Full-color announcement cards start at $79.40, and you can order any quantity from 100 to 10,000 per line item. Most orders are produced and shipped within 3–4 business days. Prices below are store prices. These ship flat and uncoated — which is exactly what you want if a pen is involved.
Most print companies make you build a cart or fill out a quote form to see a number. Here is ours, up front. Prices are for full-color printing on both sides and include standard turnaround.

Those are representative quantity breaks — any quantity from 100 to 10,000 per line item is orderable in the store, and the price updates live as you change the configuration. There is no order too small to take seriously and no order too large for our presses.
If you want letterpress, foil or hand-lined envelopes, use a specialist stationer. Those are craft processes and the result is genuinely different from digital printing.
Our case is consistency and speed on the everyday run — cards that match your other printed material and arrive when you need them.
First orders are backed by our Money Back Satisfaction Guarantee, and our mistakes — cutting, quality, color shift, delays — get fixed, period. Read the guarantee in plain English →

Most orders ship in 3–4 business days. Covered by our guarantee.
We’d rather lose an order than have a disappointed customer. Don’t order from us if:
A card that arrives on its own gets read in a way an email does not. Keep one fact per card — the new address, the new hours, the date — and make it the largest thing on the page.
Shop this configuration →Uncoated stock takes pen ink without smearing, so these work as a printed shell you finish by hand. A handwritten line on a printed card is the cheapest loyalty program there is.
Shop this configuration →Print more than your guest list. The spares cover late additions and the per-card cost at a higher count is low enough that running short is the more expensive mistake.
Shop this configuration →Here's the actual sequence when you order: your file is checked by a person before anything prints — resolution, bleed, safe zones. If something's wrong, you hear from us with a fix, not a reprint bill. Production runs on commercial presses, not office equipment. You get tracking when it ships. If a deadline is tight, we tell you whether we can hit it before you pay — we've turned down orders we couldn't deliver on time rather than take the money and miss.

Because people write on them. A gloss or UV coating seals the surface, and ballpoint and fountain ink either bead up or smear for hours. Uncoated stock absorbs ink immediately, which is why note cards have always been uncoated.
These are flat, single-panel cards with no scoring. If you need a folding card, that is a different product — a flat card scored after printing will crack along the fold on heavier stocks unless it is scored properly first.
The minimum is 100 and the maximum is 10,000 per line item. Any quantity in that range is orderable in the store, and per-unit cost drops as quantity rises.
Most orders are produced and shipped within 3–4 business days — your exact turnaround is confirmed on the product page before you pay.
If it's our error — improper cutting, print quality, color or print shift, or printing delays — we fix it, period. First-time retail customers are also covered by our Money Back Satisfaction Guarantee. Full details are on our guarantee page.
