What We Print
Whether you’re selling at a craft fair, fulfilling a wholesale order, or sending personal cards from your studio, the same range is open to you — with a minimum order of just one.
300gsm
A bright, very white card with excellent print quality on both sides. The patented coating gives outstanding lightfastness — ideal for fine illustration and crisp graphic work.
300gsm
High-gloss finish on the front, light matt on the reverse. The most vibrant of the three — brilliant for photography and richly coloured artwork that benefits from contrast and saturation.
324gsm
An acid-free, archival-quality stock made from virgin pulp. Soft to the touch, matt in appearance, with brilliant colour reproduction. The card to choose when you want it to feel like a small print.
Cards in landscape, portrait, square or tentfold — plus postcards, bookmarks and business cards.
The Hand-Finishing
Every card we print passes through hands before it’s packed. Trimming, creasing, quality checks — not bulk-line work, but the same care we’d give a giclée print. It’s the part of the job we believe in most.
You’ll choose your envelope colour and decide how each card is presented — loose, sleeved, or sticker-sealed for a sleeve-free finish.
A note on process: greeting cards are printed CMYK on card stock — a different process to our archival fine art giclées, and a different website (custom-printed-cards.co.uk) which uses its own login. The hand-finishing care, however, is exactly the same.
Pricing
Mixed sizes and designs all count toward the total — print one of each from a new collection and the discount tier still applies to the whole order.
Live pricing for any combination of stock, size, envelope and sleeve is shown in the calculator on custom-printed-cards.co.uk.
