# Greeting Cards

A card for every moment worth marking.

From the biggest holiday mailer of the year to a single birthday card, every card gets the same care with layout, type, and color. Printed cards come in two 5×7 formats: folded (10×7 paper folded in half) or flat and printed on both sides, with options like gold foil, embossing, and heavyweight or recycled cardstock.

Whether it's the one mailer everyone in your family looks forward to each December or a single birthday card for someone specific, both get the same design process: real layout and color decisions, not a template with a photo dropped in.

Common questions

### How much do custom cards cost?

Custom Christmas and greeting cards start at $40 for design, plus printing. Card design is priced per side, in any combination: $40 for each designed side, $20 to add a framed photo on an inside page or the back, and $10 for each text-only side, plus printing. Every card has at least one designed side, so the minimum is $40\. A folded card has 4 sides (front, inside left, inside right, back) and a flat card has 2\. For example — one-sided flat card: $40; folded card designed front, message inside: $50; folded card designed front, framed photo and message inside: $70; flat card designed front and back: $80; folded card designed on all 4 sides: $160\. Every card design includes 1 redraft (a fresh take on the design) and 2 rounds of edits; additional edits are $20 each. Printing is quoted by quantity and finish. Wedding invitations are quoted by the pieces in the suite.

### How long does it take to design and print cards?

Simple designs can turn around in about a week; larger holiday runs need more lead time, especially in the fall.

### What card formats do you offer?

Two 5×7 formats for every kind of card. A folded card is printed on 10×7 paper and folded in half into a 5×7 card, with room inside for a message or more photos. A flat card is a single 5×7 card printed on both sides, with the option of rounded corners.

### What's the difference between Christmas Cards and Greeting Cards here?

Christmas Cards covers holiday and seasonal mailers specifically, booked heavily in the fall. Greeting Cards covers everything else — birthdays, thank-yous, invitations, and more, available year-round.

### Can I order cards outside the holiday season?

Yes — greeting cards for any occasion are available year-round, and so are Christmas cards. For guaranteed printing and shipping before Christmas, order by November 27.

### Can I see a proof before printing?

Yes — every card design goes through a proof and revision round before anything goes to print.

### Do you offer digital-only cards, not just printed ones?

Yes — cards can be delivered as print-ready files or as digital-share versions for text or email.
