Wedding used to be grand, elegant and really expensive. Most of the time, almost the entire earnings of the couple for the past few years or so would all be spent on a one memorable night when they would start a new chapter in life, together. It is that one magical night when they would declare their love for each other in front of the people they love and tie the knot of marriage. With all of these being said about this wonderful occasion, do you think spending that much money is all worth it?
Truth be told, I don’t think so. I have attended so many weddings in the past and I could say that the true worth of the wedding is neither measured in the elite wedding venue that you rented nor in the high class wedding caterer that you got for your big day. It’s a little more than that. I have attended low-budget weddings. The ones that is simple and a little less extravagant. But equally, they are all memorable and something that is really romantic.
With that, I think it is just right that couple would now go low and slow for the wedding and save the money for their future instead. Rather than spending lots of money to your big day, having a simple wedding is wiser and more practical that way. The best way to start your practical yet equally memorable and romantic wedding is through the wedding invitations.
The wedding invitation is the soul of your big day. Could you imagine your wedding without the special people in your life would show up and and share with you this momentous occasion with you? Of course not, right? Wedding invitations are often the first thing that a couple who are planning to get married should plan and settle. It is advisable that these invitations should be send out early to make sure that the special people in your lives would be properly notified and they would reserve that day for you.
But then again, since we are in the process of reducing the cost of our wedding day, we would need some tips on an affordable wedding invitation. The secret to a beautiful and classy-looking wedding invitation lies in choosing the right paper and investing on the design that you would use.
It is also important that you also consider the printing quality of your printer when conceptualizing a design. If your printer is not capable of printing high quality colored images, then you might want to go sophisticated in black and white. Check too, if the paper that you would be using is compatible to the printer. You may have a good output when you have it printed in a bond paper but printing it on a specialized paper with a different texture may be a lot different.

Paper Bills
Bills are one of the letters that we usually receive everyday. It is the kind of letter that we often find ourselves to recent receiving such kind of paper. Most of us would just throw it directly or even tear it into pieces when we are all furious if it happened to arrive at a wrong time. Such consumer behavior is one reason why some people are suggesting totally eradicate paper-based billing and simply send the bills electronically, through email or through any other virtual medium.
The topic on paper-based billing has always been one of the many simple yet very debatable topics not only in the country, but in the whole world as well. It might be appear to be simple but if you would really delve on the matter on hand, you would realize that there are many implications on choosing as to whether we should opt for paper bills or paper less billing, For most of us, we could hardly picture the gravity of the situation since we are unaware of bothe the direct and indirect costs of both sides.
Now to better understand the picture, here are the three categories of costs when comparing traditional paper-based billing versus full on-line or digital billing.
At first some of us would think that a paper-based billing is not that expensive at all since it only involves the cost for paper, envelopes, ink and postage. But that’s not all, there are also indirect charges that comes with paper-based billing like the required manpower for handling calls and doing the accounting. Also, not to mention the bulk of bills that is undelivered and the costs that comes with storing these bills. Indeed, if you are to look at it that way then you could just see how expensive paper-based billing could be!
And for a small company, that could be a pretty serious expenditure to consider. But then again, the question here is not about if it is expensive or not, the main argument here is, as to whether the money that we are investing on paper-based billing is all worth it?
Let’s face it, the internet has always been virtual. The electronic way of doing things is not that accurate if we are to do things the way that we would normally do it. Like that in a paper-based billing system. If in a paper-based billing system we are already encountering some problems on getting some people account for their bills, debts and others, what more if we would do it digitally?
What proof could we have that they have received the bills if we are to send it through email? Although admittedly, the internet has been very useful to us these days, it is not without any faults or flaws. There have always been some glitches when it comes to communicating through the internet. We have always encountered how the electronic mail is not fool-proof. We have experienced for so many times when the e-mail that we are to send did not reach the person concerned.

From Tree to Paper
Grown-ups would always say that we should not waste a single piece of paper since the number of trees is already dwindling in our world. The lack of trees has serious consequences, not only to our paper supply, but in the welfare of our nature as well. Although wood pulp is said to be a renewable product, we are still faced with lots of problem since most of us are not taking some of our precious time to plant a tree.
But really, how does a wood pulp become a paper?
The paper that we are using right now is 95% made from trees. Trees with high quantity of cellulose fiber are really farmed for the purpose of paper production. These trees are noted to have cellulose fiber that comprises with 40 to 50% of the total weight of the said tree. Cellulose fibers are the only thing needed for paper making; this is why lignin and other organic materials should be separated in the “pulping” process.
Pulping could be mechanical and it mainly produces paper products that do not require strongly bonded fibers like newsprint, packaging, and others. The other method is chemical processing where heat, pressure and chemicals are used to dissolve the lignin in the wood.
But then again, paper could not be recycled infinitely. The fibers of the paper are getting shorter and shorter each time they are mechanically processed making it possible for an average paper to be reprocessed from three to six times. Other than pulping, production of recycled paper also requires bleaching because of the combination of different dyes and inks that are used in the paper previously.
After bleaching, the wood pulp now undergoes an intricate process of layer building before it is sent to the final roller, which squeezes out the last of the water. Paper is often dried with infrared heat. The output or the recycled paper usually looks a little off-white or gray making it physically different from the processed new paper that is totally bleached.
Although the “paperless society” is now being explored by many technological firms and experts, paper is still far from extinction. We would still need paper in the next centuries or so, making it important for us to be familiar with recycling paper and reuse of raw materials.

