Keep the Holiday Spirit Alive Even Through Great Distances

While holiday greetings can be made online or over the phone, nothing beats the personalized touch of custom holiday cards with handwritten notes. These customized cards show the recipients that you care enough to take the time to personally greet them and wish them well. Whether you’re sending holiday cards to family members, potential clients, or loyal customers, the gesture is sure to be an unforgettable one to warm the spirits. Here are a few tips to consider to make sure your message lands the right way:

• Get the holiday right – Take the extra effort to be considerate and know what holidays your recipient celebrates. While this is not always required, it does convey consideration and respect on the part of the sender. Nevertheless, you can always count on a universal greeting like ‘Happy Holidays’ or ‘Season’s Greetings’.


• Keep it professional – If you’re sending holiday cards to clients, customers, and vendors, keeping it short and sweet never fails. Also, remember to keep personal information to a minimum.


• Be sincere – It's important to strike a balance between concision and adding a personal touch to messages. However, it never hurts to convey sincerity with a quick personal note as opposed to just signing your name below a generic salutation. Adding that extra touch sends a message to the recipient that you’re reaching out and spreading good tidings.

Print With Premium Materials

Custom holiday cards come in two (2) material options: 13 pt. cardstock and 14 pt. cardstock. What’s the difference?

The number determines the thickness you will want to choose for your printing needs. The higher the point, the thicker the cardstock.

13 pt. matte recycled cardstock is made with 100% recycled paper. It is lightweight yet durable for card printing. This material comes with a smooth, matte coating that lends an elegant finish.

14 pt. cardstock is a popular choice for holiday card printing. This material is stiffer than regular paper, but more flexible than paper board and durable for back-to-back printing. Available in uncoated, gloss, high-gloss, and matte options.

If you’re not sure which material works best for your print project, you can request a free sample kit. The kit contains our most popular print products and cardstock materials. It also includes information about sizing and folding to help you decide which customization options suit your requirements.
