Can I print white on kraft paper?
No, unfortunately the recycled kraft paper we use is not suitable for printing white ink.

Do you do letterpress birth announcement cards?
We no longer offer letterpress printing. For best results we recommend using a specialist letterpress printer. There are now quite a few small and large letterpress printers in Australia.

What is he difference between your 350gsm Economy and 350 Premium uncoated paper?
The paper in both of these instances is exactly the same. The difference is how they are printed. Economy is printed on a conventional digital printing press which gives a smoother satin look and feel to any printed areas. Premium is printed on a HP Indigo printing press which gives a matt finish to printed areas. For designs with large areas of print such as solid coloured backgrounds, we recommend our Premium option for best quality results.

Can I do a custom size birth announcement cards?
Yes our online quote builder allows you to select from a range of standard sizes or manually enter a custom size. Simply click the check box next to the standard dimensions to enter your custom size.

How do I supply my artwork?
Please supply artwork for postcards as a press ready PDF with a minimum of 3mm bleed and crop lines. For full details of how to prepare and output files ready to print from Canva, Layout, Adobe InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop please download our artwork specifications from www.printtogether.com.au/pdf/Art-Specs.pdf
Or you can use our free design templates which will automatically be prepared correctly for print - no stress for you!

Can I print a border on my birth announcement cards?
We really don't recommend printing borders on birth announcement cards. We have a shift tolerance of 1mm for birth announcement cards. This means prints can shift in any direction during printing and trimming by up to 1mm. When borders are printed this means some birth announcement cards will look asymmetrical. If you really want a border we recommend only having this on one side of your birth announcement cards and making it at least 5mm in from the edge. This allows us space to re-trim if required to try and make them as symmetrical as possible.

Can I have a sample print of my birth announcement cards before going ahead with the full order?
We do not supply printed samples by default, we print directly from your PDF files. If you would like a price for printing a test sample print only, scroll to the very bottom of our quantity dropdown in our quote builder menu and select 'sample print'. The cost of a sample print is basically all time for setup and finishing, plus postage. Unfortunately it takes us as long to setup and trim one item as it does a whole pile.

Can I have a proof?
We do not supply proofs unless artwork amends are required prior to printing, or you request one. We print directly from you press ready PDF files. For full details of how to prepare and output files ready to print from Canva, Layout, Adobe InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop please download our artwork specifications from www.printtogether.com.au/pdf/Art-Specs.pdf  Or you can use our free design templates which will automatically be prepared correctly for print - no stress for you!

Can I print split quantities for birth announcement cards? For example 1 design x 250 and 2 designs x 500?
Yes just press '+ Add another split quantity' in our quote builder. You can add as many different quantity splits as required. Please also add the quantity in your file names, so we know how many to print of each design -€“ eg Design-Name-1x250.pdf

What if I have more than 1 birth announcement card design?
You can add additional designs by adding more split quantities. Just click '+ Add another split quantity' in our quote builder. You can add as many different kinds as required.

Do you do foil printed birth announcement cards?
No, we do not offer foiling for a couple of reasons.
1. Foil makes it harder to recycled paper as the foil needs to be separated from the paper pulp.
2. To get the best results with foil you need to foil stamp. This involves having metal formes made and using these to stamp foil on to paper. This adds a lot of cost to small runs of postcards. Over the years digital foil has grown in popularity with printers as it is a cheap and fast alternative to foil stamping. In our opinion that is all it it is, cheap and fast, it really doesn't look anywhere near as good a foil stamping. Our goal is to make printing on recycled paper affordable, we therefore have decided not to offer foiling.

Do you print birth announcement cards with Pantone colours?
No we do not print postcards using Pantone colours. All of our postcards are printed CMYK together on large sheets of paper and then trimmed to size. In order to print using Pantone colours, we need to print just your postcards on their own and set the press up with Pantone ink. This takes a lot of time in setup and therefore costs substantially more than printing collectively with others CMYK.

Can I get a sample of the papers you offer?
Absolutely, we have a recycled paper sample pack that contains every paper we have listed on this website. Sample packs costs $10, however this is refunded when you place an order. Request a pack from here: www.printtogether.com.au/prices/order/sample
