Greeting Card Printing & Mailing

What does greeting card printing and mailing include?

Greeting card printing and mailing is one workflow: MPA prints folded A2, A6, or A7 cards, flat cards, or custom sizes on 14 pt coated, uncoated, linen, or felt cover with matching envelopes, then personalizes, addresses, stamps, and mails them from one Lakeland facility. Orders start at 250 cards and print in 5 to 7 business days after proof approval.

The Difference

We print and mail your cards.

This is the line most printers cannot cross. They print cards; you still have to personalize, address, stamp, and mail them. Because MPA is a full-service mail house, the same job that produces your greeting cards can finish at the post office - personalized, addressed, stamped, and on its way to every client or donor.

A print-only shop

A box of blank cards shows up at your door. From there it is on your team:

  • × Find or print matching envelopes separately
  • × Hand-sign and hand-address every card and envelope
  • × Stuff, seal, and buy and apply postage
  • × Haul boxes to the post office yourself

Fine for a dozen cards. Painful for a whole client or donor list.

The MPA way

MPA, print + mail

Hand us the print-ready file and the list. We take it the whole way:

  • Print cards and matching printed envelopes
  • Personalize each card with names and a signature-look message
  • Clean your list and address every envelope
  • Apply postage and hand the mailing to USPS

Prefer to mail them yourself? That is fine too - we will print the cards and matching envelopes and ship you the finished set. The full mailing is there when you want it, not required.

Personalization at Scale

Every card personal, across the whole list.

With variable data printing, every card and envelope in a large mailing can carry the recipient's name, a tailored inside message, and a signature-look closing, driven by the same list we address from.

01

Named, not generic

Each card greets the recipient by name and each envelope is addressed to them directly - no labels, no mail-merge look, just a card that reads as written for that person.

02

A signature-look message

Add a tailored inside message and a signature-style closing so each card feels hand-finished - ideal for a sales team thanking clients or a development office thanking donors.

03

Segments and codes

Vary copy by segment - top accounts, lapsed donors, new clients - and add a unique code or QR code for tracking, all driven by the same in-house data we use for direct mail.

It is the same engine behind our variable data printing work, pointed at your greeting card program.

Who It Is For

Card programs for businesses and nonprofits.

This is built for organizations sending cards to a list, not consumers buying a single card. These are the programs our commercial and nonprofit customers run most - and we print, personalize, and mail every one.

Business Holiday Cards

On-brand holiday cards mailed to your client and partner list - personalized, addressed, and dropped on schedule so every account hears from you.

Corporate Holiday Cards

A company-wide program across thousands of recipients, run as one project - segmented messages, premium stock, and a coordinated mail drop.

Nonprofit Year-End Cards

Year-end appeal and donor thank-you cards mailed to your full donor list, with personalized greetings and reply or QR options to drive year-end giving.

Thank-You Cards

Client and donor thank-you cards sent year-round - a personalized note that lands in a real mailbox, not an inbox, and gets remembered.

Announcements

Moves, milestones, new locations, and rebrands - formal announcement cards with matching envelopes, personalized and mailed to the right list.

Seasonal & Occasions

New Year, anniversaries, customer appreciation, and seasonal touches throughout the year - a card program that keeps your brand present in every season.

Sizes & Formats

Folded and flat card formats.

These are the formats our customers request most. They are options, not a fixed menu - if you need a different size or a specific fold, we will set the file up correctly with matching envelopes and quote it.

Most Popular
Folded A2
4.25 x 5.5 closed - the classic holiday and thank-you card with room inside.
A6 · 4.5 x 6.25
4.5 x 6.25 closed - a refined mid-size folded card for corporate cards and announcements.
A7 · 5 x 7
5 x 7 closed - a larger, more formal folded card for premium holiday and gala-tier sends.
Flat Card
A single-panel card - cost-efficient and great for photo-forward art.
Custom
Need a different size or fold? Send the finished dimensions and we will quote it.
Stocks & Finishes

Three stocks we run for greeting cards.

Every folded card is scored before it folds, so the spine stays clean on heavy stock. Pick the weight and surface that fit the card, then add a gold-foil-look accent, rounded corners, or a matching printed envelope.

SKIP IFYour art has dense, fine photographic detail.

Gold-Foil-Look Accents

Gold-foil-look and metallic-look accents printed on our in-house digital presses, for cards that should feel celebratory and rich.

