Step-By-Step: How to Print Your Own Decorations
1. Choosing the Right Material
Depending on the decoration type, choose:
- Cardstock (250–350gsm) for ornaments and tags
- Vinyl sheets for window decals
- Recycled kraft stock for rustic décor
- Glossy sheets for high-shine festive designs
To help decide, we offer premium sample packs, which allow you to see, touch and feel a variety of our most popular stocks before ordering. If you’re a business, upload your artwork to help visualise how your next festive project could look.
2. Design with Print Quality in Mind
Use clear, bold colours and high-resolution imagery, especially for:
- Reds and greens (which can saturate differently on paper)
- Metallic effects (often achieved via gradients or foil overlays)
3. Use the Correct Printing Settings
- Use high-quality or photo settings for decoration pieces
- Allow the ink to dry fully before cutting
- Print test sheets first to avoid wasting materials
4. Finishing Touches
You can add:
- Lamination for long-lasting pieces
- Foil finishing (specialist)
- Eco-friendly alternatives
- Mounting to the board for rigidity
Eco-Friendly Christmas Printing Tips
With sustainability at the heart of many modern Christmas campaigns:
- Choose recycled or FSC-certified papers
- Avoid plastic lamination where possible
- Use plant-based inks