Kid-Friendly Card Making
Parents are very protective of their children. So, when the time that they are should go to school. It is the parents who are scared and the children are very ecstatic. Both of them, the kids and the parent, could not sleep days before the first day of class. Again, it is excitement for the children and paranoia for the parents.
Parents are particularly scared during the arts and crafts class since it is that specific subject when their children could freely use scissors and other harmful instruments to work with their craft projects. Some parents are too scared and paranoid to the point that they would request the school if they could just bring the project at home so that they could watch them carefully as they work on the project. However, some parents are quite sneaky. Instead of running the risk of hurting their children in the process, they would just work on the project instead and let their children play outside.
But have you parents ever thought that in this way, not only they are teaching their children to be lazy and dependent but also they are depriving them of a once in a lifetime chance to learn new things and explore their creativity?
Card making is one of the most common arts and crafts activities that most schools would assign their pupils. Parents need not to worry if they would hear that a teacher is giving a card making project for the class because there are many ways by which they could be assured that it would be safe and educational for their children. Card making is the safest art and craft project in schools. It is designed in such a way that the creativity of the children would be challenged without even worrying about scissor cuts and other crafts-related accidents.
How? This is a unique card making activity since pupils are not requested to bring scissors.
For starters, teachers are already showing the students the kind of card that they are about to make, a day before the card making day. It is through this activity that the cognitive skill is challenged since the kids are just instructed to look at the card carefully to observe on the things that they should bring for the card making project. Since this is a no-scissors kind of card making project, they are expected that all of the paper that they will need is already cut under the parent’s supervision, of course.
When the card making day comes, everyone is excited, including the parents. This time they are not worried at all since they know that their children are safe in this kind of activity. The kids love card making activities. It is that kind of activity in school that they look forward every month. For them, it is really fun to make a card and customize its design based on what they want. It is one way of children to express themselves and let their feelings or emotions heard.

Printing Methods – Making Cards
It is no secret that modern technology in many ways brought together the main features of printing reduce the number of distinguishing features between them. However, undergoing many significant changes that are now used all the major printing processes, although in different percentages in different countries.
Offset, flexo, high, deep and screen printing have their applications, cost-based limited edition border and, of course, despite the reduction of differences in sound quality, its advantages and disadvantages.
As the emphasis of this article aims to screen printing, it is necessary to recall the features of this printing method for making card, which distinguishes it from other methods.
There is ability to make cards through use of a wide range of materials from paper and plastics to metal and glass.
Printing on non-planar surfaces, printing on finished products.
Printing ink layers thick, the possibility of the paint layer thickness to 350 microns.
Print a large number of layers of paint.
Exceptionally large formatted printing capabilities.
Large range of replicable boundaries. Modern technologies of screen printing for print runs can be compared with the offset and flexographic printing, for example in the label. Refers to the possibility of rotating screen printing, which allows us to develop cost-effective print speed in combination with other powerful ways to print (up to 60 m / min.).
The special properties of stencil paint (high intensity, optical density, resistance to chemical and mechanical resistance, high gloss, etc.), including screen printing allows the use of paint create special effects.
Like every other type of printing, screen printing has some drawbacks that limit its domain of application. The disadvantages are primarily limitations in printing small items of halftone dots, fonts, fine lines, limited speed, the relatively high cost of prints.
All known methods of printing have their own characteristics and thus a situation in which perhaps a qualitative improvement of the properties or to make special effects finished printed product with a combination of two or more ways to print.
Consider the main areas of use of combined methods of card making.
Printing labels
Of course, screen printing can not be called the dominant method of printing in the production of labels. But lately, it is increasingly being used for the manufacture of labels (especially self-adhesive), and this trend continues to evolve. Why did the combined screen printing, in this context, different combinations of the stencil with flexo and offset printing (no offense to other ways of printing stencil is stylistically distinguished according to topics of this magazine) is now - an essential element in increasing the value and achievement of specific performance of self-adhesive labels?
For a long time, the process of screen printing used to print labels only in niche industries. At these facilities are used mainly flat-leaf stencil machines and sometimes machines for printing from roll to roll. Today the process of screen printing, with respect to self-adhesive labels, are most likely to be associated with the technology of rotary stencil, but not by itself and in combination with other types of printing, for example, rotary letterpress, with flexo or offset. When connecting a line printing machine can include up to 9, 10 or 11 sections and is often combined with a section of hot foil stamping.

