Poly Graphics

When ordering invitations from Poly Graphics you have a choice of two different types of paper.

Our normal smooth paper or our linen paper.

These photos give you an idea of what the texture is like for each of these types of paper. These are zoomed-in photos – the smooth is much smoother to the touch than this photo looks. And the linen paper has the “woven” look that you see here, but the weave is not as big as it looks in this photo.

The linen paper is nice, has a nice feel, and comes with matching envelopes. Linen invitations and linen note cards cost 10% more than smooth invitations and smooth note cards. The linen paper and linen envelopes cost more to stock, that’s the reason for the 10% upcharge.

Each type of paper is also available in white or ivory (off-white, or natural) colors.

Let us know which you like best for your invitation order.

P.S. The linen paper works great for both formal invitations and informal invitations. We’ve done kids laser tag party invitations on linen paper and they look great.

Fast & Fully Custom Graduation Invitations

Do you want your invitations blank?  With no wording?

We can do that – just don’t put any wording in the “wording” field on the order form at PolyGraphics.com. Or just put “no wording” as the wording.

We will apply a 10% discount to your order if you request no wording.

But, first, let me try to talk you out of it.

Are you worried about how long it will take your order to get to you?

We’ve got some really fast options for you:

1) With a RUSH option we print and ship the same day (M-F, orders placed before 10am Eastern U.S. time), or next day (Sun-Thur, orders placed after 10am Eastern US time). [Typical total time between order and ship - less than 30 hours]

2) Our normal process – within 24 hours (M-F) your order is posted for your review. When we receive your approval we print and ship the next business day, where a business day is Mon-Fri. [Typical total time between order and ship - less than 72 hours]

3) Are you sure about your wording? Order with No Draft. We’ll prepare and ship your order the next business day. [Typical total time between order and ship - less than 48 hours]

Are you not sure about your party details?

Review the list above – we prepare and ship your order very quickly. If you order before you know all the details, then let us know what to add or change, we’ll have a draft prepared and your order printed and shipped speedily.

Can your printer print on heavy card stock?

Our standard invitation is 5″ x 7″ on 80lb cover paper. This paper is heavy, like an index card or business card, and may not go through your printer. Also, your printer is probably optimized for 8 1/2″ x 11″ 20lb office paper. Can it handle the size and weight of an invitation?

Worried that we won’t get the wording right?

The draft process at PolyGraphics is designed to assure you that what you requested and what you see is as close as possible to what you will get. You’ll love to see and be able to comment about your order when you review the design we’ve prepared for you.

Yes, you can order your invitations blank. But do you want to?

Looking forward to serving you,

P.S. Just today we had a customer tell us ‘I like this “proof” process!‘ (thanks Joe!)

P.P.S. Want more information about the paper that we use? See my previous post about paper weight.

Poly Graphics had our first sale 15 years ago today – on April 26th, 1995.

15 years ago the internet was just a blip.

We had no website then. We worked at local craft shows and fairs. Hours in the booth were tedious. And a burst of wind or rain could ruin our entire day.

Since nearly everything Poly Graphics sells is custom printed for you – with your choice of design, wording, and colors, we didn’t have much to sell at a craft show at first. We pre-printed a few things, but mostly we passed out catalogs and hoped for orders to come in later.

A couple of years later we purchased the domain PolyGraphics.com and put our ever-changing catalog of designs on the internet – things began to really pick up.

What started as a dream has now become our way of making a living.

We appreciate you and all our customers for allowing us to have a small part of your celebrations, for keeping us busy designing new invitations, and for helping us keep our service and selection unique and pleasing.

Thank You for your orders and allowing us to keep our dream alive,

P.S. Woooo Hoo!

P.P.S. If you want to read a little more about how we started, see The Poly Graphics Story

First in a series of videos to help you see what we do and how to purchase custom printed invitations from PolyGraphics.com

How To Order From Poly Graphics

In a little over 3 minutes you can order a fully customized invitation from Poly Graphics. Note that after you confirm your order an email is sent to you summarizing your order. Confirming your order also starts the draft clock – we’ll prepare a draft for you within 24 business hours. Use the order number you receive in your email and on the Thank You page to go back to PolyGraphics.com to review the draft.

We’ll have more videos available in the future to help you.

Thanks for watching.

We don’t intentionally make mistakes – we try our best to do everything perfectly. But we mess up. We’re human.

The people who work at Poly Graphics make mistakes. Despite the many checks and proofs that we make on each and every order we prepare, occasionally one gets through. We accidentally ship an order with a problem.

When we make mistakes we fix them. As soon as we can.

We shipped an order last week that had a correction on it that was missed. The invitations did not look like the invitations that our customer approved on our online draft page. When the customer received the box she let us know that they were not what she ordered. Without hesitation we shipped out replacement invitations that were triple checked for accuracy to exactly match the approved draft. We apologized for the mistake but corrected it as soon as we could. It cost us extra to print, proof, and ship again. But we got that order right.

Poly Graphics has a No Mistake Guarantee. If we mess up we will fix it.

I hope we don’t mess your card order up. But be assured that we will get it right. Even if it takes shipping a replacement.

Have you ever bought anything from someone you don’t trust?

Did it go OK if you went ahead and bought?

Establishing trust is difficult online. Almost anyone can put a web site together that sells products.

There are several things that  a web site can include to establish trust.

- Membership in Business Organizations (Better Business Bureau, Chamber of Commerce, etc)

- A track record showing how long the company has been online and in business

- Testimonials from satisfied customers

- Trust Marks… those logos on a web site that say that the site is secure, your data is secure, that your data is passed through the internet securely.

- Believable products. Some demonstration of the products that are sold on the web site and proof that the people behind the web site can deliver the product desired.

Can you think of others?

Integrity is a big part of Poly Graphics. Allow us to show you that we can create a great custom card for your event. Allow us to show you that we really do what we say we can do. We would be honored to have the opportunity.

Poly Graphics creates fully customizable invitations for you.

“Fully customizable invitations” means that you can change anything.

We start with a blank card. There are no graphics, no colors, and no wording. We will modify the design, colors, and wording to your specifications.

Want it red?  We’ll make it red!

Want it smaller and in the corner? OK, we’ll do that for you.

Want a different type style? Mixed colors in the wording? – Yes, we can accommodate you.

Special Instructions on the Poly Graphics Order Form

Please use the special instructions section of the Poly Graphics order form to tell us your desires. We’ll do our best to take the design you’ve chosen, take your special instructions, and create the card that you want. We will prepare a draft for you to review online before we print. If what we’ve created doesn’t match with what you requested, we will correct it. We won’t print until we get your approval.

U.S. State Moving Announcement for Georgia

For example, notice that on our U.S. State moving announcements we place the city or town that you are moving to on the map of the state. If your location is under a graphic that we’ve placed on the sample, we move the graphic around so that we can see your town’s location.

Fully customizable cards are what you get from Poly Graphics.
