Why Send Printed Cards in a Digital World?
An email gets deleted in a second. A real card in the mailbox gets opened, read, and often set up on a desk or the fridge. That is why a holiday card or a thank-you card from your business means so much. It shows you took the time. For a business, that small moment builds the kind of trust that brings people back and gets them talking about you.
Invitations and announcements work the same way. A thick, beautiful card tells guests your event matters, whether it is a grand opening, a client party, a wedding, or a new baby. People keep the good ones. Once someone gets your card, they may look you up online, so make sure they can find you. Here is why a business might not show up on Google.
Types of Greeting Cards and Invitations We Print
Here is what we make, split into folded greeting cards and flat invitations and announcements. Each one has a short “best for” note to help you choose.
Folded Greeting Cards
Holiday and Thank-You Cards
Full color cards that fold in half, on thick card stock with a gloss, matte, or uncoated finish. Six sizes, each with matching envelopes.
Best for: Client holiday cards and thank-you notes.
Raised Foil Cards
Gold, silver, or rainbow foil that is raised up off the card so you can feel it. It is the fanciest card we make.
Best for: Top clients, realtors, and luxury brands.
Raised Gloss Cards
A clear, shiny coating that stands up off the card on the parts you pick, like your logo or a pattern. It looks wet and feels bumpy.
Best for: Congratulations, anniversaries, and new babies.
Soft-Touch Cards
A thick card with a soft, velvety coating. People run their fingers over it before they even open it.
Best for: Spas, salons, and anniversary cards.
Kraft Paper Cards
Heavy brown kraft paper for a warm, rustic look, with matching kraft envelopes. White ink helps your colors stay bright.
Best for: Thanksgiving, holidays, and handmade brands.
Gift Card Holder Cards
Small slits inside the card hold a gift card in place, so it does not fall out when the card is opened.
Best for: Employee thank-yous and client rewards.
Natural and Linen Cards
Warm cream natural paper or a fine woven linen texture. Both are easy to write a personal note in with any pen.
Best for: Employee cards, retirement, and sympathy.
Invitations and Announcements
Painted Edge Cards
An extra thick card with the edges painted in a bright color or metallic. Pick from 17 edge colors to match your brand or theme.
Best for: Grand openings, weddings, and VIP events.
Pearl Invitations
Shimmery pearl paper that glows in the light, with matching pearl envelopes. Rounded corners are an option.
Best for: Save-the-dates, weddings, and showers.
Soft-Touch Announcements
Flat cards with the same velvety feel as our soft-touch greeting cards. Photos look rich and colors look deep.
Best for: Birth announcements and party invitations.
Round Corner Cards
Flat cards with soft rounded corners for a friendly, finished look. Comes on natural, pearl, or thick white card stock.
Best for: Store openings, sales, and holiday events.
Clear Mini Cards
Tiny 2.5 inch square cards on clear plastic with rounded corners. Fun to tuck into gift bags or hand out at a party.
Best for: Gift tags, party favors, and handouts.

Card Tips That Make People Smile
Order Holiday Cards Early
Order by early November so your cards land before the holiday rush. Cards that arrive after New Year’s get less attention.
Sign Them by Hand
A printed card with a short handwritten note and a real signature means much more than a printed name alone.
Mind Square Envelopes
Square envelopes look great, but they cost extra to mail. If you are mailing a lot, a standard size can save you money.
Proof Names Twice
Read every name and date out loud before you approve. A typo on an invitation is the one mistake everyone notices.
Your card should send people somewhere that turns them into customers. If your website or Google listing needs help, our digital marketing team can fix that. Mailing your cards? The Postal Service explains envelope sizes and postage, including why square envelopes cost more.

Greeting Card and Invitation Questions
Here are answers to the questions we hear most.
How much do custom greeting cards cost?
It depends on the size, the paper, any special touch like foil, and how many you order. The more you order, the less each card costs. Text or call Markit Media at 480.245.4287 and a real person will send you an exact price.
Do your cards come with envelopes?
Yes. Our greeting cards and announcement cards come with matching envelopes. Pearl, natural, and kraft cards come with envelopes in the same paper.
What is the difference between a greeting card and an announcement card?
A greeting card folds in half, like a store-bought card, so you have room inside for a message. An announcement card is one flat card, printed on one or both sides. Flat cards work great for invitations and save-the-dates.
What size greeting cards do you print?
Our most popular size folds to 5 x 7 inches and fits an A7 envelope. We also print smaller cards that fit A2 and A6 envelopes, and square cards.
What is raised foil?
Raised foil is shiny gold, silver, or rainbow foil that sits up off the card so you can feel it with your finger. It makes a logo or a greeting look and feel high end.
What are painted edge cards?
They are extra thick cards with the edges painted in a color. Look at the card from the side and you see a bright line of color. We have 17 edge colors, including gold and silver.
Can I use my own photos?
Yes. Send us your photos and we will place them on the card. We check that they are sharp enough to print well before we start.
When should I order holiday cards?
Early November is best. That gives time to design, print, sign, and mail them before the busy holiday season.
How long does printing take?
Most cards are ready in a few business days after you approve your proof. Cards with raised foil or painted edges can take a little longer. Text us your date and we will plan around it.
Do you help with design?
Yes. We can design your card from scratch, add your logo and photos, and even help write the message inside. A real person works with you until it looks right.
Do you only work with businesses in Scottsdale?
No. We print cards for businesses and families all over the Phoenix Valley, including Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, and Cave Creek. Text us from anywhere in the Valley.
