Holiday Cards

We've engineered our 5x7 flat cards and folded cards, particularly for custom holiday cards, greeting cards, party invites, Christmas cards, Hannakuh cards, and photo cards. Printkeg prints Glossy and Matte cards "full bleed" or "borderless," yet we will preserve margins if present within the original artwork. Graphic designers, parents, and business owners across the country take advantage of our amazingly cheap prices, rich print quality, and durable card selections each day.

More sizes are available in our invitations and notecards section.

Holiday Card Options

1 or 2 sides - Printing on the front and back is considered one side. Printing on the inside requires two-sided printing.

Flat or folded - A flat card is a simple 5x7 card. A folded card is actually a 10x7 card scored and folded in half.

Gloss or Matte - Gloss and matte cards have distinguished properties better described further down on this page.

Sizes - Our holiday cards are 5x7, but other sizes can be found in our invitation section.

Art Specifications for Printing Custom Holiday Cards

We made a list and checked it twice. If the following art guidelines seem like Yulish language, try not to let that stop you from ordering holiday cards this year. Our warm and delightful elves, or helpers, place love and care into all artwork before printing begins. A North Pole representative will reach out to you if we cannot resolve any challenges we discover./p>

• Try to prepare your art files with 10.25" x 7.25" (spread) or 5.127" x 7.25" (individual sides) dimensions. Keeping valuable components at least 0.25 inches away from the four edges would be nice. It would be naughty to cram that information right on the edges.
• Review your quality settings and ensure you work in a 300 dpi space. Sadly, many popular graphics apps default to a web-quality 72dpi (Adobe Photoshop) or a modest-quality 132dpi (Procreate). Raising the resolution settings to 300 dpi or higher before you start creating is a magical step in the right direction for quality.
• You better watch out! We fancy PDF or JPG files. Our artists also accept other files such as PNG, EPS, and TIF. We do not open DOC, PUB, or PPT files. Thankfully, most Microsoft products allow you to export your file as a PDF.
• You better watch out! Try visualizing your digital art in CMYK color mode. We convert all artwork for holiday cards to CMYK. Many designers accidentally work in RGB, but this color mode is primarily for digital media. You better not pout; I'm telling you why. The CMYK conversion can lead to softened colors or several color shifts. If this is your first time printing cards with us, we recommend ordering a PDF proof.
• For goodness sake, you do not need to provide us with trim or crop marks along with your design. The elves will demand that you remove them before moving forward.

Digital Proofs Are Nice

Although we do not require digital proofs for most 5x7 print projects, our graphic team quickly inspects all files for quality purposes. If we see apparent problems (resolution, bleed, quality, etc.), we will email you a PDF demonstration beforehand, ensuring your prints look great at the end of the process. If you would like to see a PDF digital proof before printing, please indicate this in the "Messages / Deadlines" area.

A digital proof may delay an order by one business day.

Premium Card Choices

Gloss Card - Glossy cards showcase a light satin shine that is sleek and refined.

Matte Card - This smooth cardstock facilitates easy writing along with a classic character.

Textured Card is also available in our invitation section.
