What is matte finish greeting cards printed on?
Matte Finish Greeting Cards print on 14pt cover stock.
What sizes are available?
5×7 (closed) is the standard greeting-card size — opens to 10×7 with the fold. 4.25×5.5 (closed) is the A2 invitation-card format — opens to 8.5×5.5. Both ship with matching envelopes.
How should I prep my print file?
Build at the open layout size (double the closed width). Include the fold position as a centred dashed line — the press scores on that line before folding. 0.125" bleed on every outer edge; safe zone 0.125" inside the trim and 0.25" from the fold. Export as press-ready PDF at 300 dpi in CMYK.
Are envelopes included?
Yes — matching envelopes ship with the cards as standard. Envelope colour matches the card paper where possible. For specialty stocks (kraft, pearl, foil), the envelope is the standard bright white unless otherwise specified.
Can I print on the inside?
Yes — both inside panels print full-color at no upcharge. Inside-left and inside-right are separate layout regions. Many designers leave one inside panel blank for hand-written messages and use the other for printed content.
How long does production take?
Standard greeting cards run 4–7 business days from file approval, plus shipping. Larger quantities don't meaningfully extend production because press setup dominates short runs.
