Custom Printed Greeting Cards

Create a Stunning Impression of your Brand with Premium Materials & Accurate Dimensions

When it comes to producing greeting cards, personal celebrations, brand building, marketing and promotion, or invitations and announcements, the paper material plays a very crucial role. The choice of paper or card stock can significantly impact the final appearance of your print. But it all comes down to your personal choice, budget, design, printing method, and desired finish.

At Half Price Packaging, we have a wide library of paper and card stock options available to meet all types of needs and requirements.

All materials are customizable by size, weight, and stock.

From A4 to A7 and above, we have a variety of sizes available for card and paper sheets. We also offer pre-creased card blanks in sizes including but not limited to A5, A6, DL, Small Square, Large Square, 5 X 7, etc. These pre-creased cards are scored or marked with a line to indicate where they should be folded, making it easier for users to fold them neatly and accurately.

Our card blanks are described by their size when folded. For example, a blank A5 card starts as an A4 sheet. When folded in half, it becomes a card with an A5-sized front. Following are the types of paper stock we provide for the custom greeting cards and custom foil greeting cards:

• Stardream Metallic Crystal White

• Royal Sundance Felt Ultra White

• Pearl Oyster

• Silk Paper

• Premium Kraft

• Gloss Cover

• Matte Cover

• Recycled Silk

• Uncoated Cover

• Ultra Premium Smooth White

• Premium Linen

• Premium Matte Cover

• Ultra Premium Pearl

• Ultra Premium Smooth White

• Simple Cardstock/Metallic Cardstock

All these materials are available in a thickness ranging from 9pt to 24pt.

You can select any of them based on your requirements. If you have any other specific requests regarding the paper stock materials, share them with us. We are happy to accommodate your preferences and ensure that you receive the perfect paper stock for your project.

We suggest using 12pt C1S (coated one side) for your custom greeting cards.

This thick card has a shiny gloss finish on the front but no coating on the back. The inside of the card is uncoated, which is great for writing because the ink won't smudge and dries fast.

Let’s Design Custom Greeting Cards with Envelopes

At Half Price Packaging, we have a wide array of envelope options for greeting and thank you cards, including Baronial and Social styles with diagonal seams, as well as A-size envelopes from A-2 to A-10. These envelopes can be customized with tabbing, banding, printing, and lining in various paper colors. Whether you need a few or millions, we can accommodate your specific requests. Just let us know what you need!

Other types of envelopes we provide include:

• Square envelopes

• Commercial envelopes

• Chasp closure envelopes

• Window envelopes

• Self-sealing envelopes

Although booklet and catalog envelopes are not that suitable for greeting cards, you can still consider using them for some unique card shape or style, such as pop-up/hand-made greeting cards.

Besides these, we can also provide custom-sized or shaped envelopes per your demand.

Make your Custom Made Greeting Cards Look Phenomenal Utilizing Variable Data Printing

We offer state-of-the-art printing techniques (offset & digital) and famous printing color models (CMYK & PMS) for all types of custom greeting cards and gift card boxes. You can go for full-color both sides (outside & inside) printing as well as full-color front (outside) and blank back (inside), whatever suits you best.

For precise color reproduction in branding, spot color (PMS) is the ideal method, while CMYK is best for achieving vibrant colors and photorealistic images.

“Letterpress” and “Thermography” are some other specialized printing methods used for greeting cards. The former one is the best choice for high-end invitations and custom business greeting cards. “Foil Printing” is also another remarkable option to add a luxurious touch.

From incorporating your business logo, team photos, or product images into your custom photo greeting cards to including taglines, relevant information, and contact details, Half Price Packaging does it all for you with Variable Data Printing (VDP). We focus on choosing fonts that are easy to read and suitable for the intended purpose.

Our team increases the elegance of custom Christmas greeting cards by offering exquisite gold image printing and metallic foils. In addition to gold, we provide image printing in other stunning foil colors, including silver, copper, rose gold, pink, blue, red, and more.
