Invitation Printing

The smallest order is 25 and the largest listed is 2000; the list starts 25, 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1000 and carries on from there. The price on the page covers every item in that quantity. To compare two quantities fairly, split each total by its number. A bigger run than the list allows can be priced separately on our Get a quote page. Sizes for these cards go from A6 (105 × 148 mm) at the small end to A5 (148 × 210 mm), 2 in all.

From £26.22 for 25, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Before delivery, these cards cost from £25.85.

The whole UK is covered. Outside it, sadly, we cannot deliver. Mainland addresses in the Highlands pay one extra £10 on the order, even when delivery would otherwise be free. For Northern Ireland, and for the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man, we tell you the delivery cost before you pay, so message us your postcode on the Contact page or our Get a quote page. Choose Saver and these cards leave us after 6 working days; Express brings that down to 2.

Work back from the day you need them. Express takes 2 working days to get Invitations out, against 6 on Saver, and costs £29.93 on the opening option rather than £25.85. Add up to three working days for the courier, plus any time you need to finish the file. Cutting it fine? Put your date in the question box before you order.

Roughly 1,748 pixels across and 2,480 down for an A5 (148 × 210 mm) design, which is 300 dpi. Things read at arm's length need that 300 dpi at full size to stay crisp. Text and logos are safest as vector art, which never goes fuzzy. Pictures saved from a website or social media are nearly always too small, and our file check will point out any that could print blurred. If you have no file, you can build the design for these cards in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering.

Every file gets a human check for size, bleed and resolution, and we contact you about any problem before printing. With the online designer, what you see on screen is what gets printed. Nobody can know your details better than you, so double-check names, numbers and dates: we print what is supplied, and work begins once the order and file are confirmed. Sizes for these cards go from A6 (105 × 148 mm) at the small end to A5 (148 × 210 mm), 2 in all.

Yes. Pay now and add the file afterwards: uploading after ordering is allowed, so you do not have to wait for the final version. If a volunteer, friend or designer is preparing it, they can send the finished file to you to upload, or get in touch through our Contact page quoting your order number. Nothing goes to print until the file arrives and has been checked, so if there is a date to hit, get the artwork over as soon as you can. Make the artwork for these cards the same size as the one you order, such as A6 (105 × 148 mm).

A PDF made at the size you ordered works best, with the fonts embedded or turned into outlines. AI, EPS and SVG are fine too, as are high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF images. Word, PowerPoint or Canva designs can be used, but save them out as a full quality PDF where you can. Attach up to 3 files of up to 25 MB each on the product page, or order first and send them afterwards; we email you a link. Sizes for these cards go from A6 (105 × 148 mm) at the small end to A5 (148 × 210 mm), 2 in all.

Yes. Order printing with an online design and a full resolution PDF comes with it; after payment you can download it from your confirmation email or from My Account. Just want the file? Finish the design and buy the print-ready PDF on its own for £9.99. As digital content, it cannot be cancelled once the download begins. Make the artwork for these cards the same size as the one you order, such as A6 (105 × 148 mm).

Card thickness is shown as gsm, the weight in grams of one square metre, and more gsm means a sturdier card. Coated silk card gives crisp print; recycled, textured or uncoated cards have a softer, more natural feel and are nicer to write on. For Invitations the list runs 300gsm brown kraft, 350gsm recycled uncoated, 300gsm pearl, 300gsm smooth white card, 250gsm silk, 250gsm gloss or 350gsm silk card. Try each one on the page: the figure changes as you click, so the cost of every choice is clear.

A laminate is a very thin clear layer sealed over the print. Gloss gives richer, punchier colour; matt takes the shine away so photos and text are easier to read under lights; soft touch feels smooth, almost like velvet. Whichever you pick, the surface copes better with scuffs. For Invitations the list runs gloss, both sides; matt, both sides; or none. Try each one on the page: the figure changes as you click, so the cost of every choice is clear.

It sets which sides of the item get printed. For Invitations the list runs both sides or front only. Try each one on the page: the figure changes as you click, so the cost of every choice is clear. Still torn between two? Type the question into the box on this page and a person will reply.

You pay by debit or credit card when you check out, and you can do it as a guest without making an account. Card details are handled by Stripe, a specialist payment company, so the full card number never reaches us or sits on our system. Printing starts after payment goes through and your file has been checked. If your group needs a price agreed before anyone pays, ask for a quote instead. Sizes for these cards go from A6 (105 × 148 mm) at the small end to A5 (148 × 210 mm), 2 in all.

It depends on timing. Until production begins, a new file can replace the old one, or the order can be cancelled with a full refund; once it has begun, nothing can be changed. Message us straight away on the Contact page with your order number. Items printed exactly as supplied or designed do not count as faulty, so check names, numbers and dates first. Sizes for these cards go from A6 (105 × 148 mm) at the small end to A5 (148 × 210 mm), 2 in all.

Yes. There is a guest checkout, so a one-off order does not need a login. Payment is by debit or credit card, processed by Stripe. The confirmation email that follows lists everything bought and what was paid, which helps when you claim the money back from the group. What the page shows is what the group pays, plus any delivery. Sizes for these cards go from A6 (105 × 148 mm) at the small end to A5 (148 × 210 mm), 2 in all.

