Do you check our creations before printing?r
Each creation is carefully checked by our graphic design team.
When personalizing your invitation, our creative team systematically checks your design before printing, and also performs a check during the printing process to guarantee an optimal result.
If you wish, you can receive a digital proof (BAT) before production begins. Simply request it.
We recommend ordering a printed Sample delivered on an A4 sheet if you have any doubts about your layout.
For any specific request for layout, correction, or in-depth verification, you can use the text area titled "Leave a message or instructions for our graphic designer" on the personalization page. Our team will take into account each of your instructions before final validation.
