Cards

It has been possible to send greeting cards internationally since around 1880. While those postcards and invitations were still often hand-painted, today they can be individually printed in your own design by a card printing company. The custom-printed greeting cards and invitations offered in our UK online print shop are available in a large selection of formats to suit your individual design. Examples of the cards we can print for you are: postcards, bonus cards, birthday cards, wedding cards, place cards, Christmas cards, cards for baptisms and christenings, or cards for confirmations and communions. Businesses especially benefit from the sales promotional effect of printed business cards from an expert card printing print shop.

Despite the fact that they are machine produced and printed, custom-printed cards haven't lost any of their inherent charm. They can be individually and personally designed, and complemented with a handwritten note. The bespoke cards available from our online print shop can:

• be printed on one or both sides.
• be ordered online with many different colour modes.
• be produced on many different types of paper in various grammatures.
• be printed in matt or glossy with your own images.
• be produced even in small print runs.

Print creative postcards – increase your customer base

Free cards and advertising postcards can often be found in pubs, cafés or fitness studios, and visitors can help themselves. They are usually set out close to entrances or exits, or in lavatories. The standard A6 format can be displayed on special postcard stands at eye level, and their funny texts or provocative graphics practically shout, “pick me up!”.

Your company logo or advertisement should be placed only on the reverse side of the printed cards in order to increase response rate – i.e. the number of cards taken. Your creativity has no limits!

A catchy design can even turn them into collector cards. The more simple the design on the front side (economical use of words or graphics), the more curious you will make people, and the more people will take your printed postcards home with them. The reverse side can be used to promote your advertising message and make your postcards suitable for mailing. We recommend having us print this type of custom postcard on special postcard carton so that they can be written on and don't get kinks.

Marketing postcards are a popular print advertising alternative to traditional flyers. They are versatile, can be put to use at low cost and get lots of attention. They are simply effective. At SAXOPRINT, you can order high-quality printed postcards online and have us print them, for example on 350gsm postcard board. Environmental protection is important to our online print shop, and we are proud to be doing our part by offering CO2 neutral printing and delivery.

Print greeting cards with a personal message

High-quality, perfectly printed greeting cards leave a lasting impression on their recipients. Whether they are Christmas cards or invitations, custom greeting cards are great for clients, business associates and staff, as well as for friends and family. E-mails lack a personal touch and often get quickly deleted. They also can't be put out on display for others to see. Not only are greeting cards personal, they’re decorative too! Many customers put their printed Christmas cards, custom cards and invitations out on their desk or on a pin-wall. To make sure your individualised greeting cards are well received, we at SAXOPRINT offer first-rate printing and outstanding card designs. We understand that they are all about individuality. Your custom greeting cards can be printed on one, two or four sides depending on their purpose.

For invitations to an event or a business launch, we suggest folded cards. When creating your layout, your design should have the main message and any emotive graphics or images on the front or inside of your custom printed greeting cards. That will make sure your card hits its mark. Use our free print sample booklet to help you select the paper or card stock that is just right for you.
