4. What are Calling Cards? Calling cards were traditionally used to leave messages for friends, long before the time of answering machines. In today's world, they are a stylish way of making your mark as a gift enclosure.

5. Are Envelopes included? Envelopes usually come with cards at no extra cost, but there are a few types of cards that do not come with envelopes. Some examples include reception cards that are part of a wedding invitation suite, postcards and recipe cards. Gift enclosures and calling cards vary, some manufacturers provide envelopes and some do not. Often envelopes are offered at a small cost if not included by the manufacturer.

6. What is a font? Font is a technical term meaning type of lettering style. The typestyle you choose can say a lot about your mood or tone for the correspondence. Some fonts convey a feeling of fun and are perfect for birth announcements or children's stationery. Other fonts are more serious or romantic and might be better suited for corporate cards or wedding invitations. TaylorPaige offers a wide selection of font styles from which to choose.

7. What is paper weight? In linens, you look for thread count, and in stationery, you look for paper weight and fiber content. For running off documents in your office, 20 to 40 lb. paper is standard. However, fine stationery requires a heavy feel and is usually printed on 80 to 100 lb. stock. In addition, papers come in a variety of fibers, most typically cotton, linen or wood based pulp. Cotton and linen papers tend to be the finest and most expensive. Digital photo cards are most often printed on 110 lb to 130 lb heavy cardstock. Most all of the other products offered thru TaylorPaige are printed on 80 to 100lb stock.

TaylorPaige categorizes paper weight as Light, Medium or Heavy. Light papers are equivalent to less than 80lb, medium papers are 80 to 100lb, and heavy papers are equivalent to greater than 100lb stock.

8. Why do ship times vary on products? Because TaylorPaige products are made by fine stationery designers across the country, the number of days that you will await your delivery varies. The estimate we include here refers to the number of business days between when your order is received by us and when we ship it. However, keep in mind that shipping itself takes some time, so order early to avoid getting caught in a bind.
