AQ Coated Invitations & Announcement Cards printed CMYK at 300 dpi with 0.125" bleed. Invitations are the heaviest-stock card format — built to be displayed on a fridge for months. Specialty stocks (pearl, kraft, foil) and premium finishes carry the weight of the occasion. Stock: 14pt. Finish: aqueous coat. Order online with instant pricing across stock, finish, and size combinations; we run print-ready file checks (bleed, safe zone, DPI, color space) before going to press.

How it compares
- The finish principles (matte for editorial, UV for photo, silk lam for keepsake) apply across most paper-stationery formats.
- Card-stock principles (14pt premium, 16pt upgrade, 18pt keepsake) apply directly to greeting cards, invitations, and door hangers.

What is aq coated invitations & announcement cards printed on?
AQ Coated Invitations & Announcement Cards prints on 14pt stock with a aqueous coat finish.
How should I prep my file?
Build at the final trim size plus 0.125" bleed on every outer edge. Keep important text and logos at least 0.125" inside the trim line. For folded products, account for the fold position when laying out panels — the configurator shows the per-panel safe zones. Export as press-ready PDF at 300 dpi in CMYK. Outline fonts before export.
Do envelopes come with the cards?
Matching envelopes ship with greeting cards and invitations as standard. Envelope colour matches the card paper where possible. For specialty stocks (kraft, pearl, foil), envelopes are the standard bright white unless otherwise specified.
How long does production take?
Most paper-stationery formats run 3–5 business days from file approval, plus shipping. Specialty finishes (foil, spot UV, die-cut, lamination) add 1–2 days. Larger quantities don't meaningfully extend production because press setup dominates short to mid runs.
