SUPPLYING YOUR EVENT DETAILS Submit your order via our shopping cart and make your payment. This confirms your order. Additional wording can be supplied electronically via email or MS Word document after you have placed your order. Any invitation wording can be changed to suit your taste, however the amount of wording used will be limited to the constraints of the design and approved at the discretion of The Belle Press. You will be asked to supply your guest list after you have approved your artwork proof. A guest list template will be emailed to you for you to fill out and send back to us so we can include the correct names and spelling.

COLOURS When viewing our designs on screen colours do vary depending on different monitors. We encourage you to purchase a sample pack so you can see for yourself the type of colours we work with. We have hand-selected the very best print suppliers around Australia to print our products who use top of the line printing press technology for all of our stationery .

PLEASE NOTE: The colours shown on our printed colour palette and in our samples are a guide to the shades we have available. Due to the variable nature of the digital printing process, these colours do shift between each print run, therefore an identical match to our printed colour palette that you have received as part of a sample pack may not be achieved.

This also means if you split your stationery order across 2 different print sessions eg, invitations and RSVPs' first, then 2 months later we print your menu's and favor tags, we can not guarantee that the colours will be identical between both runs.

CARD STOCKS We offer many different varieties of card stocks which are specifically suited to our different print methods. Ordering one of our very thorough sample packs will show you everything you need to see, feel and compare to make your decision on your stationery.

FONTS If you would like to change a font of any of our designs, we have a range of fonts to choose from. However, not all of our designs in our signature range will suit all of the fonts in our list. Each of our designs has been carefully chosen to suit the specific theme of the invitation. We will guide you towards making the right choice of replacement font and suggest other options from our list that will work best.

Please do not ask us for the name of the font we have used in your design. We do not disclose font types under any circumstances to protect our design work and further print revenue.

MAP ILLUSTRATION If you would like a map illustration created and included in your invitation you must supply us with a screen capture or website link of the venue that has a map for us to re-draw. You must highlight to us any specific landmarks or other information you would like included. Map artwork does incur a custom design fee. Please enquire regarding pricing on map illustration.

CUSTOM DESIGN Means an idea generated either by the client or a new concept created by The Belle Press based on a client specification. The custom design service works on a design fee and then a printing fee as per our printing price structure in the online store. Request a quote for any custom design idea you have in mind. Any custom design project follows the same terms and conditions outlined in this document.

**PLEASE NOTE** The custom design fee covers our design time only. This fee does not entitle you to receive any finished artwork file that we may have created for you. If you require the print ready or high res files also, please discuss your needs with us prior to paying for your custom design as this is not always possible.

ANY DESIGN THE BELLE PRESS CREATES FOR YOU REMAINS THE SOLE PROPERTY OF THE BELLE PRESS.

The custom design fee entitles the customer to 2 rounds of changes to their proof. Further rounds of changes will be charged out accordingly. Please take the time to check over your proof thoroughly and return any changes in 1 email as this is counted as your first round of changes. We do encourage you to send us as a very clear brief, as much detail, imagery, font and colour ideas as possible so we can nail your design right from the out-set and save you additional rounds of changes.

PROOFING You will receive an emailed proof of your design within 48 hours of placing your order. You will need to check this proof carefully for any errors or changes you'd like to make. Let us know of any changes at this point. You are entitled to 3 rounds of changes. If your proof requires more changes than this, you will be charged an extra $45 per round of changes which is to be paid before we complete your artwork. You will then be asked to send an approval email which effectively allows us to send your artwork to print. Thoroughly check your proof when you receive it.

ERROR The Belle Press cannot be held responsible for any typing errors noticed after the proofs have been approved. Any amendments made after approval and printing will incur an extra charge. Please notify The Belle Press immediately if you notice any errors on your stationery once you have received it. If any errors do occur after approval that differ from your approved artwork, your order will be corrected, printed and delivered at no charge. Client error after the proof has been approved can be reprinted at the clients expense. The re-print will be placed in the print cue at the time of second approval and will not be prioritised over other customer orders if the client is at fault.
