We LOVE paper
Direct Importer
We import and stock in our Perth warehouse gorgeous paper and card from all around the world AND we're one of the last envelope manufacturers in Australia, the only one in Western Australia!
100+ colours
We've got 100+printable coloured card and paper stocks and 600+ envelope colours, styles and sizes. (Just so you know, paper weight is under 170gsm and card (board) weight is 170gsm and thicker).
Samples
We recommend ordering unprinted samples to help you feel the differences between textures, as well as compare colour options. It's tricky to see exactly what a colour looks like on screen.
Fancy finishes... letterpress, hot foil press & embossing!
You've probably seen invitations that have raised or impressed designs, or shimmering coloured foil and thought wow!
These stunning traditional printing techniques turn your design into tactile 3D gorgeousness!
Letterpress
Letterpress printing creates an impression into the card. This can be left 'blind' with no colour, or a Pantone ink fills the impression with a colour or your choice.
Hot Foil Press
Metallic coloured foil is applied to the surface of your card or paper using heat and pressure to produce a glamorous, reflective sheen.
Embossing
Card is pressed between two custom-made plates. Pressure pushes the paper fibres into the recessed plate, creating beautiful, permanently raised designs.
It's not difficult to set up your designs for letterpress, hot foil press and embossing correctly, but there's a few essentials to get right. Please follow our easy how-to guides to make sure your design is supplied correctly.
Texture Guide
If you haven't already, then purchasing our Peterkin Texture Guide is a great place to start your project. Feel the texture of our most popular card and paper ranges to discover which ones you love and work best with your design. There’s also our colour palette guide to over 100 printable colours, and eight fab samples showcasing digital CMYK colour, white ink and digital gold printing. PLUS, each sample has handy design tips on the reverse 😊.

Fast shipping, high quality work
"We used Peterkin for our wedding invitations. The printing came out so beautifully. We chose the Glamour Puss Milk Bath card and it was just so classic and elegant. The customer service team was so helpful and kind and the quality of the printing was flawless. Fast shipping and high quality work, would highly recommend."

Elegant, consistent and a quality finish
"We had our wedding invitations printed with Peterkin. If you think the pricing seems high, the product is well worth the cost. The prints were out of this world, elegant, consistent and a quality finish. Our invites were blind letterpress and foiled on the Cushion Divine Ivory 450gsm, and turned out better than we could have expected. Big recommend if you are serious about the quality in your printing product whatever it may be."

Out of this world printing quality
"We used Peterkin Printery for our wedding invitations, and everything has exceeded my expectations. Brittany, the Customer Happiness Manager really made me so so happy - she was extremely helpful, kind and patient on helping us amateurs. The pricing is very much worth it as the printing quality is just out of this world, you can really tell it's a quality print just by holding the paper and the ink finish. Would definitely recommend."

You guys made my order a priority!
"I was stressed the day before the wedding worried that I'd have no place cards or menus and as I research on Google, I found you guys! Your emailing and contact was impeccable! So quick and professional. Knowing I had only one day until the wedding you guys made my order a priority and printed super-fast. They came out absolutely INSANE!! My husband and I were so happy, I actually cried. I am writing to say THANK YOU SO MUCH. I still rave about my place cards and menus til this day and I don't think I'll stop. I have recomended you to so many people in the last month - friends, work friends and family! I know for a fact I'll be using you guys and ONLY you guys for my future event stationery. You have amazing staff and should be absolutely proud of the company you've built. I'm so grateful for your help."