Printing and Types of A4 Cards
A4 cards - this paper production of standard or custom-sized, sealed with one or two parties, one or several colors. The A4 card can be informative, advertising or propaganda. Cards - this type of product, which allows you to quickly attract consumers' attention and creates a massive influx of retail outlets and sales offices almost immediately.
A4 cards and booklets as successfully used for the presentation of the company, its services or products. They are easy to distribute through the mail boxes or hand out in crowded places. But the resulting effect depends also on the design of the product. Important in the design of any A4 card - a conceptual and clarity, allowing for a second to determine its destiny. An attractive leaflet on good paper has a better chance of being read. Memorable corporate identity leaflets warrants more attention and to follow your advertising companies. In order to make the layout leaflets quickly and on a truly professional at your disposal a team of designers.
With regard to the printing of A4 cards, they - three.
1. Digital printing fliers - can get a high quality in the shortest possible time.
Such printing cards have a major advantage - speed. Rescues, for example, if you do not have enough advertising cards and if you are in need of print additional amount of A4 cards urgently.
2. Offset Printing - Printing a source of printing and is considered to be most cheaply way.
3. Printing and production of A4 card on isograph - suitable for all black and white cards or full-color version of the budget (in full color isograph). Suitable for cards "on hand", price lists, mailing lists, forms, etc.
There are various options for finishing of A4 card - folding, creasing, laminating, varnishing (selective or continuous), perforating, cutting, stamping, numbering,. In addition, to increase the advertising effect on each leaflet may address treatment (personalization).
Flyers - one of the most effective ways to impact the consumer. For best effect you need an original and memorable design and print quality. In Russia, the leaflets as a way of advertising are very popular. This is not surprising, because they are popular all over the world. The Flyers have a briefing on the company and frequently inform the audience about the various promotions.
Operational print color flyers - that's what many company is proud of if you need immediate printing of leaflets A4, A5, A6, please call the manager for more information.

Properties of Paper and its Quality
Choosing paper for the office, at first glance, it seems not too difficult, but a wrong decision can lead to waste, and to the deterioration of the image of the firm.
With the introduction of a new generation of high-speed digital copiers and printers has increased significantly the rate of paper in the machine, more and more customers require double-sided documents. Therefore, the quality requirements for paper and other materials used for printed works in the office are constantly increasing. The question what is the most good paper, in most cases, you can hear that it is "very white paper." Not by chance on the market in recent years appeared a lot of copy paper perfect white for suspiciously low price. In fact, White has the same relation to the quality of paper as the color of the car to its performance.
Quality of paper is determined by its physical, chemical, electrostatic properties, as well as finish.
Physical properties:
Density (in g/m2) - copiers and printers work best with paper that is 80-90 g/m2, although most modern devices can operate with paper of different densities;
Thickness (in mm) - depends on the density and compaction of paper. The higher the thickness, the more restrictive is the paper;
Hardness - the resistance bending force. Paper may be too loose or, conversely, too rigid. This paper is poorly served and causes a jam;
Opacity (in %) - double-sided printing, it is important that the paper was not transparent. Usually, the smaller the density of paper, so it is transparent;
Roughness and smoothness - affects the quality of image transfer. On rough paper, toner can be fixed properly, it is erased or flaking;
Direction of fibers - to the copier or printer to work better, fibers must be oriented along the long edges of the paper;
Humidity (%) - the optimal value of paper moisture is equal to 4.5%, which provides the necessary electrical resistance and reduces twisting;
Curl - bond paper should not have a residual deflection after the printing process. On paper curl effect high moisture content, exposure to high temperatures and pressures;
Brightness - affects the contrast between the image and the paper that makes the picture more readable.
Chemical and electrical factors:
Clean the surface of the sheet - external pollution associated with dust, formed as a result of poor-quality paper sizing, and the interior caused by the chemicals - the consequences of poor process;
Tar - limited to a paper in order to keep unchanged the shape of the leaf, so the resin tends to evaporate under the heat.

