About greeting cards
Materials
Matte 14pt is a coated card with no shine, Gloss UV 14pt a coated card under a high-gloss UV coat, and Semi-gloss 14pt a card with a low sheen. Two cards are writable inside: coated outside, in gloss UV or semi-gloss, and uncoated inside, so a pen writes on it. Uncoated recycled 13pt has no coating, and 30% of it is post-consumer recycled paper. Every card is printed on one side or on both, and comes with a plain white envelope.
Sizes
Each size is the card folded. 4.25 x 5.5 in, from an 8.5 x 5.5 sheet, is a note card; 5 x 7 in, from a 10 x 7 sheet, the usual greeting card; and 5.5 x 8.5 in, from a letter sheet, a large card. A side fold opens like a book, and a top fold opens upward, so its front is wider than it is tall. Every paper is made in all six, each with an envelope its size.
Your file
Design it in the editor and the print file is made for you, at the sheet's full open size with the extra edge the cut needs: a sixteenth of an inch. Keep words an eighth of an inch inside the edge, and off the fold: the editor draws the fold and names each panel, marks the panel a top fold prints upside down, and the print check tells you if any words sit within an eighth of an inch of the fold. To use your own artwork, upload an image (PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF or SVG, up to 12 MB) and place it; a PDF is not taken. Before you pay, the print check also tells you if a picture is too small to print sharply, or if any words are smaller than the press can hold.
How long it takes
Printing takes 3 to 5 business days. Delivery comes after that; the Shipping page has the times.
