4OVER4 greeting cards come in several configurations. Standard folded cards print on gloss cover with matching A2 envelopes for everyday sending. 3D lenticular cards flip between images as they tilt. Majestic cards laminate and layer foil, embossing, and spot UV for a luxury feel, and kraft cards bring a natural, rustic texture. If you need something fully custom, check out Custom Projects for tailored sizing and materials.
Standard Greeting Cards
Folded cover cards on 14pt, 15pt, or 16pt gloss stock with scoring, folding, and matching white wove A2 envelopes for everyday sending.
3D Lenticular Greeting Cards
A 31pt lenticular lens creates a flip effect that changes as the card tilts, with two, three, or four flips top to bottom or left to right.
Majestic Greeting Cards
Silk, gloss, or velvet laminated 16pt stock with optional foil stamping, embossing, spot UV, edge painting, and die cutting for a luxury feel.

The right card depends on who opens it and why. Pick the style that suits the moment first, and every later choice gets easier. A lenticular flip earns a second look on a busy desk, a majestic card feels like a gift, and a kraft card reads as warm and handmade.

Wally makes the card do the talking
From blank stock to a card people keep
A printed greeting card creates a moment a text never will. Pick your stock, choose a finish from gloss to foil, drop in your art or a free template, and let the proof confirm it before it prints. Add matching A2 envelopes and the whole mailer is ready to send.
Order greeting cards →Who orders them
Who orders custom greeting cards, and why
Greeting cards are a smart tool for anyone who wants to stand out in a world drowning in digital noise. A printed card creates a moment and slows someone down, which is hard to replicate with a push notification. Here is how real people put 4OVER4 greeting cards to work.
Real estate agents
Send personalized closing-day cards to new homeowners. A branded card with a handwritten note turns a transaction into a relationship, and referrals follow.
Salon and spa owners
Mail birthday cards with a discount code inside. It is a small gesture that brings clients back through the door on a slow week.
Nonprofits
Send donor appreciation cards after a fundraising campaign. A printed thank-you on premium stock shows donors their gift was noticed.
Event planners
Use custom greeting cards as save-the-dates, RSVP enclosures, or day-of welcome notes tucked into gift bags.
Small business owners
Include a branded greeting card in every shipment. A short thanks for your order note is something customers actually keep.
Corporate marketing teams
Roll out seasonal client outreach at volume, where per-unit pricing drops sharply and the brand still feels personal.
We tuck a custom greeting card into every online order we ship. Customers post them on social media. It is the cheapest marketing we have ever done.
Design tips
Design tips that make your greeting cards stand out
A great greeting card starts with a great design. You do not need to be a graphic designer to pull it off, but a few smart choices go a long way, from the cover image to the resolution of your files.
Keep the cover simple
One strong image or a bold headline is enough. Cluttered covers get set aside, and clean covers get opened. Let the paper stock and finish carry some of the visual weight.
Leave room for a personal touch
Design the inside with white space for a handwritten message. If you are mailing hundreds, keep the printed line short and warm, because nobody wants to read a paragraph inside a card.
Use high-resolution images
Anything below 300 DPI looks fuzzy in print. If a photo looks great on screen but pixelated at full zoom, it is not print-ready. The <a href="/benefit/online-designer">Online Designer</a> flags resolution issues before you order.
Think about the envelope
The card arrives in an envelope first. Match the size and orientation of your greeting card to the A2 envelope for a polished unboxing moment.
Hold strong contrast
Dark ink on a light stock, or the reverse, keeps the message legible under any lighting. Soft tones on a busy cover disappear, so give your key line room to stand out.
I messed up my file dimensions on a holiday card order. The 4OVER4 support team caught it during file review and reached out before printing. It saved the whole batch.

Myth vs fact
What to know before you order greeting cards
Four myths about greeting cards, set straight, so you order the right card the first time and know exactly what each style can do.
Greeting cards are only for personal use.
Businesses use them for client appreciation, donor thank-yous, and packaging inserts. A printed card is a low-cost, high-impact touchpoint that a push notification cannot match.
A printed card costs too much to send in bulk.
Per-unit pricing drops fast at volume. Standard greeting cards run about 11 cents each at 4,000 and 4 cents each at 100,000, so a large send stays affordable.
You need a designer to make a good card.
You can start from a free template or build in the Online Designer, and every order includes free file review plus a digital proof before anything prints.
All greeting cards are basically the same.
A standard folded card, a 3D lenticular flip card, and a majestic laminated card with foil and embossing are very different products with different specs and finishes.

Upside & trade-offs
What a greeting card does well, and what to weigh
The honest pros and cons, so you know exactly where a greeting card shines and where a specialty finish or a photo cover needs a little planning before you commit.
Where greeting cards win
- Print on 60+ stocks, from gloss cover to soft uncoated and natural kraft
- Premium finishes like foil stamping, embossing, spot UV, and lamination
- Matching white wove A2 envelopes available on most greeting cards
- Short-run friendly, with per-unit pricing that drops sharply at volume
What to weigh first
- Specialty finishes like foil and lenticular cost more than a standard card
- A photo-heavy cover needs a 300 DPI file to print crisp at full size
- Folded cards ship flat or folded, so plan scoring for a clean crease
- Lenticular and majestic options take a little longer to set up than a basic card
Cards & envelopes
Start with the stock, then the finish
The feel of a card is the first thing a person notices. 4OVER4 greeting cards print on 14pt, 15pt, and 16pt gloss cover, plus soft uncoated and natural kraft stocks, so you can match the paper to the occasion. A thick soft-touch card says something different than a glossy, photo-heavy holiday mailer, and matching white wove A2 envelopes ship with most cards so the mailer arrives ready to send.
Finish is where a card earns a second look. Choose a standard finish or a high gloss UV coating, add scoring for a clean crease, and decide whether the card ships flat or folded to finished size. Every choice pulls from the live product configurator, so the specs you pick are the specs that print.
Standout effects
Effects that make a card get opened
When you want a card that moves, 3D lenticular greeting cards print on a 31pt lenticular lens that flips between images as the card tilts. Pick two, three, or four flips, running top to bottom or left to right, for a piece that behaves more like a small experience than a flat print.
For a luxury feel, majestic greeting cards laminate 16pt stock in silk, gloss, or velvet, then layer foil stamping, embossing, spot UV, edge painting, and die cutting. These finishes turn a simple card into something that feels expensive the moment it is held, which is exactly what high-value client and donor moments call for.
Design that lands
Design a card people keep
A great card starts with a simple cover. Lead with one image or a short headline, hold strong contrast so the message reads at a glance, and build artwork at 300 DPI so photos stay crisp. Leave room inside for a handwritten line, and let the free file review catch dimension and resolution issues before printing begins. Use the Online Designer to upload your own art or start from a template.
A card rarely travels alone. The same file discipline that makes a greeting card read clean carries across a full event or campaign kit, so it pairs naturally with invitation cards, large-format printed banners, and bound pieces like booklets. Working against a deadline? Same Day Printing covers rush orders without giving up quality.