Most memories are preserved with the use of pictures where images taken on a particular occasion are printed in a piece of discounted photo paper.
There are plenty of photo papers being sold in various market these days for the chief reason that almost everything can be printed on them may it be as letters, memos, news articles, notes, and even pictures. These papers come in different textures either smooth or rough. One of which is the matte paper. It appears to be dull and rough. It is most commonly taken advantage for business purposes like having a printed material that requires being non-glossy or non-glaring. It can be purchased at various stores at different prices. Buy something that is offered less than the fixed price because the printer can make it as good as possible. Another photo paper texture is Iron, which is utilized to print pictures or images on very dark fabrics. This kind of paper texture can be transferred to other surfaces and one perfect example of this are the designs and pictures printed on t-shirts. You buy cheap materials for these but just make sure the items are made of very good quality. Photographic papers are another kind of papers which have a shiny appearance and are particularly produced for printing photographs. The price of these photo papers is very reasonable because there are plenty of competitors who are selling these as well. These photograph papers are created to print digital pictures at the highest quality that consumers always desire.

Paper is a very important commodity nowadays. For many of us even, not a day passes by without us utilizing a single sheet of paper or coming into contact with one. I mean we could not survive a single day without experiencing the need to write down a very important idea or notes in a paper or having the urgency to read something that is written or printed in a piece of paper. This even happens whether we like it or not, it is more like of an involuntary action just like when we happen to glance in one of the large posters while we are on our way to home, work or school.
Our interaction with paper is largely inevitable. It's use is now very extensive in all sorts of genre and industry, in every facet of life. Even an illiterate could never last a day without having an experience that involves a paper! How, you may ask? Well, not because they are illiterate, they can't understand or appreciate graphics and illustrations.

Or could you picture a birthday party without those birthday hats and that giant banner that greets the celebrator a very happy birthday? What about the name cards and other fun stuff present in the loot bag and the prizes for the games? How could they be fun if they are not made of paper?

Card for all Occasions
Nothing is permanent in this world except for change. Cliche as it may, let's face it, that age old adage mirrors the truth in our daily existence. We should not resist change. Change is good, it gives us room for improvement, innovation and eventually progress.
Although majority of us sees the bad side of the increasing population, some creative industry sees it as a challenge. It gives them more clients with diverse opinions and views that they have to please. One of these creative industry are the greeting card companies. They are now working full force on coming up with different card designs that would continuously amaze and touch people from all walks of life.
At the same time, different companies are now riding on having an occasion to zoom their product's sales and revenue. Take for instance, when a famous chocolate company campaigned on the day where everyone will show their gratitude and give thanks. Of course, subtly, they would really want the world in a day to say thank you by buying their product and sharing it to others. But then again, above all of these propaganda started by many big companies in starting new occasions, the main benefector of which would always be the greeting card companies.
Apart from the increasing patrons and occasions comes also a great demand. People are now looking for more ways than one to express their thoughts and feelings to others. Time will come that apparently a two-fold greeting card will no longer be enough. People will look for more witty and innovative presentation of their good old greeting cards.
This is where our musical greeting cards and oddly-shaped greeting cards enter. And of course, who could miss the greeting cards that could double as your good old sturdy bookmark or post card. And the list goes on. Indeed, greeting card companies are getting the tricks of the trade when it comes to maintaining a standing in this seemingly very thoughtful industry.

Starting a Term Paper
It is impossible for one to get through college without having to write a term paper. Many times the task of writing a term or research paper can be daunting to student who has exams to study for, homeworks to finish and several extra-curricular activities to attend to. This is where some seek help and assistance from outside sources which includes older siblings or relatives who have gone through the same process of writing a paper, classmates who are gifted with excellent writing abilities and in desperation, there are those who seek writing services online and buy their term paper.
Writing, literally, is easy to learn, as most people were taught to write since childhood. But writing for academic, artistic or creative purposes takes more work. Although there are people who can do and actually enjoy it, there are also those who needs to exert a lot more effort in order to produce a decent paper. But this is not to say that it is impossible. In fact, the right attitude is all that's needed to get through the task successfully. Once the proper mindset is in place, the required diligence and determination are sure to follow.
So one might ask, where do I start? Choosing a topic is the very first thing that one must do in writing a term paper. There is a wide range of topics that you can write about. The task of finding the right topic will be initially dictated by your particular course or subject that you are taking. For example, if you are taking philosophy, you should not expect writing a paper on which ingredients are the best for preparing food for diabetics.
Most instances, too, your professor will give a specific focus of interest which is still broad enough for the whole class to have a different topic for each one, but narrow in such a way that it would be easy to look for specific topics within that area of knowledge.
In choosing a topic, it is advisable to start with a list that you can think of or make preliminary research to check on which specific topics are available to you. For example, if your professor said you need to write a paper on mass communications, you can list down topics on journalism, broadcasting, communication research or film and audio visuals. Then you can focus on one of these specific areas of study then list down sub-topics further down.
After listing down your topics, narrow it down further based on your interest. It is important that you choose a topic that you personally like in order to maintain that interest to work on it till the end. Keep in mind that choosing your topic is very important so you should devote ample time in selecting that one topic that can make or break your grade.
