Hi Momoko,
Focal-Ad is located at Ubi and I've got the contact under SingaporeBrides "Cards & Printers"
You may look for Stephen Ng. He is very friendly and experience. As for price, I did my wedding inserts and it costs me $90.00 for 300pcs. On top of that, I did my church cards with them too. It was a very simple yet elegant design. They have a new product which is Gold or silver stickers for sticking on the envelope. It look very nice and costs only $0.20 per pc. Very reasonable. You may call them to try them out. Their website is www.focal-ad.com

Hi may i enquire how much is focal-ad printing charges? Im considering between t-dragons or focal-ad. I dun want to exceed my budget lor..coz i dun want hotel cards and will be buying cards & doing printing by one printer lor. So must see which is cheaper, better service & nicer range of cards.
Hi
I just printed my inserts at focal ad. They charge me $80 for the 1st 200 pcs, subsequent at $0.20 each. They are truly fast !! I confirmed the artwork with them on Saturday, and by Monday morning, they called me to say its ready.
I used normal matt gold printing on the inserts.

Hi Cheryl,
A bit confused by ur question.
Direct Printing on cards is one price.
Insert Printing is another price.
Then purchase of cards; ie not using hotel/restaurant provided cards is another price.
Then printing got 2 types, 1 type is offset ink printing, the other type is the gold/silver hotstamping.
Pros & cons of Direct Printing on CARD itself -
1) if u write wrongly on the card the invitee's name etc, the WHOLE CARD is wasted.
2) Direct printing on card is of cos nicer.
Pros & cons of using Inserts -
1) If u write wrongly on the insert, the insert can be replaced with a new piece.
2) Cheaper cos u can print extra inserts and then wun waste ur cards.
3) Cost may be higher than direct printing if the paper u choose for printing inserts is more ex.
Types if ink to choose:
1) Offset - cheaper cos inkjet printing; ie ink is cheaper.
2) hotstamping - expensive but nicer cos u need to pay for stamp plate + hotstamping labour.
Call Stephen up, he can better advise u. We also only made our decision after meeting Stephen.
Apologies I cant recall how much I paid for hotstamping. I used Hotel provided cards & did insert hotstamping.

Hi all,
i had went to Focal-Ad because the restaurant that i am holding my wedding has a tie-up with them. My experience with Focal-Ad hasn't been a pleasant one. I have to go down to Ubi (their office) 3 times. First was to make the order and twice more to collect the cards. Mind u, i have to take a cab there on 3 ocassions. The place is so inaccessible.
The first time i was there to collect the cards, i realised that the locality map wasn't printed. First wasted trip!
The second time, i didn't check the cards upon collection. Back home, i realised that Focal-Ad haven't printed our names on the front of the cards!
What sloppy work!
Given a choice, i won't want to deal with Focal-Ad.

Hi esther, my experience with Stephen and his asst has so far been quite alright, no complaints actually. He's quite friendly and nice
Status now is waiting for them to print the cards, have given them green light for the draft they emailed me. So perhaps I'll post again after I've seen the cards ;p
Only thing for now is that I didn't fancy having to go to their Ubi office another time, so instead of 50% deposit, I paid in full so that they will deliver the printed cards to my hotel instead.

Hi, I had put a deposit of $100 for my invitation cards with Stephen at Focal Ad. And I am letting go at 10% off.
Anybody interested, can email me at [email protected]
Tks

My experience with Focal is ok, put the deposit liao. They are quite friendly. Except that if you want to do customisation must talk DIRECT to Stephen cos his assistant is completely clueless about all the production stuff.
I printed direct on card (hotstamping), with tracing paper and blind emboss in front. Came up to about $3 per card.

Any new couples getting their cards printed here pls check the "free map" very carefully. Check each word, spelling,street name and building VERY CAREFULLY.
I second Wookie's suggestion. Check every single spelling.
Very disappointed with their service, when I call I was told normal print takes about 3 days. Ended up it took 7 days! Worse my dad's name was written wrongly.
Totally fucked me up big time, with my GDL date 3 days away. I need to go back to hotel n get it reprint. Not even sure if they will reprint for me free.
