Custom Greeting Cards With Your Photo or Text — common questions

Should I choose a flat or a folded custom greeting card?

A flat card is one printed panel, quick to read and sent in the envelope it comes with. A folded card opens like a book, so the front can be all photo and a longer message goes inside. Pick flat for a photo announcement and folded for a birthday, a wedding or a sympathy note.

Do custom greeting cards come with envelopes?

Most do, flat and folded alike. For any card on this page, check its own product page before ordering so you know whether to source envelopes separately.

What is the difference between one-sided and two-sided greeting cards?

A one-sided card prints the front only and leaves the back plain for a handwritten greeting. A two-sided card prints both faces, so the back can carry a second photo, the family's names or a short year in review.

Can one pack of custom greeting cards carry different photos?

Yes. The multi-design greeting cards come as a pack of five made for several designs in one order, which suits a run of thank-you notes or a card for each grandparent. For one design sent to a whole list, the larger packs of ten, thirty or fifty go further.

Is a flat greeting card the same as a postcard?

They share a shape, a single printed panel, but a flat greeting card here usually arrives with an envelope and travels sealed, keeping the message private, while a postcard is addressed and stamped on its own back.

How do I keep text from being cut off a custom greeting card?

Keep names, dates and faces inside the safe area marked on the template and away from the fold, and let backgrounds run past the trim line. Cards are trimmed after printing within a small tolerance, so anything placed right on the edge can lose a sliver on some copies.
