| How do I make greeting cards to sell? |
Selling greeting cards can be profitable for both large and small businesses. Follow these steps to create beautiful greeting cards to sell:
- Choose an image or illustration for the greeting card cover.
- Choose what the interior of the card should say. Make sure to leave space for handwritten notes!
- Decide if you want anything on the back cover of the card.
- Put all of your images and text together. Designs can be made in Adobe products like Illustrator or InDesign, Google Docs, Word, and other design and word processing software.
- Upload your design and place your custom order with Greenerprinter.
- Market and sell your new greeting cards to your audience!
| What should I put on the back of a greeting card? |
The backs of greeting cards typically include information about who designed the card and the logo of the company selling it. You can also choose to leave the card backs blank.
| Do recycled greeting cards look or feel different from regular cards? |
While some recycled cards may have a slightly different texture or color due to the recycled content, recycled cards look and feel just as great as non-recycled ones.
| Are there any specific markings to identify recycled greeting cards? |
Most recycled greeting cards will have a symbol or label indicating that they are made from recycled materials. Such as “100% recycled” or an FSC symbol.
| Are the envelopes that come with recycled greeting cards also recycled? |
Yes. Our envelopes are also PCW recycled. However, they usually have less recycled content than the cards.
