Custom Print Job Dimensions: No Job Too Oddly Sized or Shaped!

In the world of printing, not everything fits into a standard size. Sometimes, your vision goes beyond the usual, whether it’s a unique invitation, an eye-catching sign, or a creatively shaped brochure. That’s where custom print jobs come in – and here at our print shop, we’re ready for the challenge!

Why Custom Sizes Matter

Custom dimensions can truly set your project apart, offering a level of creativity and personalization that standard formats simply can’t achieve. Unique shapes and sizes aren’t just about making things look different; they allow for creative design expression that draws attention and leaves a lasting impression.

Whether you’re aiming to create a memorable mailer, a uniquely shaped invitation, or an eye-catching store display, a non-standard size or shape can make all the difference. Often, our customers come to us with specific needs for custom store displays, like signage that fits a particular wall or dimensions that fill a unique space. We love taking on these challenges, working closely with you to bring a concept to life that is tailored to your space, brand, and purpose.

From oversized banners to intricate die-cut shapes, we bring our expertise and advanced equipment to each custom project. So if you’re considering a print project that’s a little out of the box, we’re here to ensure it turns out beautifully. Don’t let an odd dimension or unconventional shape hold you back—reach out today, and let’s create something unforgettable!

Examples of Custom Projects

Invitations and Greeting Cards: Want to think outside the envelope? Unique shapes like circles, triangles, or intricate cut-out designs can bring a wow factor to any holiday card, wedding invite, or party invitation. Customizing even the envelopes can make a memorable first impression. If you have a vision for an envelope in a specific size, shape, or color, we can help you create it, matching your invitations perfectly.
Fold-Out Event Invitations: Tri-fold, accordion, or even hexagonal fold-out invitations add intrigue and surprise. Unusual shapes and extra thickness can give these pieces a luxurious, substantial feel for weddings, holiday parties, or corporate events.
Business Cards: Thicker, durable business cards instantly convey quality and professionalism, making them memorable to recipients. Going for an ultra-thick card stock, perhaps with layered or color-edged options, can set you apart and make a strong impression. Business cards shaped like products, logos, or industry symbols (like a wrench for a mechanic or a paintbrush for an artist) make a lasting impression.
Signage and Posters: Custom-sized posters or signs that fit unconventional spaces (think narrow columns, or archways) are ideal for exhibitions, events, or stores with non-traditional layouts. Maybe you have a display header that needs replaced, we can cut to fit your exact dimensions.
Business Collateral: Circular brochures, oversized or extra thick business cards, or pocket-sized catalogs can make a big impression and are perfect for brands wanting to add a unique touch to their materials.
Pop-Up Brochures: Pop-up elements bring a three-dimensional aspect to brochures, making them interactive and memorable. They work especially well for product promotions or experiential events where visual impact is key.
Packaging: Products with irregular shapes or limited space can benefit from custom-sized labels, boxes, and wraps that perfectly fit. Labels with custom shapes, like wavy edges or geometric designs, stand out on shelves. Heavy stock tags or packaging inserts for premium products can enhance the tactile experience of unboxing.
Unconventional Postcards: Think about oversized or circular postcards, or even postcards that open like a small booklet. Using thicker paper for added durability and tactile appeal, these unique designs ensure they don’t get lost in the mail.
Oversized Calendars: Wall calendars with extra-large dimensions or odd shapes (like circular or hexagonal months) make a bold statement, especially for promotional calendars or special-edition designs. Or small desktop calendars printed on thick card stock.
Door Hangers: For events, hotels, or retail settings, door hangers and hang tags in unique shapes (such as a keyhole shape or the outline of a product) add a fun, memorable twist. Thicker stock gives them a premium feel and makes them durable
Interactive Catalogs: Using different thicknesses for section dividers or including pull-out or fold-out sections brings catalogs to life. Interactive elements can make catalogs feel like an experience rather than just a reference.
Custom Coasters and Drink Menus: Uniquely shaped coasters or drink menus (e.g., in the shape of a cocktail glass or a brand logo) add personality to restaurants and events. Using durable, water-resistant stock gives them a premium, lasting appeal. Branded coasters are a useful promotional giveaway.
Boxed Stationery Sets: Premium stationery sets with varied thicknesses (like a combination of thick notecards and thinner envelopes) create a luxurious unboxing experience. Unique packaging shapes and compartments enhance the sense of quality.
Puzzle Piece Guide: A prayer guide designed as interconnected puzzle pieces can represent community, connection, and the power of prayer in bringing people together. Each piece could cover a specific prayer focus, encouraging readers to reflect on the unity of their faith journey.

Stand Out in the Stack: The Impact of Custom Thickness on Print Materials

Custom thickness can add an entirely new dimension to your printed pieces, creating a tactile experience that makes a big impact. Whether you’re looking for sturdy, heavyweight paper that conveys quality or ultra-thin stock for a lightweight design, custom thickness can enhance the look and feel of your project.

Here are a few ways custom thickness can elevate your print materials:

Business Cards: Thicker, durable business cards instantly convey quality and professionalism, making them memorable to recipients. Going for an ultra-thick card stock, perhaps with layered or color-edged options, can set you apart and make a strong impression.
Postcards and Invitations: For invitations and postcards, thicker paper can add a premium feel and make your piece stand out in the mail. Heavier stock is also less likely to bend or crease, ensuring your message arrives in perfect condition.
Brochures and Catalogs: Varying thickness for different sections of a brochure or catalog can create a unique, multi-dimensional experience. Thicker covers give a luxurious feel, while thinner pages inside keep it lightweight and easy to handle.
Signage and Displays: For store displays or signage, choosing a thicker, durable material can provide the strength needed to stand independently or withstand repeated use. Custom thickness ensures your display has the durability required while still looking polished and professional.
Product Packaging and Tags: Custom-thickness packaging can add a premium feel and help protect your product. For tags, choosing a thicker stock ensures they’ll hold up well even in high-traffic retail environments.
