Bella Ink Offers Templates for Most Popular Design Sizes

Every so often we hear from customers who want to do their invitation or note card printing at home.  Until now, we haven't been able to provide much guidance beyond:

1. Measure your designs' margins, enter them into the program you're using.

2. Type up your event's important deets, or that monogram you've been dreaming about.

3. Print on plain paper first to make sure everything lines up correctly, then have it.

Bella Ink has hundreds of designs on offer, and it would be quite a task to create a template for each of them.  Luckily, we have a fabulous graphic designer in the studio who finally rolled up her sleeves and generated templates for three of our most popular design sizes.

On our At Home Printing Guidelines page, you'll find links to general templates for Folded Notes (4.25x5.5), #10-Size Invitations(4x9.25), and Half-Sheet Invitations (5.5x8.5).  Since each of our designs is unique, we still suggest printing on plain paper first to make sure everything lines up and stays clear of any patterns and/or icons.

Happy Printing!

Bella Ink Designs: Not Just for the Girls

Top: EF-153TY and EF-163TY.  Bottom: EF-167TY and EF-156TY.  Each of these designs is available blank for personalization (a name or monogram) or pre-printed with Thank You.

 

Some say Bella Ink isn't manly enough, but we beg to differ.  Real men wear pink, and a touch of that hue here and there surely wouldn't make them do a double take.  Not convinced?  The Fall/Winter 2014 notes featured here are a good bet for a variety of men, be they sports fans, boating enthusiasts, or card sharks.  And, there's not a trace of pink or burst of blossom anywhere to be found.

Top: EF-168TY and EF-146TY.  Bottom: EF-162TY and EF-116TY.  Each of these designs, except for EF-116TY, is also available blank for personalization (a name or monogram) or pre-printed with Thank You.  Please visit the website for a more accurate representation of the colors on these notes. 

Being the color often associated with royalty, purple may be a more approachable hue than pink.  Above are a couple of options featuring varied shades of purple, green and blue, including new designs EF-168TY and EF-162TY.   Each design works for those just graduating to those keeping in touch with the grand-kids from afar.  Business professionals may choose to keep a stash in their desks when the occasion calls for a quick but personal follow-up.

If you think he may be OK with pink after all?  EF-118 is a card featuring stripes in a variety of colors, including fuchsia, that still feels unisex.  This design is available blank for personalization or pre-printed with Thank You.

Bella Ink Designs can print any invitation or note card before it ships.  For more information, please visit our custom printing page HERE.  Bella Ink products may be purchased online at www.bellaink.com or through retailers nationwide.  To find a nearby retailer, please visit our Find A Store page.

NP-75 and EF-167 (Available blank for personalization or pre-printed with Thank You)  Please visit the website for a more accurate representation of the colors on the note cards featured here.

Note pads and notes make fabulous gifts for graduates, teachers, birthday gals, caretakers and more!  Each note pad in the Bella Ink line is padded with 50 fully lined sheets, printed front and back, giving the recipient more room for note-taking and list-making.

To find a nearby Bella Ink retailer, please visit our Find A Store page, or visit www.bellaink.com to order online!
