More about this product
Say it properly with a card that carries your own design. Our custom greeting cards suit holiday mailings, customer thank-you notes, event invitations and seasonal promotions, and they print crisp on a sturdy 14pt card stock that feels good in the hand.
Order as few as 100 or as many as 1,000, upload your artwork, and we will print and trim them for you. Not sure how to lay it out? Add a designer and we will build it with you.
Everything is printed in Canada, and you can add an emailed PDF proof so you can approve the card before we start. Add plain or printed envelopes if you want the cards ready to mail.

Not marking where the fold is on a folded card
Mark the fold clearly and tell us in the order notes.
Leaving out the 1/8" bleed
Extend backgrounds 1/8 in past the trim line, or thin white edges can show after cutting.
Placing text or logos too close to the edge
Keep all text and logos at least 1/8 in inside the trim line.
Uploading low-resolution images or screenshots
Anything under 300 dpi looks soft in print, use full-size artwork.
Submitting RGB artwork
Print uses CMYK and can look a little duller than on screen, convert before you upload.
Forgetting to embed or outline fonts
Letters can swap to a default font if fonts are not embedded or outlined.
