GREETINGS CARDS & CHRISTMAS CARDS:


Greetings cards and Christmas cards for business, artists, photograhers - or just for sending to your friends.
Greetings cards have full colour glossy fronts and can be printed with your design or logo, or just your favourite photo. In addition you can have your own message or logo printed inside the card in either b&w/greyscale or full colour as an option. The cards are printed on 215gsm glossy card stock and are available in two sizes: small (139x107mm) and large (216x139mm).
Small sized Christmas cards and pre-printed designs can be ordered until 4th December.

DESIGN NOTES:

Your artwork should be a high quality image file, eg. tif, cpt, psd, high quality jpg, large enough to be printed at a size of at least 1642x1264 pixels. We do not print from Microsoft Word documents. We may be able to redraw your design from this at no additional charge, however we need to see your file before we can give you a decision on whether we can print your design. We cannot print from Microsoft Publisher documents. We can only accept pdf files if they fit the exact dimensions specified below.

If you have a simple design (eg. a single photo, text on plain background, text with image alongside) you can send us the text/images along with information on the layout, font, colour etc. and we will set up the design for you. This will normally be included in the card price.
If you are sending a ready-to-print design please ensure that it matches our design specifications below.
If you need us to set up a more complicated layout or design then there may be an additional charge.

Design Specifications - if you want to send a full design ready for printing the specifications are as follows:

  • Full document size, including bleed and trim area
    Small Cards - 142mm x 110mm (1677 x 1300 pixels)
    Large Cards - 219mm x 142mm (2592 x 1677 pixels)
  • Cut greetings card size (folded):
    Small Cards - 139mm x 107mm (1642 x 1264 pixels
    )
    Large Cards - 216mm x 139mm (2551 x 1642 pixels
    )
  • Trim area - please ensure that images and text are at least 3mm inside the cut dimensions of your design. Background photos and other background images or colours should extend to the outer edges of the document
  • Resolution - 300-600dpi
  • Optimum file size - not more than 10MB
  • Colour - CMYK four colour printing

Downloadable templates - we have templates in different formats that you can download and use to set up your cards or to check that your images are the correct size. You can find these on our templates page.

Please note that because of the time and work involved we can only supply a layout proof by email once you have placed an order. We do not supply one-off printed proofs.

Any questions? Please email us and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
