Materials for Greeting Cards
Greeting cards need a thick paper for various reasons: stability, easy handling and to ensure a high-quality look. For this reason, we recommend using at least 250gsm - ideally 300gsm silk or gloss finish paper. Creasing is always included for our greeting card products. This prevents the ink from flaking and stops the fold breaking. You can find other card options in our card products overview page.
Silk/Gloss Finish Paper
170 | 250 | 300 | 400gsm
This paper is finished with a synthetic silk or gloss coating. This creates a more finished, smoother and stronger surface, enabling high reproduction and better print quality, particularly in the case of pictures and contours.
Recycled Paper
250gsm
Recycled paper consists of 100% reused paper. As well as saving wood resources, in comparison with conventional paper production, more than 70% of the energy and water used is saved. In short: Recycled paper significantly protects the environment.
Natural Paper
250gsm
All paper that is not coated during its manufacturing process is known as natural paper. So, our natural paper is an uncoated paper, which gives products a good level of density and a premium look and feel.
Chromo board
300 | 450gsm
Chromo board is coated with a silk matt finish on both sides and has a smooth surface. It is particularly robust and tear-resistant, making it suitable for high-quality products or advertising materials that require prolonged use. As the surface is coated on both sides, the paper is not writable or stampable.

Use spot colours if you need precise colour reproduction for your project. You may consider using spot colours for your company logo or colours, for example. That way you can be sure the print will produce the exact colour shade you are looking for. We can print spot colours on our 170, 250 or 300gsm materials.
Finishing options transform greeting cards into real highlights – while protecting them from dirt and wear, a finishing coating can significantly improve the overall feel of your product. Soft touch lamination is ideal for creating a satin-soft surface with high contrast effects. The soft touch surface feels satin-smooth in your hands. Use our glossy spot UV coating if you want to make colours and motifs shine in reflective light. Meanwhile, matt finishing significantly reduces light reflections and protects against visible fingerprints. Use finishing coatings to highlight individual elements such as logos, images or text. Our spot 3D UV coating also highlights selected elements of your product while creating an added 3D tactile effect. Spot 3D UV coating is exclusively available for A5 greeting cards in 300gsm silk finish paper.
UV Coating
Enrich your printed products with UV lacquer and give your order a high-quality touch. Thanks to modern finishing methods, your product is highly resilient and resistant to external influences.
Lamination
Give your product an elegant look and high-quality feel. Emphasise your quality standards with lamination. It enhances the colours and protects the product against external influences.
Spot Colours: HKS & Pantone
Create a high level of recognition with individualised spot colours. Spot colours with HKS or Pantone achieve a unique spectrum of colours and a faultless representation.

Whether a greeting card or an invitation, personalised greeting cards designed by you are great for customers, business associates and staff as well as your nearest and dearest.
Emails are very soon deleted because they lack emotion and you can’t touch them. Not only are greeting cards personal but they’re decorative too.

That makes printing custom greeting cards perfect for small events such as company parties as for commercial greeting card vendors with a large retail distribution. Professionally printed greeting cards by SAXOPRINT can be used in many different ways to make a positive and lasting impression on your customers, business associates, staff or guests. A few examples:
- Christmas cards
- Birthday cards

We love to show off our large paper, fold and finish selection and have many different sizes and formats for you to choose from. The print samples also clearly demonstrate the difference between paper with and without UV coating. Colours appear more brilliant, and the feel of the paper is unique, which results in an eye-catching custom printed greeting card. The cards can be coated on one side or both sides. Folding is already included in the price of the custom printed 4-sided cards and creasing is an optional extra for 170gsm papers. Of course, we can also leave them unfolded if that's what suits your needs.
