Wedding cards are the de rigueur of printing today. To do something with the good old invitation card, something that has not been done yet, needs both imagination and skill. Lustra Print Process, last year’s Screen Printer of the Year, has both in abundance. More than printing though, the Lustra samples boast innovative use of post-press. The ‘Goenka wedding card’ is a box containing a card and a book.

The company faced multiple challenges in the making of the card – from gold overprint to binding. There are also numerous pop-ups and cut-outs which had to be manually pasted. Finally, each product of the 400 run-length had to be checked individually for quality control. The highlights of ‘Jiwarajka wedding card’ include vivid orange with gold pattern on screen and a die-cut window to reveal layered laser-cut flowers. The individual layers were hand-pasted.

The ‘Jhunjhunwala wedding card’ has lot of manual fabrication.

The ‘Sanya Akshat engagement card’ comes with a dome-shaped box which adds to its elegance. The parts were laser-cut and were pasted manually with the help of foam to keep its three-dimensional visual features intact.
