Navy & Gold
Deep navy and gold — the unveiling with the weight of occasion.
Printing this design
A dark navy gradient with gold lettering, full-bleed across the cover — heavy ink coverage, and one of the three designs here that must be printed in colour rather than photocopied. Ask the shop for a price on the file rather than a per-page rate. Unveiling print runs are usually smaller than funerals, which softens the cost.
Choosing the photograph
The arch crop against a dark ground favours a well-lit portrait with a plain background; a bright or cluttered backdrop fights the navy. It also holds a photograph of the headstone well, provided the stone is lit from the front rather than in shadow.
Questions about Navy & Gold
- Why is this design more expensive to print?
- The cover is a dark full-bleed gradient, which uses substantially more ink than the light designs and often attracts a higher rate at a copy shop. Because unveiling runs are smaller than funeral runs, the total is usually still manageable.
- Can we photocopy it?
- Not usefully — the navy goes to muddy grey and the gold text loses its contrast. If photocopying is the plan, Granite or Modern Light give the same occasion at a fraction of the printing risk.
- Is it suitable for a funeral as well?
- It carries the unveiling order rather than a funeral one, but the order is fully editable. Families who want this cover for a funeral change the items and the design holds up without adjustment.
