  • PDF Download Wedding Invitation Handbook
    WEDDING INVITATION HANDBOOK: WORDING, DESIGN, PRINTING PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Julie Holcomb | 144 pages | 15 Oct 2018 | Schiffer Publishing Ltd | 9780764356100 | English | Atglen, United States Wedding Invitation Handbook: Wording, Design, Printing PDF Book This option works very well for both. There are 11 references cited in this article, which can be found at the bottom of the page. Evaluate the cost of the printer ink for your home printer compared to having the invitations printed at a local print shop. Julie Holcomb has been practicing the craft of letterpress printing for more than 35 years. Choose Your Envelopes Of course, you'll need envelopes to put those beautiful invitations in once all of that printing is said and done. Ink tips: Inkless embossing or blind embossing is a popular choice for a delicate touch. OK, got it. Envelope liners are also a great way to dress up your invitations, whether you use metallic paper or a patterned option. We offer a great range of gsm envelopes to accompany your invitations and RSVP cards. Make sure to do a test print to ensure the design comes out the way you want it before you print on all your invitations. Online options such as Minted , Shutterfly , and Zazzle offer gorgeous invitation templates at affordable prices and discount codes, too! Paper pointers: Embossing is typically done on thicker paper stock like cotton fiber so the designs show up with crisp lines and impressions. Turnaround time: It's the least expensive and fastest printing option, requiring just a few days for production and shipping. Consider the line spacing.

  • 2016 ANNUAL REPORT February 13, 2017
    2016 ANNUAL REPORT February 13, 2017 Dear Shutterfly Shareholders, Joining Shutterfly 10 months ago was an easy decision. Shutterfly’s market-leading position, beloved brand, loyal customers, vertical integration, consumer technology, and dedicated team give us a strong base from which to build. At the same time, the explosion of digital photography, the increasing desire for personalization and individual expression, and rapid advances in digital manufacturing technology present a large opportunity that we are uniquely positioned to address. As we consider our opportunities, we’ve established a few principles to guide our thinking: innovate on behalf of customers, delivering great experiences; focus on a small number of high-potential opportunities; optimize for the long-term; and seek sustainable growth balanced with profitability. With these principles firmly in mind, we announced important changes to the business at the beginning of 2017. We are significantly simplifying our Consumer business as the first step in a longer-term strategy: focusing our resources on four high-potential areas of opportunity, reducing overhead costs, consolidating our Consumer businesses onto a single platform, and setting ourselves up both to deliver greater profitability and to re-invest in the business for future growth. Going forward, our Consumer vision is to help people share life’s joy by being the leading online retailer and manufacturer of high-quality personalized products, complemented by our Enterprise vision of being the leading digital manufacturing platform for business. Our strategy for the next three to five years, supporting that vision, has four components: (1) make purchasing personalized products simple, (2) expand our range of categories and products, (3) pivot towards mobile, and (4) leverage our manufacturing platform.

  • Doing Business with Gpo
    DOING BUSINESS WITH GPO Customer Handbook EFFECTIVE JULY 2019 (Rev. 3-2020) GPO Publication 350.1. This handbook supersedes the formerly published Agency Procedural Handbook. The projects above were designed by GPO Creative Services and printed for our agency customers through GPO Agency Procurement Services. MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Our Federal Agency Customers: Since Abraham Lincoln took the oath of office to become the 16th President of the United States on this day 159 years ago, the U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) has been open for business. From that day forward we have met the printing and publishing needs of our customers by embracing new technologies and partnerships when we needed to. During the 1940s, GPO created our print procurement program to meet the needs of you, our Federal agency customers. This long-standing partnership with the private sector printing industry continues to thrive today by providing benefits for Federal agencies and the American taxpayer. Private sector firms perform nearly 78 percent of all printing ordered by Federal agencies under contracts managed by GPO. Nearly 10,000 firms compete to be one of our 2,000 firms annually that perform work for our Federal partners. This program has been shown to be the most cost-effective use of Federal agency printing dollars according to studies by both the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the Joint Committee on Printing. Federal agencies realize significant savings by using GPO, as compared to printing products themselves. In addition, when agencies use GPO, their information products are made available to the public through GPO’s Federal Depository Library and Publications and Information Sales programs.
