I was a little concerned about having my printing... I was a little concerned about having my printing done in the U.K. but Aura Print did a great job. The communication was good. The quality of their printing was much better than a popular American company I have been using. The product shipped and arrived quickly and was carefully packed. I recommend them.

Whether you are producing Christmas cards, artist collections, charity campaigns, wedding stationery or personalised folded cards, choosing the right paper stock can dramatically influence the customer experience. Premium materials can improve colour depth, create a more luxurious tactile finish and help your greeting cards stand out both online and on retail shelves. If you would like to compare coated, textured and uncoated materials in more detail, explore our guide to understanding gloss, silk and uncoated paper finishes.
What Types of Greeting Cards Can You Print?
We print a huge range of custom greeting cards, including birthday cards, thank you cards, wedding stationery, save the dates, baby announcement cards, Christmas cards, artist greeting cards, branded corporate greeting cards, and more.
While we have a minimum order quantity of 50 cards, some of our customers choose to create short-run personalised cards for friends and family, while others produce retail-ready greeting card ranges for Etsy shops, independent stores, craft fairs, and ecommerce businesses. We also regularly print promotional cards for brands looking to strengthen customer relationships through more personal direct mail campaigns.
Because every card is printed bespoke to your artwork, there’s complete flexibility over sizing, folding, finishes, and paper stocks.
If you’re looking for inspiration for business-focused designs, our guide to corporate greeting card styles for relationship building explores how brands use printed cards more strategically.
What is the Most Popular Greeting Card Size?
A6 greeting cards remain one of the most popular sizes because they’re compact, affordable to post, and are well-suited to everyday retail ranges. A5 greeting cards are another common choice, particularly for photo-based designs, luxury cards, and more premium retail cards where customers want additional writing space and a more substantial feel.
DL greeting cards are especially popular for corporate cards, event invitation cards, and promotional campaigns because of their slim, elegant proportions. We also print plenty of square greeting cards for artists and brands looking for something more proportional and less traditional.
If you’re comparing formats before preparing artwork, our paper size guide can help you explore common printing dimensions and layouts.
What Paper Works Best for Greeting Card Printing?
The best paper stock usually depends on the style of greeting card you’re creating.
Smooth silk stocks tend to work especially well for vibrant photography, colourful illustrations, and modern retail designs, while textured and uncoated stocks often suit more luxury, artistic, or handwritten-style cards. Recycled and kraft papers are also popular for rustic and environmentally conscious greeting cards.
If you’re comparing finishes and textures, our guide to gloss, silk or uncoated paper explains how different stocks affect both appearance and feel.
Do You Offer Greeting Cards on Recycled or Eco-Friendly Paper?
We do. Eco-friendly greeting cards have become increasingly popular over the last few years, particularly among artists, independent brands, charities, and environmentally conscious businesses.
Our recycled paper range includes recycled stocks, kraft, wheat, cannabis, and cotton papers, all creating very different visual finishes and textures. Most customers specifically choose these stocks because the natural feel becomes part of the design aesthetic rather than just an environmental decision.
It’s important to understand that artwork can appear slightly different on recycled or coloured stocks compared to bright white papers, particularly with lighter colours and photography.
If you’re exploring coloured and eco stocks, our guide on digital printing on coloured paper explains how different material colours affect printed artwork.
Can You Print Greeting Cards From My Artwork or Photography?
Definitely!
We work with loads of artists, photographers, designers, and illustrators who choose to turn their own work into printed greeting card collections.
High-resolution artwork and photographs produce the most reliable results, especially for photography-heavy cards, illustrated ranges, and fine art greeting cards, where colour accuracy and detail reproduction are especially important. We also regularly print cards featuring children’s artwork, paintings, hand-drawn illustrations, and scanned physical media.
Greeting cards are one of the most popular ways for artists to monetise existing artwork because they’re relatively affordable to produce while still feeling highly personal and giftable. To learn the ins and outs of turning your art into a side hustle, we’ve put together a helpful guide to starting your own greeting card business.
If you’re preparing image-based designs, learn how to set up photos for print before placing your order.
Are Matching Envelopes Available for Greeting Cards?
Yes - we offer coloured envelopes in a wide range of sizes to match different greeting card formats and aesthetics.
Many customers choose coloured envelopes, custom printed envelopes, or luxury envelopes with printed liners to create a more cohesive final presentation. Envelope choice becomes especially important for artist greeting cards, luxury retail cards, and corporate greeting cards where an accompanying envelope is expected.
How Can I Make My Greeting Cards Feel More Nicer?
The cards that feel most premium usually combine great design, quality paper stock, and thoughtful finishing touches.
Heavier stocks, quirky textures, luxury laminates, foil details, and thoughtful typography all contribute to how professional and gift-worthy your cards feel. Small finishing details often make a much bigger difference with greeting cards because they’re designed to garner emotional reactions rather than simply saying ‘happy birthday’.
Many luxury greeting card brands also use premium envelopes and heavier packaging to reinforce that higher-end feel.
If you’re exploring higher-end finishes, our guide on maximising profits with luxury greeting cards explains some of the production choices commonly used in premium card ranges.
How Does Your Greeting Card Design Service Work?
If you choose “supply brief and we design” during checkout, our in-house design team can help create your greeting card artwork professionally before production begins.
Many customers come to us with rough ideas, sketches, photographs, branding assets, handwritten concepts, or Pinterest boards rather than finished artwork. Once your order has been placed, you can reply to your confirmation email with your design brief and any reference materials, and your assigned designer will begin preparing the first proof.
We regularly help customers with everything from artist greeting cards and business mailers through to personalised birthday cards, event stationery, and full retail card ranges.
If you’re unsure what information to include, our guide on how to write a design brief explains how to structure your ideas more clearly for our designers.
How Soon Can My Greeting Cards Be Printed and Delivered?
Production times for greeting cards can vary depending on the quantity ordered, finishing options, and whether you’re supplying print-ready artwork or using our in-house design service.
Standard production time is typically 2 working days from artwork approval, although more specialist finishes such as metallic foil and die-cutting may increase turnaround time. Customers working on tighter deadlines can also select our rush production service at checkout to reduce production time further, although we recommend contacting our team first to ensure this service is available for your order.
Delivery speed will then depend on your location within the UK, though we aim to supply a next-day delivery service on all mainland orders. We encourage customers ordering greeting cards for events, Christmas campaigns, product launches, or retail restocks to place their order slightly earlier during busy seasonal periods to avoid unnecessary pressure and delats close to launch dates.
The easiest way to get an accurate turnaround estimate is by configuring your greeting card order online, where live production and delivery estimates are shown before checkout.
We print a huge range of custom greeting cards, including birthday cards, thank you cards, wedding stationery, save the dates, baby announcement cards, Christmas cards, artist greeting cards, branded corporate greeting cards, and more.
While we have a minimum order quantity of 50 cards, some of our customers choose to create short-run personalised cards for friends and family, while others produce retail-ready greeting card ranges for Etsy shops, independent stores, craft fairs, and ecommerce businesses. We also regularly print promotional cards for brands looking to strengthen customer relationships through more personal direct mail campaigns.
Because every card is printed bespoke to your artwork, there’s complete flexibility over sizing, folding, finishes, and paper stocks.
