Smooth coated stocks work beautifully for bold illustrations and photography, while textured and uncoated papers create a softer, more tactile presentation.

Of course. If you’re not sure which paper stock to choose, we can help you narrow it down based on your artwork, your budget, and how you plan to use the cards.
For bright, colorful, or photo-heavy greeting cards, we’ll usually point you toward silk stocks because they help keep the print sharp and vibrant. If you want something softer or more natural, uncoated papers are a better fit for artist cards, handwritten-style designs, and classic folded greeting cards. If you’re printing cards to sell online or in stores, choosing a thicker stock between 12pt and 18pt can also help the finished cards feel more sturdy and retail-ready.
If you’re still comparing options, our guide to gloss, silk, or uncoated paper breaks down how each stock changes the final look and feel of your print.
We print greeting cards in a range of popular sizes, including 6x4", 8x4", 5.5x4.25", 7x5", and 8.5x5.5".
Smaller 5.5x4.25" cards are a really popular choice for everyday retail cards and thank you teacher cards because they’re easy to mail and display. Larger 7x5" and 8.5x5.5" formats give you more room for photography, detailed artwork, and baby announcement cards where the visuals are the main focus. Long 8x4" cards are often used for modern layouts, invitation cards, and business mailers.
The best size usually comes down to how much room your artwork needs and how you want the finished card to feel once opened.
Yes - Aura Print can add metallic foil to greeting cards if you want certain parts of the design to stand out.
Foil works best when it’s used with intention, such as on lettering, borders, logos, or small illustrated details. Gold and silver are classic choices, while holographic and colored foils can work well for holiday cards, artist collections, and branded greeting cards.
We’ll apply foil based on the artwork you supply, so it’s important that the foil areas are set up clearly before production. If you’re not sure whether your design is suitable, our team can check your files and flag any obvious issues before printing.
If you’re setting up foil artwork yourself, our guide on how to check your foil printing proof covers some of the most common things people miss before going to print. And while you’re here, why not learn how to maximize profits with luxury greeting cards?
Absolutely. Greeting cards are still one of the easiest ways to make a business feel more personal.
A lot of brands use them for holiday mailers, packaging inserts, customer thank you cards, launch announcements, and relationship-building campaigns because printed cards tend to feel far more thoughtful than a generic email. Corporate greeting cards are especially popular around the holidays, but they’re just as useful year-round for small businesses wanting to thank their clients for a successful quarter.
If you’re looking for ideas, our guide to corporate greeting card styles for relationship building shares a few ways businesses are using custom cards more creatively.
Yes - we can help turn your artwork into professionally printed greeting cards that are ready for you to sell through your own shop, market stall, or retail partners.
This is a great route if you’re an artist, illustrator, or photographer looking to create a product range from work you’ve already made. You can start with a smaller run from 50 cards, test which designs people respond to, and then reorder stronger sellers later.
We’ll print the cards and ship the full order to you, so you stay in control of how they’re packaged, priced, displayed, and sold. That’s especially useful if you’re building a brand around your artwork rather than just printing a one-off design.
If you’re figuring out how to turn your art into greeting cards, we’ve got you covered.
If you’re questioning whether the artwork on your cards will look different from your artwork on-screen, then the answer is likely yes. This catches people out all the time, especially if you’re printing photography or colorful artwork.
Screens display color using light, while printers use toner or ink on paper, so the final result will always look slightly different compared to a phone or monitor. Paper stock changes things, too. Uncoated and eco paper stocks tend to soften colors a bit, while coated stocks usually appear brighter and sharper.
The biggest color shifts normally happen with very dark artwork, heavily saturated colors, or files designed in RGB instead of CMYK.
If you want to understand why this happens before ordering, our guide on print vs screen colors explains it in a much more visual way.
Most professionally printed greeting cards are printed on thicker card stocks, somewhere between 12pt and 18pt.
If you’re creating cards to sell, heavier stocks usually feel more substantial and gift-worthy, especially for holiday card printing and artist-designed card collections. Lighter stocks can work for postcards and inserts, but greeting cards generally feel better when they have a bit more rigidity to them. After all, you want them to stand strong on the mantel for as long as possible!
If you’re comparing thicknesses, our guide on thickness of paper in PT explains how paper weights are measured in commercial printing.
We sure can!
At Aura Print, it’s up to you whether you supply your finished artwork or collaborate with one of our in-house designers to create your artwork for you. If you send us your print-ready design, our pre-press team will have a glance to ensure everything looks OK before sending your final proof across for approval. If anything looks off, you’ll be informed immediately.
If you want us to take on the design burden for you, simply hit the ‘Supply Brief & We Design’ option at checkout, await your email confirmation, and respond with a design brief. From there, you’ll be assigned a designer who will work tirelessly to ensure your design is perfect before anything goes to print.
If you’re supplying artwork yourself, our guide on how to check your artwork for print is worth reading before exporting your files.
Printed greeting cards are still incredibly popular, especially for occasions where people want something that feels more personal than a WhatsApp message or an email.
That’s a big reason why artist greeting cards, holiday card printing, baby announcement cards, and custom stationery continue to do so well online and in retail stores. Physical cards tend to stick around on shelves, desks, fireplaces, and refrigerators far longer than digital messages do.
People also seem to value printed products more now because they feel intentional. A well-designed greeting card still has a completely different impact compared to a quick text or social media post.
Eco-friendly greeting cards have become a huge focus for artists, small businesses, and stationery brands looking to reduce waste and avoid heavily plastic-coated products.
We offer a range of recycled and specialty paper options that work really well for environmentally conscious card collections. Depending on the stock you choose, eco papers can create anything from a clean white finish to a more natural, textured appearance.
If sustainability is important to your brand or artwork, our guide on choosing sustainability and exploring our eco-friendly printing options explains more about the eco-friendly stocks we have available.
Of course. If you’re not sure which paper stock to choose, we can help you narrow it down based on your artwork, your budget, and how you plan to use the cards.
