Initial Consultation and Design Planning
The best money packet printing suppliers will carry out an initial consultation at the very beginning of the process. Here, you’ll discuss what you need - whether it’s for an occasion, what type of designs you like, the quantity, your budget and deadlines. A number of suppliers offer in-house design services, or you can supply your own artwork. You need to have a vision clear idea of how your design should look like such as colour, themes, logos, any text.
Material and Size Options
You get money packets in different sizes and materials. Most inserts will fit standard size bills but custom sizes are often available. This is where you can select the type of paper you would like your prints to be printed on (glossy, matte, textured, specialty papers, etc.), Certain suppliers may even provide greener choices. And you’ll choose finishes: embossing, foil stamping, UV coating, even die-cut shapes, which add a premium touch to the packets.
Carefully reviewing and approving any proofs or samples
The supplier will send a digital proof or a physical sample of the money packet before printing. Review this proof thoroughly. Proof for design integrity, colour accuracy, and text placement. If all looks okay, this is your chance to spot any issues before mass production. After the design is approved, we will start the printing process.
Production Timeline (For How Long You Need)
Production timelines range from designs that are simple to approximate and require some accuracy from the order quantity, and suppliers’ capabilities. Typically, production ranges from a few days to a few weeks. Ensure to consider this timeline, particularly if the envelopes for dancing money need to be received by a certain date for an occasion. If you’re on a tight timeline, some suppliers offer rush services for an extra fee.
