Which card should I choose?

260gsm art card is coated on both sides, so colours and photos print sharply. It comes with matt lamination on the outside, which protects the cover from scuffs in the post and leaves the inside unlaminated. Pick it for fully printed cards. Order from 300 cards up to 300,000.

230gsm ivory card is uncoated with a warm natural white surface, and it isn’t laminated. Pens write on it cleanly, so it’s the right choice when someone will sign each card or write a personal message inside. Order from 200 cards up to 10,000.

Choosing envelope colours

Metallic red and yellow are popular for Chinese New Year. Silver and blue suit corporate Christmas cards, and black works for formal occasions. Choose the envelope quantity to match your card order.

Artwork setup

  • Supply artwork at the full open size, 170 x 230mm, with the fold line marked.
  • Add 3mm bleed on all sides. Our bleed guide explains why.
  • Keep text and logos at least 5mm away from the fold line, so nothing cracks or disappears into the crease.
  • Check which way up each panel is. The front cover and the back of the card sit side by side on the same face of the sheet.
  • Work in CMYK at 300 DPI and keep total ink coverage at or under 240%. Outline fonts and embed images.

Plan for festive seasons

Production is 5 to 7 working days after your artwork is confirmed. Demand for Chinese New Year and Christmas cards peaks in December and January, so order 3 to 4 weeks before you plan to send them. That leaves time for proofing, signing and posting.

Delivery and collection

Collect from us at Ubi, or choose delivery at checkout. Standard delivery arrives 1 to 3 working days after your order is ready, same-day delivery is available, and delivery is free on orders over $100.

Frequently asked questions

Do the cards come folded?

No. They’re scored and supplied flat. The score line makes folding by hand quick and clean.

Can I write on the cards?

Yes. The uncoated ivory card is the best choice for handwriting. The inside of the art card isn’t laminated, but it’s a coated surface, so test your pen on it first.

What’s the minimum order?

300 cards on art card, or 200 on ivory card.
