General FAQS

What's so special about letterpress printing?
Letterpress printing is a craft - lovingly practiced by artisans. At Page, each piece of paper is hand-fed through an antique letterpress printer, which allows for the unique look and character of our products. It is a meticulous, finicky, and at times, pain-staking process, but the result is a thing of beauty. And this is why even though letterpress is the oldest form of printing available, we are thrilled to find it still - alive and kicking.

What kind of papers do you use?
We use many different papers from commercial papers made in the US to cotton/linen papers that come from the oldest paper mills in Europe.

How green are you?
Page believes in preserving the environment. We use soy based inks (if available) and photopolymer plates to print on a wide variety of papers that come from environmentally conscious paper mills. We recycle all our paper waste to the best of our ability.

Where can I buy Page products?
We can be found at some of the finest stationery stores in the country. Please visit our dealer locator to find a store near you. If you can’t find a store near you, please visit our everyday shop or call us directly to discuss a custom order (866-540-7243).

Custom Order FAQS



How do I place a custom order?
While we prefer that you use one of our exclusive retailers (see dealer directory), we realize this may not be convenient for all shoppers. If you need to place an order directly with us, please contact us at 866-540-7243.
We have broken the process into four easy steps outlined below.

step 1: order samples
While we have tried our best to show the beauty of our work through our website, nothing can compare with the real thing. When you order a sample kit, you will receive up to three designs of your choice, along with other complimentary design element libraries (font, ink, motif and liner choices), pricing, order form and contract.
Sample kits are available in the following categories:
wedding ($25. + shipping)
baby ($15. + shipping)
personal stationery ($15. + shipping)
holiday ($15. + shipping).
The cost for the sample kit (minus shipping) will be deducted from your final invoice if you place a custom order.

step 2: place a custom order
Once you have your samples and have made all the important design decisions, please contact us at 866-540-7243 so we can walk you through the ordering process. Make sure you have completed your order form entirely, so the process can go quickly and smoothly. Once we have your order, we will email you a wording form, contract and an invoice (50% non-refundable deposit). When you have returned the wording form, signed contract and 50% deposit, the proof process can begin.

step 3: proof process and approval
Once we receive your wording form, signed contract and 50% deposit, we will provide you with an emailed pdf proof of your order. Check your proofs carefully and email back with changes/edits.
The initial proof and one round of corrections are free of charge. Each round thereafter is a $30 fee. When you are ready to approve, please print out each page of your proof, initial each page and fax back to us at (804) 784-2297. We will email you to let you know we received the approval and give you an approximate ship date.

Remember, we print directly from the approved proof. Page Stationery is not responsible for typographical or design errors that you have approved. Page will not incur the cost of reprinting and shipping orders due to these errors, nor will a refund be issued. Once an order is approved, changes cannot be made without incurring additional fees, and cancellations cannot be accepted.

**Final payment of your invoice must be made at this time in order to proceed to the printing stage.

step 4: printing and shipping From proof approval and receipt of final payment, we need 7-10 business days to print your order.
We ship UPS ground unless specified otherwise.
Exact shipping fee + $5. handling fee will be added to your order.


What is the turnaround time for a custom order?
Generally, it takes us about 7-10 business days from proof approval to complete a custom order. Keep in mind, that does not include shipping or proofing time.

If you are looking for something very specific - maybe you want the ink color on your invitations to match the color of your bridesmaids dresses, or you want a flower motif that looks like the flowers you'll be carrying in your bouquet - we can do that too, but it'll cost you a little extra.

Thanks so much for offering the wedding invitation giveaway! I am so pleased how the invitations came out- the paper is great and the letterpress looks wonderful, and I love that you were able to work with our graphic. Thank you for enabling us to add this great detail to our wedding. Kate
On behalf of everyone...thank you so very much for your dedication and attention to our order. Because of your willingness to be flexible and accommodating to both us and our customer, the order was a complete success! We are extremely appreciative and thank you for producing such a beautiful product.
...I so appreciate your quick response to our "wedding crisis" we only delayed the invitation receipt to our guest by one week...your personal appearance at my door accompanied by your precious daughter made me realize that I still had the best professional working for me! C
How? How? How? do you keep coming up with such amazing stuff? I am in love! Thank you so much for doing these...I am in love with your work! J. Lucas
It's unbelievable, I am still getting calls about about how much people love these cards! A customer for six years and these are best Christmas cards to date! E. Hickey
P.S. I recently ordered my son's birth announcements and have received endless comments on how beautiful they are...THANK YOU! H. Stout
Wow, My stationery turned out so nice!! Fast and friendly customer service! L. Johnson
Thank you for your excellent and reliable service. My stationery product is beautiful and the paper quality is excellent! E. Tuff
I have used Page Stationery for numerous special occasions and have never been disappointed. The quality and workmanship that goes into each invitation is remarkable. Page Stationery has helped make our memories special. L. Dinerstein
I've gotten so many compliments on my Christmas cards this year! Sue did an excellent job from helping me decide the design of the card to delivering a beautiful, quality product that I was proud to send out. I will most definitely be using Page Stationery again. S. McCullen
I have used Page Stationery for virtually every major event in my life in the past decade, starting with the "save the date" for my wedding on through my wedding invitations, birth announcements, and family Holiday cards. I've even used Page for coasters emblazoned with a corporate logo for a work event I hosted. I have been thrilled with the quality and the overall experience on every occasion. Page produces a top-of-the-line product that is unique without being trendy. Every time I send out a card or announcement, I have multiple people tell me that it is the nicest they have ever received. I give Page Stationery my highest recommendation. M. Surrick
I can't say enough about how great Page is. They did all the printed materials for our wedding, our note cards, a moving announcement, our daughter's birth announcement AND we got one of those great t-shirts with the "1" on them for her first birthday . Not only is the design beautiful--we always get a million compliments!--but everything is the highest quality and "dealing" with Page is always a pleasure. Thanks for all you do!
If I had a dollar for every compliment we received on our wedding invitations, we could retire to our own private island. Thanks Page for doing such a beautiful job.
I am not sure which got more ohhhhs and ahhhhs from our friends and family: our daughter's birth announcement or the photo we included with it. Thanks for making such beautiful cards. They're a pleasure to send.
We recently bought one of your little t-shirts for our daughter's first birthday, which we celebrated on Nantucket. Everywhere we went that day, we got compliments and happy birthday wishes. Thanks for helping to make a special day even more special.
Page combines elegant design with the highest quality paper and top-notch service for printed materials that are to-die for. Truly special!
I know for a fact I'm not the only one who saved my wedding invitation! Thanks for your beautiful work. And for making the whole thing so EASY! Your understated elegance set the tone for our whole event. Perfect in every way. Amazing attention to detail. Incredible paper. Beautiful ink colors. Thanks so much!
We've ordered many pieces from Page. Wedding invitations, social stationery, birth announcements, Holiday cards, children's T-shirts...everything! Each piece was well designed, easy to order and delivered on time. In every way, Page and the creative, competent people who work there exceeded my (sometimes too high) expectations. It's nice to know there are still some remaining small family operated businesses in the US able to flourish with an affordable, high quality product based on a historic medium like letterpress. Good for Page! L. Warner
I have just looked at the cards and they are wonderful. Exactly what we had in mind, excellent quality and a fair price. Many thanks for your attention to me during this process I felt like a valued customer. Kind regards and best wishes,GS
