HALFTONE
A method of screening a continuous tone image (like a photograph) for printing or reproduction. The dots in the screen vary in size and density to recreate the complete range of highlights, low lights, and mid-tones of the original image.

HAND CUTTING
A process of cutting envelopes by hand placing the die in a precise position on a lift of paper. This is often done for short run converting work.

HAND FOLDING
Orders as small as 100 can be die cut and folded by hand, including seam gumming and flap gumming. This is most often done to make custom "King Size" envelopes.
