Essex Banners provides exceptional quality custom printed greeting cards perfect for every occasion, from holidays and thank-yous to promotional announcements. Designed to help your message truly stand out, these cards are expertly half-folded and creased to prevent cracking and ensure a professional finish. You can select popular sizes like A6 and choose premium stock options such as 350gsm Silk, which is both durable and ideal for vibrant color reproduction. Each order, like the A6 4pp cards, can be enhanced with 100gsm standard envelopes as a finishing option, providing a complete and polished package. Furthermore, options for lamination, Spot UV, and Foiling allow for maximum personalization, ensuring your custom printed greeting cards convey elegance and quality with every send.

Create Impact with Custom Printed Greeting Cards

Essex Banners’ custom printed greeting cards offer the perfect platform to convey heartfelt messages, professional announcements, or seasonal promotions with a touch of elegance and personal flair. Unlike generic shop-bought cards, our printed options allow you to fully control your design, message, and finish, ensuring the final product perfectly reflects your brand’s identity or personal style. Whether you are a business looking for unique holiday cards, an artist selling custom stationery, or an individual planning a wedding, our cards transform a simple piece of paper into a powerful piece of communication.

The quality of your greeting card speaks volumes, which is why we offer a broad range of premium materials. You can choose from popular sizes, including A5, A6, and square formats, all expertly creased and half-folded to create the traditional four-page card (4pp). We use durable, professional stocks such as 350gsm Silk, which provides a smooth, vivid canvas for color photos and intricate designs, or 350gsm Uncoated, which offers a natural, writable surface for personal signatures. By marrying beautiful design with FSC-certified, eco-friendly stocks, your custom printed greeting cardscombine great quality with responsible printing.

Personalise Your Perfect Finish

Beyond the paper, the finishing options are what truly make your custom printed greeting cards stand out. Utilizing high-definition digital and offset lithographic printing, we ensure crisp text and smooth color gradients. For durability and visual depth, you can add lamination: choose Gloss for high-shine color pop, Matt for a sophisticated non-reflective look, or luxurious Soft-Touch Velvet for an unforgettable tactile experience.

For those seeking to truly elevate their stationery, we offer premium embellishments. Imagine your logo shining brightly with metallic Foiling or specific text highlighted with a clear, raised Spot UV gloss effect. These high-end finishes, which can be applied to laminated stocks, guarantee your card leaves a memorable impression before the recipient even reads the message inside. To complete your package, every order includes 100gsm standard white envelopes, with the option to upgrade to thicker 120gsm luxury envelopes.

Choosing Essex Banners means selecting speed, flexibility, and quality. You can order in bulk for major campaigns or smaller batches for seasonal use, with flexible turnaround times that even include express options when you are in a rush. Stop sending standard messages; start sending stunning, personalized custom printed greeting cards that your recipients will cherish.

File Format

File format must be either PNG or PDF.

Artwork Size & Ratio

Artwork must be sized to the banner size required or an equivalent ratio (e.g., 2:1). This is to limit any resizing of your banner, which could lead to stretching and pixelation.

Resolution

The ideal resolution of the artwork will be greater than 150dpi, but a lower resolution may be acceptable. We will double-check this for you before it goes to print.

Purchasing Multiple Items in One Order

If you are supplying multiple files for an order, please email us with a breakdown. This needs to include your order number and a description of which files are for which product. Where necessary, please specify quantities.
