Custom full-color printed cards and invitations by Aorai Pack, crafted from premium textured paper stocks with options for gold foil stamping, embossing, and edge painting to elevate your brand events and corporate greetings.
You know that feeling when you get an invitation that feels like it was printed on cheap office paper? It completely kills the vibe before the event even starts. We've seen it happen. A client spends thousands on venue decor, but the invite looks like a mass-produced flyer. Here's the thing: the card is the first physical touchpoint. If it doesn't feel right in the hand, people subconsciously downgrade the whole event. That's why we don't just print cards. We engineer heavy, textured, foil-stamped pieces that actually make people want to keep them on their fridge.
Key Features
Heavyweight Paper Stocks: We mostly use 300gsm to 600gsm paper. Why? Because flimsy cards feel cheap. Thicker stock holds up better in the mail and gives that satisfying snap when you open the envelope.
Precision Foil Stamping: Our hot foil stamping isn't just a surface print. It actually presses the metallic layer into the paper fibers. You get a crisp, reflective finish that doesn't flake off when you rub it.
Custom Edge Painting: This is a game-changer for luxury invites. We can paint the edges of thick cards in metallic or solid colors. It’s a subtle detail, but it screams premium.
Deep Embossing & Debossing: We can push the design into the paper or pull it out. It adds a tactile element. Just keep in mind, deep embossing works best on uncoated papers; coated stocks tend to crack if pushed too hard.
Envelope Matching & Kitting: We don't just hand you a stack of cards. We match them with custom-lined envelopes, add wax seals, and even kit them into mailers. It saves your team hours of tedious assembly.

Product Details
1. Custom Specification Options
Let's talk about what you can actually tweak. There's no one-size-fits-all here. You want a minimalist wedding invite? We'll go with a 400gsm cotton rag paper, blind debossing, and maybe a subtle edge paint. Need a high-energy product launch card? We'll use a bright coated stock with UV spot gloss and vibrant CMYK printing. Frankly, the finish dictates the vibe. We usually recommend uncoated papers for formal events because they feel more organic, but if your design has heavy photography, you'll need a coated finish to keep the colors sharp. It depends on your artwork.

3. Factory & Qualification Advantages
Look, printing is easy. Consistency at scale is hard. We’ve been running our factory for 37 years. We’re ISO 9001 certified and FSC certified, which matters if your brand has strict sustainability mandates. About 70% of our clients are repeat buyers because we don't mess around with color matching. If you approve a physical proof, the bulk run will match it. We also handle global shipping, so whether you need 500 cards in London or 50,000 in New York, we've got the logistics sorted.
FAQs
Can I get a physical proof before the full run?
Absolutely, and we highly recommend it for complex jobs. A digital PDF only tells you so much. Seeing the actual paper weight, feeling the foil, and checking the edge paint in person prevents 90% of the surprises. We usually charge a small fee for physical proofs, but we refund it if you proceed with the bulk order.
What's the minimum order quantity?
Our standard MOQ is 500 pieces. Look, setting up the presses and making the custom dies for foil stamping takes time and material. Going below 500 makes the per-unit cost skyrocket, which doesn't make sense for your budget. If you absolutely need fewer, we might be able to do digital foil, but the finish won't be quite as premium.
How long does production actually take?
Standard turnaround is 10-15 working days after you approve the physical proof. But here's the catch: if you add complex edge painting or multiple foil colors, add another 3-4 days. We'd rather take an extra day to get it right than rush and mess up the registration.
Can you match a specific Pantone color for the foil?
Yes, we can. But keep in mind that metallic foils have their own inherent reflectivity. A Pantone matte gold will look different than a Pantone glossy gold. We always suggest picking from our physical foil swatch book rather than just going by a digital color code.
Do you provide design services from scratch?
We don't do full graphic design from a blank canvas, but our pre-press team is incredibly hands-on. If you have a concept, we can build the dielines, suggest the right paper weight, and tweak your file for print. We usually recommend working with a freelance designer for the core artwork, and then we handle the print engineering.
What if the cards arrive damaged during shipping?
It's rare, but it happens. We pack everything in heavy-duty, water-resistant corrugated cartons. If the courier damages the box and the product inside, just send us photos within 48 hours of delivery. We’ll reprint the damaged portion at our cost and expedite the replacement.
Can I order envelopes separately or in different quantities?
Definitely. Sometimes clients order 1,000 cards but only need 500 envelopes because they're hand-delivering the rest. We can split the quantities. Just let us know your exact breakdown when you request the quote.
Is there a huge extra charge for foil stamping?
It's not a massive upcharge, but it's not free. You have to pay for the custom brass die and the metallic foil roll. Generally speaking, foil adds about 15-20% to the base printing cost. The good news? The die is yours. If you reorder the same design next year, you don't pay for the die again.
Can you do double-sided printing with foil on both sides?
We can, but we usually advise against it unless the paper is very thick (400gsm+). Pressing foil into both sides can cause the paper to warp or the foil to bleed through. If you really need double-sided foil, we'll bump up the paper weight to compensate.
How do you ensure color accuracy on the CMYK parts?
We use ICC profiles tailored to the specific paper stock you choose. Uncoated paper absorbs ink differently than coated paper, so the color profile shifts. We calibrate our presses daily and do a pull-sheet check during the run to ensure the colors stay locked in.