Every order gets a confirmation email listing what was bought, the options chosen and the amount paid, and a club, school or small firm can file that as its record of payment. What you pay for these cards is the price shown on the page plus any delivery charge, nothing more. If your accounts need a particular kind of invoice, ask through the Contact page before you order and we will tell you what we can provide. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each card is made to order for you. Before delivery, these cards cost from £25.85.

You deal with FatPrint the whole way through. Once you order, somebody checks the artwork, Invitations are printed specially for your order, and a courier delivers them with a tracking link by email. Need to ask something along the way? Use the question box here or the Contact page and a real person answers.

Not for a change of mind. These cards are made for your order, and goods made to your specification fall outside the 14-day cancellation right (reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). You can still cancel and get all your money back before production begins. Anything faulty, damaged or wrong is covered by the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and we reprint it or refund you. Before delivery, these cards cost from £25.85.

One checkout covers the lot. Add a basket line for every design, attach the right file to each, then pay once. You pay a single delivery charge of £7.95 for the whole order, or nothing if the goods add up to £100 or more. Repeating one design on another line? Choose the artwork choice that points to a file already in the basket, and no second design fee is charged. Sizes for these cards go from A6 (105 × 148 mm) at the small end to A5 (148 × 210 mm), 2 in all.

No. Guest checkout is fine, and card payments go through Stripe, so a debit card or a credit card both work. If you choose to open an account while checking out, My Account keeps your past orders and the print files of anything you designed online. Guest or not, you get an email confirming the order and another with tracking once it is sent. Sizes for these cards go from A6 (105 × 148 mm) at the small end to A5 (148 × 210 mm), 2 in all.

Our Get a quote page is the place, and it also handles delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands. For anything the page cannot do, tell us the size, number, material, date and postcode on Get a quote, add a file if you have one, and we email a price back. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each card is made to order for you. Sizes for these cards go from A6 (105 × 148 mm) at the small end to A5 (148 × 210 mm), 2 in all.

No. A person on our team checks every file for size, bleed and resolution and tells you in plain words if anything needs changing. The free online designer also warns you about small text and blurry images before you finish. Or pick typesetting for £15 and we lay out your words and logo for you, with a first draft and two rounds of changes. Make the artwork for these cards the same size as the one you order, such as A6 (105 × 148 mm).

It can. Choose double-sided printing and upload a two-page PDF, with the front as page one and the back as page two. The back is handy for a club's fixtures, a cafe menu, collection times or directions to a venue. In the online designer, switch between front and back as you work. If you have no file, you can build the design for these cards in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering. Sizes for these cards go from A6 (105 × 148 mm) at the small end to A5 (148 × 210 mm), 2 in all.

Very close, but not always identical. A screen glows, print reflects light, so a small difference is normal. Sending CMYK artwork keeps it nearest; RGB is changed to CMYK before printing and the brightest greens, blues and oranges can look a touch flatter. For an exact brand colour, give us the Pantone reference and we get as close as the material allows. Make the artwork for these cards the same size as the one you order, such as A6 (105 × 148 mm).

Yes. The online designer is free to use: start from a ready-made layout, swap in your wording and see exactly what will print. If you would rather hand it over, typesetting costs £15: send the words and a logo, and we set them out neatly, with one first draft and two rounds of changes. Either way, get someone else to read the names, dates and numbers before it goes to print. Sizes for these cards go from A6 (105 × 148 mm) at the small end to A5 (148 × 210 mm), 2 in all.

Spelling is the one thing it cannot judge, so read that yourself. It does catch placeholder words nobody changed, tiny lettering, anything drifting beyond the safe area or near the trim, blurry logos and photos, and objects covering words. Issues that would spoil the print stop you finishing until they are sorted; lighter warnings you may choose to accept. Make the artwork for these cards the same size as the one you order, such as A6 (105 × 148 mm).

Yes. The online designer is free to use, so you can build the design, look at it on screen and share it round before anyone commits. The preview carries a watermark on screen only; it never appears on the printed item. When everyone is happy, finish the design and order. What you see is what gets printed, so check names, dates and numbers together first. Make the artwork for these cards the same size as the one you order, such as A6 (105 × 148 mm).

Depends on the surface. Uncoated and textured cards are the friendliest for biros and fountain pens. Silk card takes a biro once the ink has dried; gloss and laminated finishes need a permanent pen and may still smear. Planning to write on the back, for example appointment times or a note? Leave that side without lamination. For these cards, the material can be 300gsm brown kraft, 350gsm recycled uncoated, 300gsm pearl, 300gsm smooth white card, 250gsm silk, 250gsm gloss or 350gsm silk card.

Flat, dry and dark is the rule. Leave them in their box, away from damp, direct sun and heaters. Damp paper curls and can jam a printer, while sunlight slowly fades the ink. Take a handful at a time and keep the rest boxed. For these cards, the material can be 300gsm brown kraft, 350gsm recycled uncoated, 300gsm pearl, 300gsm smooth white card, 250gsm silk, 250gsm gloss or 350gsm silk card.
