Graphics Decal HQ is Winnipeg's locally operated full-service print and branding shop — trusted by Manitoba couples, luxury event planners, premium brands, and high-stakes non-profit galas to produce invitations that perform at the price point the event represents. UV coating is unforgiving on production: the gloss layer amplifies every print artifact, every misregistration, every colour shift; which is why UV-coated invitations demand the calibrated equipment and experienced production team we run from our Winnipeg facility. When you order through GDHQ a local team reviews your artwork before press, catches the file issues that hide under matte but show up under UV gloss, and produces your order to a consistent premium standard.

Invitation card production has details that matter under UV — ink coverage limits matter more on the back side if you need handwritten addressing, edge bleed has to be handled cleanly because trim cuts expose the card core, and Canada Post automated sorting clearance for the address block has to be respected. We catch all of it before press so your invitation suite drops into the mail stream cleanly the first time.

Our high-resolution digital printing followed by precision UV coating means your brand colours, photography, and typography come through with the saturation the format is engineered to deliver. We offer local pickup at 2095 Logan Avenue, Winnipeg — ready in 4 to 5 business days — as well as Canada-wide shipping for guests scattered across multiple provinces.

For other invitation finishes, see our [Invitation Cards] for the standard finish range, or [Laminated Invitation Cards] for the maximum-durability premium finish. To pair invitations with matching premium collateral, see our [UV Glossy Postcards] for save-the-dates and follow-ups, [Laminated Business Cards] for matching brand cards, or [Envelopes] for premium mailing.

We are also a 3M Certified Graphics Installation Company and a CBSA-approved barcode printer — credentials that reflect the standard of quality and compliance we bring to every product we produce.

UV high-gloss invitation cards are the right choice for Winnipeg hosts and Canadian organizations producing invitations that need to feel premium without the cost of full lamination:

• Wedding couples across Winnipeg and Canada producing invitations with rich photography and metallic colour palettes that benefit from gloss saturation
• Corporate galas, executive recognition events, and customer appreciation nights at Manitoba businesses signaling premium positioning
• Non-profit galas and major fundraising events across Canada where the invitation has to convert recipients into ticket buyers at premium price points
• Brand launch events, product unveilings, and creative agency activations where the invitation itself becomes a piece of brand expression
• Wedding planners, event designers, and venue operators across Manitoba producing curated invitation suites for clients across multiple events per year
• Milestone celebrations — 50th anniversaries, decade birthdays, retirements, vow renewals — where the invitation reads as intentional and substantial
• Bar / Bat Mitzvahs, quinceaneras, sweet sixteens, and cultural celebrations where the invitation reflects family investment in the occasion
• Real estate brokerages and luxury retail brands hosting open houses, VIP previews, and brand activations
• Photographers, designers, architects, and creative professionals using UV gloss invitations for studio events and portfolio showcases

To order, configure your UV coverage, size, paper weight, and print side using the options above, upload your print-ready artwork file, and add to cart. Important note for UV designs: avoid heavy ink coverage in fold or score areas, plan your back side for either UV gloss or writable handwritten addressing (not both), and ensure full bleed extends to the trim line. Our Winnipeg team reviews every file and will flag any issues. Design assistance is available — reach out via our [Contact] page or call us at (204) 403-4347.

Local pickup is available at 2095 Logan Avenue, Winnipeg MB. Standard production is 4 to 5 business days after artwork approval. Rush 48hr service is available — select at checkout before the 2pm daily cutoff.
