Blattpapier Studio

Blattpapier Studio's About page closes its self-introduction with a line most stationers in this category never bother to write down: "Whether in German, English, Spanish or Italian, I would be happy to create this for you." For a couple planning a Swiss wedding without German as a working language, juggling vendors, translators and out-of-town parents at the same time, that sentence answers a question most competitors leave a couple to find out by email. The studio runs out of Ehrikon, Switzerland, and is a one-person operation: Anmar Wüthrich, a graphic designer with over 10 years of international professional experience, who designs, prints and personally assembles every invitation by hand, occasionally bringing in trusted vendors and master printers for pieces that need them.

The product range runs wide rather than narrow. On the wedding side: save the dates, invitations, RSVP cards, menus, place cards, table numbers, welcome signs, seating chart signs, vow books and thank you cards, plus envelope liners, ribbons, wax seals and vellum wraps as finishing touches. Separate from any of that, the studio also runs a branding stationery line for businesses: business cards, event menus, flyers and personalized Christmas cards. Wax seals get their own dedicated shop section, sold both as an in-house collection with an adhesive back and as a custom design carrying a couple's own initials.

Every invitation and shop-suite piece is digitally printed. The studio's own Design Guide describes digital printing as its most versatile method, well suited to illustrations and multi-color designs, with printing itself taking 10 days or less. There is no letterpress on offer anywhere on the site. Hand calligraphy shows up only as an envelope-addressing add-on, priced separately from the invitation and written personally by hand on each envelope, not as the printing method for the card itself. Foil stamping works the same way: it is an add-on, not a base process. CHF 200 buys one run of a fully custom foil die on the main invitation, adds 2 weeks to the production schedule, and automatically upgrades the paper to a double-thick stock. Paper choice for the fully bespoke route spans a 40 lb (150 gsm) translucent vellum, a 92 lb (250 gsm) recyclable cotton, a 100 lb (270 gsm) matte and a 105 lb (285 gsm) metallic, up to a hand-made 110 lb (300 gsm) cotton rag paper available only on request, priced from 4.50 per invitation card.

A CHF 90 suite, or a mood board built from scratch

Blattpapier Studio sells stationery two different ways, and each one runs on its own rules. The fully bespoke route opens with an inquiry form and a general pricing proposal that can still be adjusted, item by item, before anything goes to print. Booking it needs a 50% deposit and a signed agreement. From there the studio builds a mood board and color themes around wording the couple supplies, sends digital proofs by email covering both printing method and materials, and includes 2 rounds of revisions before a final proof locks the design. Production starts only once that final proof is approved, the remaining balance is due at that point, and the finished pieces ship fully assembled within 1 to 3 weeks depending on the printing method chosen. A custom design fee sits on top of the base pricing, quoted as running $200 to $1,000 depending on how much original design work a piece needs, the one place on the site where a price is stated in dollars rather than francs.

The second route is a ready-made semi-custom line sold straight through the shop, built around named suites such as Silvana. Each suite bundles a matched invitation, save the date, RSVP, menu, place card, table number and thank you card, and every product page states its copy twice, once in English and once in German. The Silvana invitation starts from CHF 90.00, digitally printed on 100 lb (270 gsm) white paper with a soft coral envelope, and its quantity selector stops at 4 fixed tiers: 25, 50, 70 or 100. The Silvana save the date starts from CHF 66.00, its RSVP and menu each from CHF 60.00, place cards from CHF 12.00 and table numbers from CHF 15.00. That lowest tier, 25, is the closest thing the site publishes to a blanket minimum order, since neither the guide nor the inquiry page states a floor for a fully bespoke commission.

Two prices for the same add-on, and other gaps worth checking directly

A couple pricing add-ons will find two different figures depending on which page they read. The Design Guide lists calligraphy addressing starting at 4.00 per envelope and digital addressing starting at 1.80 per envelope; the shop checkout prices the same two add-ons from CHF 75.00 and from CHF 48.00. Neither page is dated and nothing on the site resolves the gap, so the honest read is that the guide states an advisory starting price while the shop cart is the number that actually charges a card, and a couple should confirm which applies at the inquiry stage rather than assume. Item-level minimums show the same patchwork rather than one rule: pocket folds carry a minimum of 20 pieces at 3.50 each, the custom thank you card line needs a minimum order of 15 pieces at 4.80 each, and other guide items such as menus, place cards and table numbers publish a per-piece starting price with no floor stated at all.

The CHF 20.00 paper sample box is worth ordering before committing to either route, since its cost is credited back against a later order rather than simply spent. The catch is that the samples inside are pre-printed and not customizable, so a couple sees paper weight and print quality rather than their own colors or wording. Response to an inquiry is stated at 1 to 2 business days, and the site's portfolio and shop sections both carry 2026 update dates, with no closure or "no longer taking bookings" notice anywhere on the pages read for this listing.

What holds the listing together is the range and the paperwork behind it: one studio covering the full run from save the dates to a wedding's day-of signage, a fully documented process with its deposit, revision count and turnaround written down rather than left for a couple to ask about, and two distinct ways in, a build-it-yourself shop suite with fixed pricing and quantity tiers, or a bespoke commission built around a mood board. Working fluently across German, English, Spanish and Italian is the detail that sets it apart in this category, and for a couple assembling a Swiss wedding from outside the country, a designer who can run the whole conversation in their own language, rather than a translated version of someone else's, is worth the extra step of confirming prices directly before booking.
