Low-Cost Holiday Greeting Cards Printing

Pick Size Folded (5x7 A7, 4.25x5.5 A2, or 5x5 square), Paper Stock (Matte 110 lb, Pearl Shimmer, or Recycled Eco), Fold, and qty in the calculator above. Upload a print-ready PDF with cover and inside spread labeled, or send your holiday photo, logo, and greeting copy for Free Design Setup. We email a proof showing all four panels before any card is folded or trimmed.

For Low-Cost Holiday Greeting Cards, standard and custom size choices update the live total as you change the calculator. Note any frame, pocket, or display constraints in comments so we verify fit on the proof. Contact support the same business day if you need help choosing specs before you approve the proof.

On this Low-Cost Holiday Greeting Cards page, select material tiers in the calculator and we note the stock choice on the digital proof. Match finish to where the piece will live - indoor, outdoor, or high-touch service. Contact support the same business day if you need help choosing specs before you approve the proof.

Standard production for holiday greeting cards is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval. Rush 2 to 3 business days and Next-Day tiers show in the calculator when eligible. Order at least 10 business days before your mail date to cover production plus ground transit. November orders move more reliably than last-week December submissions as production slots fill quickly.

Yes. We email a digital proof showing front cover, inside spread, back panel, and fold alignment before any card is folded or trimmed. Holiday cards have four panels worth of copy review; we confirm margin clearance from the fold crease and envelope-fit sizing on the same proof pass. Production starts only after you reply with written approval.

PDF at final folded trim size with 0.125 inch bleed is ideal. Supply outside cover and inside spread as separate pages or as a flat spread with fold line labeled. High-res PNG at 300 dpi at final trim size works for photo-heavy cover designs. Free Design Setup works from your holiday photo, logo, and greeting copy list without requiring a finished PDF.

Calculator minimum is 25 cards with tiers at 50, 100, 250, 500, and 1,000. Small runs at 25 or 50 cover boutique client lists and intimate family mailings. Volume buyers at 500 and 1,000 get the best per-card rate for corporate and nonprofit seasonal programs. No forced overrun beyond your selected tier quantity.

Yes. We print in Florida and ship holiday greeting cards to all 50 states. Enter your zip code at checkout for live ground and priority rates after production. Cards ship flat-packed for A2 and square formats, or folded and banded for A7 quantities. Rush carrier options are available at checkout when your mail date is tight.

Add 0.125 inch bleed past trim on all four sides. Keep text and photos at least 0.125 inch inside the trim edge on all panels. Copy on the inside panels should stay at least 0.25 inch from the fold crease so greeting text does not run into the fold. We mark all bleed, trim, safe zone, and crease lines on your proof.

Small business clients most often ask whether A7 fits a standard envelope, whether pearl stock adds much cost, and whether ordering 100 and reordering is smarter than 500 upfront. A7 fits standard A7 envelopes; pearl adds roughly 25 percent over matte; and we keep your approved proof on file for easy reorder at the same price when you scale up.

Common holiday card file mistakes include sending a flat single-page layout for a folded card without labeling which side is the cover, placing important copy too close to the fold crease, and submitting RGB artwork for a CMYK press run. We catch all three on the proof and suggest fixes before any card is printed or folded.

For tight budgets, start with Matte 110 lb stock at qty 100 and Standard 3-5 day turnaround. Pearl Shimmer is worth the upgrade only when the design relies on shimmer effect rather than photography impact alone. Qty 100 covers most small business holiday mailings to key clients. Scale to 250 or 500 when table distribution or high-count list volume is needed.

Send art or Free Design Setup notes and receive a digital proof by email within about one business day on most orders. Review all four card panels for layout, copy, and fold accuracy. Reply with changes or written approval. We fold and trim only after written approval. Revision rounds are included without additional charge through the proof process.

Holiday greeting cards are folded cards for seasonal sending with a cover panel and inside message space. Party invitations use the same format but carry event date, venue, and RSVP details. Thank-you greeting cards focus on appreciation copy inside. Flat postcards skip the fold and envelope step. Choose holiday greeting card format when the message needs a separate inside note panel.

Rush 2 to 3 business day production is available when the Rush tier appears in the calculator for your qty. Next-Day is listed when available. Plan extra lead time in November and December when carrier ground volume slows transit by one to two days beyond published standard estimates. Note your mail date in order comments and we confirm fit.

Free Design Setup covers layout, holiday photo placement, font selection, inside greeting copy formatting, bleed, and fold line alignment at no separate design fee on qualifying orders. Send your logo, a holiday photo if using one, and inside greeting text as a document or comment. We build the layout and send a proof for your review before printing.

No hidden setup or plate fees on holiday greeting card orders. The calculator total covers printing, folding, and your selected shipping tier. Free Design Setup is included on qualifying orders without a separate design line item. Envelope purchasing is separate and not included in our card calculator; we recommend matching A7 or A2 envelopes sourced from any stationery supplier.

Production time is print, fold, and pack time on our floor after proof approval. Shipping time is carrier transit from our Florida facility to your address. A Standard 3-5 day production run plus 3-day ground shipping totals 6 to 8 calendar days from approval to delivery, not 3 to 5. Factor both legs when planning around a fixed mail date.

Print-ready PDF at final trim size is preferred to preserve vector type sharpness on inside copy panels. High-res PNG at 300 dpi at final trim size works for photo-heavy front covers. JPG degrades type edges and fine script fonts; reserve it for full-bleed photo panels where bold type is minimal. Free Design Setup accepts raw photos, copy, and logo files.

We price holiday greeting cards competitively through volume printing and direct-to-customer fulfillment. Use the live calculator for your real-time total including shipping. Send a comparable itemized quote from another shop and we review when stock grade, fold type, qty, and finish are equal. Our pricing stays transparent with no surprise line items added after checkout.

After proof approval your holiday greeting card order enters press, folds to final format, packs for transit, and ships with a tracking email when the carrier scans the label. If you have a specific mail date or corporate distribution deadline, note it in order comments before checkout and we confirm whether the timeline fits before production starts.
