Why Select Checkerboard Papers? The Checkerboard Difference
Here at Checkerboard, we do things a little differently than other invitation printers. We are 100% committed to your satisfaction, and we truly believe in the quality of our product. From our exceptional customer service to our high-quality papers, we do everything for one reason only, because your name is on every card.
Workmanship Above All Else
We treat your invitations as if they were our own.
At Checkerboard, your entire order is printed from beginning to end by a single craftsperson on a single press, assuring you of high quality and a perfect color match from piece to piece.
Other printers will split up your order and run it on different presses because it's cheaper. Consequently, your invitations, reply cards and envelopes may not be printed together. This can result in inconsistent quality and mismatched colors.
Each department that helps with your order inspects its own work. Our quality control experts perform a final inspection of your invitation for accuracy, completeness, color matching, and overall excellence. We won't send them to you if we wouldn't send them ourselves!
We take recycling one step further
We take extra measures to minimize our impact on the environment. Checkerboard uses sophisticated pre-press technology that significantly reduces the waste stream generated by traditional printing methods. We also adhere to a strict in-plant recycling program. The only thing we spill into the environment is our genuine concern for it.
Our commitment to excellence means value for you
Our progressive, quality-focused operations create savings for us that we can pass directly to you. You can see this in the superior quality papers we use. Just compare our thick, luxurious papers to other brands. You'll see and feel the difference immediately. Checkerboard gives you more, and you don't have to pay more.
