Elves lab gives good printing service. However most commercial printing companies will not entertain limited numbers (but hey no harm trying).

My business and personal brochures/vouchers/invitations are all done by elves lab.

Lemme go dig out the web site, you can try searching it online.

If the quantity is really small... say... 20, print at home! or buy a packet of invite cards which can be found at major bookshops and gift stores.

Most of the time they'll ask u technical questions for quotations, lemme help you out with this.

Q: How many colors?
A: 4C by 4C gives you the full range (standard), 3C by 3C and below gives you mediocre color quality.

Q: Type of paper
A: Art Card (normal invitational cards), sometimes they'll ask you about card quality-measured in GSM. 250gsm gives you a good quality card print. If you want something better, opt for 300gsm and above.

Q: printing, Offset or digital
A: offset usually requires a quantity of 1000 and above, however some companies do entertain you. Digital is of slightly lower quality. (think of offset as movie poster quality, and digital as local neighbourhoob bulletin board posters)

Those are the main questions.

There are printing shops located at Lvl 1 of Peace Centre (Near Plaza Sing) that provides printing and designing, alternatively you can try Queensway shopping centre(4th floor if im not wrong). Other companies are too far-mostly in industrial estates-and they wont entertain small quantity orders.

Hope this helps =)

Oh ya! If you need to take a toddler photo and make a invitational card at the same time, theres a shop near raffles hotel that specialises in this (they do shootings for kids central) I have vouchers (which i don't need and looking for people who want it more than i do).

PM me if you need help, or... the vouchers haha

alternatively you can try fotohub (which i use to print my normal photos). if a friend can help you design the card on freehand/photoshop/illustrator, just send to them for digital print. Look for catherine at their Bukit Timah branch.

There are a number of printing shops around that print name cards, and photos on tee shirts etc. They usually do that kind of thing. There are a lot a Queensway shopping centre, 3rd floor, or Tampines mall has one ( i think its second floor). Good luck ( oh you could also try basement at Sim Lim Tower!
