive paper adds a softening effect
to any invitation.
Pearlize
- The process that applies a luminous pearl-like finish to
part of an invitation, usually to an embossed design, is
called pearlizing.
Short-Fold
- A short-fold is created when a sheet of paper is folded
once, not exactly in half, forming an invitation with a
short front panel and longer back panel.
Thermography
- This type of printing is created by adding a resin
powder to wet ink, which when heated, creates a raised
surface.
Tri-Fold
- A tri-fold is created when a sheet of paper is folded
twice to form a three-paneled invitation. Both outside
panels are folded inward to cover the center panel.
Vellum
- Vellum is a paper with a rich, smooth finish paper.
White
- This shade is a soft white, like wedding gowns. It is a
delicate hue.
Z-Fold
- A z-fold is created when a sheet of paper is folded
twice in accordion fashion to form a three-paneled
invitation.
