What You Didn’t Think You Can Do With Custom Greeting Cards

By: Colleen Davis

Are you trying to find the right kind of original design idea for your custom greeting cards? Well, drop your traditional views of custom greeting cards now. In this guide, I will teach you how to print greeting cards beyond the usual things people do with them. You will be pretty amazed at what you didn’t think you can do with custom greeting cards.

• Using more than just paper – Contrary to popular belief, custom greeting cards can be made from more than just paper. If you want to create a truly customized greeting card with special properties, you can use different materials to improve your cards.

For example, some people like to use plastic for custom greeting cards to make sure that the greeting cards last forever without any real damage. Other people add special coatings on the greeting cards to make them look glossy and water resistant. You may even want to use wood and many other odd materials for custom greeting card printing. It is all about the purpose of your greeting card, but as long as it is flat and printable material, you can use it to great effect.

• Going beyond the two dimensions of printing – It is also possible to go beyond the two dimensions of printing in color greeting cards if you want. Depending on your greeting card printing company, you can have them add embossed elements to the greeting card, giving the designs an extra real effect. You can emboss symbols and letters to get a great effect of shadows and texture that makes a custom greeting card really special.

• Adding magic and light – You might not know this as well, but you can actually add magical or light effects to a custom greeting card if you really want to. By using special metallic inks that basically reflect of gleam in the light, you can make great magical look designs in your color greeting cards. You can use the inks on letters to make them look more elegant, while you can add the inks to parts of symbols to make them look magical and gleam in the light.

Of course, you should know that these kinds of inks are not cheap and some printing companies do not actually carry it. So ask your greeting card printing company first if they offer the service.

• Adding some music – Finally, if you want to be more modern with custom greeting cards, why not try to add some music unto them? Specialized greeting card manufacturing companies can actually help you add musical chips in your greeting cards that sound off once you open them. Of course these kinds of custom greeting cards are not cheap, but that musical effect can really make it worth the effort.

So as you can see, there are plenty of amazing things you can do with your custom greeting cards. Why not try them out?
