Can I really use this beautiful Marigold Lokta paper in my printer, and what about the marigold petals?

Yes, you absolutely can! Many customers have successfully printed on our Marigold Lokta paper. Because it's handmade, the texture can vary slightly, but the strong, long fibres typically feed through standard printers without issues, as one happy customer shared. The marigold petals are naturally pressed into the paper during its creation, adding lovely texture and visual interest without interfering with printing. We recommend doing a quick test print with a blank sheet first to ensure it works perfectly with your specific printer settings.

I'm planning a special event. How durable is this Lokta paper for invitations, and what's the deal with the un-gummed envelopes?

This Marigold Lokta paper is surprisingly durable and tear-resistant thanks to its strong, natural fibres – it’s designed to last! It's perfect for invitations that you want to feel substantial and special. The envelopes are intentionally left un-gummed because they're ideal for sealing with a beautiful wax stamp, adding an extra touch of elegance and security to your invitations. This also means you don't have to worry about the adhesive potentially reacting with anything over time.

I love that this paper is handmade and sustainable, but will the marigold petals look the same on all the pieces, and how should I handle them?

One of the unique beauties of our Marigold Lokta paper is that each piece is truly one-of-a-kind! Because the marigold petals are naturally embedded during the handmade process in Nepal, you'll notice slight variations in petal placement, colour depth, and paper texture from one sheet or card to another. This is a sign of its authentic, artisanal origin. Just handle them with the care you would any beautiful stationery; the paper itself is naturally tear-resistant, and the petals are securely part of the paper structure.
