ORDERING PROCESS
Step 1
To place an order, you can either purchase directly from our online store or email your request to orders@paperdollsdesign.com.
Please Note: To avoid costly reorders, make sure you order plenty
of invitations and envelopes. We suggest that
you order an extra 25 items now to allow for
addressing errors and last-minute additions to
your guest list.
Step 2
If ordering online, please allow up to 48 hours to process your request. If you contact us via email, we will respond within 48 hours, requesting the information needed to complete your order.
Once your order has been processed, you will receive digital proofs (in the form of a PDF document) via email. After your order has been processed, it takes up to 48 hours to receive a proof.
Step 3
Please check
all wording on proofs very carefully
– read proofs line by line, letter
by letter. Once you have approved the
proof by signing it and faxing it back
to us, Paper Dolls Design is not responsible
for any errors that were not detected
by the customer during the proofing
process.
If a change needs to be made when you receive
your proof, contact us immediately via
email at orders@paperdollsdesign.com or
via fax at 404-296-3219. We will make the
change and promptly send a second proof.
Any additional changes thereafter are $50
per change.
After checking your proofs, sign and fax the approval form back to us.

Step 5
When your invitations are delivered, please check the contents of your box thoroughly. If there is an error in your order,

If the error was not made by Paper Dolls Design and the order must be reprinted you will be billed again for the order, less a 25% discount for reprinting. Paper Dolls Design is not responsible for any errors that were not detected by the customer during the proofing process.
PRINTING PROCESS
What is Engraving?
Engraving is a printing process in which artwork is etched into a metal plate. When ink is applied, these etched areas act as small wells to hold the ink. The paper is then forced against the plate under tons of pressure. The ink is lifted from the etched areas, which creates raised letters and images on the paper. Engraving produces very sharp and precise lines and makes a bruise on the back of the paper. Engraving is more costly than thermography and flat printing.
What is Thermography?
Thermography produces raised printing similiar
in appearance to engraving and is a great alternative
to the more expensive engraving process. Thermography is
a process where slow drying ink is applied to paper and while the ink is still wet, it is lightly dusted with a colorless resinous powder. The paper passes through an oven to bake the powder and fuse it to the ink. The cost for Thermography and Flat Printing is usually about the same.
What is Flat Printing?
Flat or Lithography Printing is a process in which ink is applied to paper on an offset press. The ink is completely flat on the paper with a matte finish.
Colored inks
Ink color options vary from collection to collection. See color charts for detailed information on color options >>
