Choosing your stationery can be tricky with so many beautiful options available. Ordering a sample is the perfect way to see the quality, colours, size, and finish in person before deciding. Each piece is hand-pressed with real foil, giving a tactile, luxurious feel that instantly stands out.
A generic/non-personalised sample is to show you the size, quality, style, and colour of your chosen invitation. We do not personalise them in any way. We do not keep all variations in stock so you will receive the invite of your choice, or the nearest available, plus swatches of your chosen foil & card colour. Please add a note if you’d like to see more than one additional foil/card colour. We’ll dispatch your sample as soon as possible, usually within 1 or 2 working days.
Full Foil versus Foil & Print Full Foil means we create a single plate with the entire design and text on. The whole of the card is pressed with foil. There is no restriction to the card colour, but it is not possible to have guest names or other variations on them as a plate would need to be made for each one.
Foil & Print means we combine the two. We can print things like guest names or other variations. Any foiling is pressed using a plate and cannot vary. We can only print onto a pale background and onto a maximum of 350gsm. You cannot have foil & print on forest green, navy blue, or black for example as the print would not show up.
Personalised Samples: Due to the high cost of producing small quantities, printed personalised samples are not available. As an alternative, we recommend purchasing both a printed Generic Sample and an Electronic Sample (contact us at contact@vintageprints.co.uk if you’d like to order an Electronic Sample).
Card Colours There are many different card colours available aside from those shown on this listing, but we do not hold them all in stock. When placing a full order of personalised cards, you can let us know what colour you are looking for and we’ll be happy to see what’s available at the time.

With this listing, you’ll receive a generic foil press invitation sample to help you see the quality of our printing and card stocks in person. You can choose your preferred foil colour and card colour, and if we don’t already have that exact combination foil-pressed, we’ll include the closest available samples so that you can see each of your chosen colours in real life. The invitation design will be chosen at random, purely to showcase the finish and quality.
