From Screen to Cardstock: Why PDF Export Quality Matters
A beautiful wedding invitation PDF can still print blurry if resolution, margins, or colour mode are wrong. Indian printers expect specific sizes and bleed areas — especially for gold and maroon designs.
Standard Print Sizes for Indian Wedding Cards
- A4 sheet — single large invite or folded card; common at local print shops.
- 5×7 inch (13×18 cm) — international standard pocket invite.
- Custom square folds — confirm template dimensions with printer before bulk order.
Resolution & Colour Settings
Target 300 DPI equivalent for text and borders. RGB files from screen design convert to CMYK at the printer — ask for a proof if reds look brown. Gold foil effects on screen may print as yellow unless using foil stamping.
| Paper Type | Best For |
|---|---|
| 250 GSM matte | Budget bulk printing, easy writing on RSVP cards |
| 300–350 GSM textured | Premium feel, royal maroon & gold designs |
| Metallic / pearl finish | Highlight mandala borders and couple names |
Home Printing vs Professional Press
Home colour printers suit 20–30 family copies. Orders above 100 should go to a wedding card vendor with lamination and cutting. Bring your print-ready marriage invitation PDF on USB and request one sample before the full run.
Also Share Digitally After Printing
Export PNG for WhatsApp the same day you print. Guests abroad often need digital first, print later — both formats are available from MyWedProfile after one design session.
