Cheap Laser Cut Cards / Details Printing

Calculator Size options are 5x7 inches for standard invitation envelopes, 4x6 for compact detail and insert cards, and 4.25x5.5 for A2-format programs. Laser-cut borders may extend visual size beyond trim; note whether cut art is inset or edge-aligned in comments. We confirm trimmed dimensions and envelope fit on the proof before production.

Stock options are Matte for clean lace-cut edges on garden and rustic suites, Pearl for shimmer visible through cut windows on formal events, and Foil-Stamped for metallic accent paired with cut reveal layers. Heavier matte and pearl stocks cut intricate patterns more cleanly than thin text weight. Note foil zone placement separate from cut paths in comments.

Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval. Rush 2 to 3 business days and Next-Day tiers appear when eligible for your qty and cut complexity. Intricate full-border lace patterns may need the full standard window. Approval day is not counted as day one.

Yes, always. We email a digital proof showing print art, laser-cut path registration, stock finish, and foil zone clearance before anything prints or cuts. Cut-detail cards need separate review of cut lines vs print art so type does not sit under bridge areas that break during cutting.

Vector PDF with print art on one layer and cut paths on a separate labeled layer is ideal for laser cut invitation cards. AI or EPS with hairline cut strokes at 0.25 pt works when exported cleanly. High-res PNG suits photo print panels when cut paths are sent separately. Free Design Setup can place art on calculator size templates.

For your Laser Cut Cards / Details job, minimums and volume breaks are shown as 25 through 1,000.

Contact support the same business day if you need help choosing specs before you approve the proof.

We print and laser cut in Florida and ship to all 50 states. Enter your zip code during checkout for live ground and expedited rates after production. Cards ship flat in protective packs to prevent cut-edge snagging in transit.

Add 0.125 inch bleed on print art past trim. Keep names, dates, and critical type at least 0.125 inch inside the safe line from trim and at least 0.25 inch from cut path bridges that connect inner window art to the outer card edge. We flag type sitting under narrow cut bridges on the proof.

Couples and event planners ask whether laser cut is included in calculator price, which stock cuts cleanest for lace borders, and how to send cut files. Describe laser-cut detail in special instructions; upload cut layer when ready. We confirm stock vs pattern complexity on the proof and note any prep fee for novel cut geometry upfront.

First-time buyers merge cut and print onto one layer so prepress cannot separate paths. Others place guest names under lace bridges too narrow to survive cutting. Upload cut lines on a dedicated layer with bridge width noted. We flag fragile cut zones and suggest inset adjustments on the proof.

Start with 4x6 Matte, Single-Sided, Standard turnaround at qty 25 for a cut-pattern sample before committing to a full 5x7 double-sided guest list run. Smaller size and matte stock keep sample cost lower while you validate lace detail with the client. Reorder 5x7 Pearl at 100 once the cut pattern is approved.

Yes on qualifying orders. Free Design Setup covers art placement on calculator size templates, bleed, and basic cut-path review at no separate design fee. Send invitation art and describe desired cut pattern in comments. Novel intricate cut geometry outside standard templates may need extra prep time quoted upfront.

No hidden plate fees on standard invitation print orders. Extensive custom cut-path engineering beyond uploaded vector art may carry a quoted prep fee noted before order placement. Calculator total covers print specs and selected shipping tier; cut complexity is scoped in special instructions.

Production time covers printing, laser cutting, QC on cut registration, and pack after proof approval. Shipping time is carrier transit after scan from Florida. A 3-day production tier plus 3-day ground shipping totals 6 calendar days minimum after approval, not 3.

PDF, AI, EPS, PNG, and JPG uploads accepted. PDF with separate cut layer is best. PNG at 300 dpi works for photo invitations when cut paths are vector separately. Free Design Setup converts common formats to print-ready layouts on calculator sizes.

We price invitation print competitively through direct production. Send a comparable itemized quote when size, stock, sides, qty, and cut complexity match. Live calculator totals show print cost; cut detail scope is confirmed on the proof.
