Here are some of our Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Can you print on the inside??
    Yes, both digital and offset greeting cards can be printed in color or black on the inside, however, the Digital Greeting Card Special pricing includes only printing in black. For Greeting Cards with color on both sides, look at our Custom Digital Greeting Cards, where you can also choose different stocks and use variable data (mail merge), to customize them with your mailing list.  ?
  • Can I get a stock that is glossy on both sides??
    Yes, but most customer want to write on the inside, so a two-sided gloss coated stock is not a good fit for them. 
  • ?Can I have a border or margins on my card??
    Yes, but they are not recommended. For a clean, consistent look, we face trim the cards in stacks after they are folded. Because the folded paper does not lay completely flat, you may notice variations up to 1/8" in the size of the card size and resulting variations in the margin/border.
