Greeting Card Printing - It's Easy!

Greeting card printing can be used for numerous occasions such as corporate events, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, etc and are a thoughtful way to show your appreciation to your customers or simply keep in touch.

 

If we take greeting card design in its simplest format all you need is a great photo and some words. When do we send most cards? Christmas.  The quickest and easiest route to a personalised card – a lovely photograph of a snow scene or festive setting and you are more than half way there. If you don’t have the technical savvy to add a message to the front of the card (ask yourself first if it really needs one, it might be obvious what it is all about) just supply the words and ask your greeting card printer to sort it out for you.  Most will do this for a small charge.

Enter the realm of the graphic designer. These mysterious creatures have the ability to read your mind and turn your ideas in to images. Many greeting card printers will have some tame designers they can call on; at A Local Printer we have our own design team in situ for this very purpose.

 

Before you start your communication with a designer it is crucial that you have some idea of how you want your card to look.  The font style will also be key in achieving the finished product that you want so a good browse through Google images or online scrapbooks will give you plenty of food for thought.

 

 

After you take the plunge to have your own greeting cards printed it might be worthwhile thinking about things other than putting ink on the paper.  For example, an eco friendly printer might be important to you; printing and design under one roof can be beneficial too; clear pricing policies including a fixed design cost, free delivery and proofs helps with budgeting whilst having real people to talk to ensure a friendly and communicative service.