Process

Send your files, print, personalize, mail.

Four steps from file to mailbox - and you can stop after print if you would rather mail them yourself.

  1. 1

    Send your files

    Send print-ready art with your size, fold, stock, and finish. Not sure it is press-ready? Run it through our free file check first.

  2. 2

    Print

    We proof, then print the cards and matching envelopes on your chosen stock with any finishing applied, in 5 to 7 business days after proof approval.

  3. 3

    Personalize & address

    We clean your list, personalize each card with names and a signature-look message, and address every envelope.

  4. 4

    Mail

    We apply First-Class postage and enter the mailing with USPS, with delivery in 3 to 5 business days - or ship you the finished set to mail yourself.

Turnaround

Plan ahead for the season.

A list-wide card program has more moving parts than a single card: proofs, personalization, addressing, and a USPS drop. Tell us the in-home date and we back-time production and the mail drop to land it; rush is available when the calendar is tight.

01

5 to 7 business days to print

Printing takes 5 to 7 business days after proof approval. The earlier the art is locked, the more comfortable the schedule.

02

Mailing adds 3 to 5 business days

Full-service mailing adds list cleanup, personalization, addressing, and USPS entry ahead of the drop, then First-Class delivery in 3 to 5 business days.

03

Holiday cutoff: December 1

Order by December 1 with approved artwork and your mailing list, and we mail your cards by December 15 for delivery before Christmas. Orders placed after December 1 are quoted on available capacity.

FAQ

Greeting card printing and mailing FAQ.

Yes. We print your greeting cards and matching envelopes, personalize and address each one from your client or donor list, apply postage, and enter the mailing with USPS, all from our Lakeland, FL facility. For a corporate holiday card program or a nonprofit year-end mailing to an entire list, we run the whole job so the cards land in mailboxes without your team touching an envelope. If you would rather mail them yourself, we print the set and ship it to you.
The minimum order is 250 cards, whether we print them for you to mail or print and mail them for you. Above that, runs go from a few hundred cards to key accounts to many thousands across an entire client, partner, or donor list, and a company-wide holiday card program runs as one project instead of many.
Folded 5 x 7 cards start at about $0.75 per card at 250 on 14 pt cover, scored and folded. Envelopes, inside printing, addressing, and postage are separate lines on the quote. When we mail the cards, postage is the Mixed-tier presorted First-Class letter rate, $0.707 per piece at July 12, 2026 rates. Every job is priced in an itemized written quote that separates printing, data, mail services and postage.
We print folded cards in A2 (4.25 x 5.5), A6 (4.5 x 6.25), and A7 (5 x 7), plus flat cards and custom sizes. Folded A2 and A7 are the classic choices for holiday and thank-you cards, A6 sits between them for corporate cards and announcements, and flat cards work well for announcements and photo-forward art. Tell us the finished size and whether you want folded or flat, and we will set the file up with matching envelopes and quote it.
Our standard heavy cardstock is 14 pt coated cover, in matte or gloss. For a softer surface that takes a pen we run 100# and 120# uncoated cover, and for the premium look, 100# linen or felt textured cover. Gold-foil-look and metallic-look accents print on our in-house digital presses, and rounded corners are available. We will recommend the stock and finish that fit the tone of your card.
Yes. Using variable data printing we personalize each card and envelope from your list: recipient names, a custom inside message, a signature-look closing, or a unique code or QR code, across the whole mailing. It is the same in-house data and personalization capability we use for direct mail, applied to your greeting card program.
Yes. We print coordinating envelopes, including a printed return address and, where you want it, a printed liner or accent, so the whole piece arrives as a finished set rather than a card you have to match to plain envelopes yourself. For a mailed program we address the envelopes from your list, so there are no labels to apply by hand.
Four steps: send your files (print-ready art, checked with our free file check), print (cards plus matching envelopes on your chosen stock, 5 to 7 business days after proof approval), personalize and address (we clean your list, personalize each card, and address each envelope), then mail (we apply postage and enter the mailing with USPS, with First-Class delivery in 3 to 5 business days). You can stop at print-only and we ship you the finished set, or let us run the full mailing to your client or donor list.
We can help on request. Most customers send a print-ready PDF and run it through the free file check first. If you need help getting the file ready, mention it when you request a quote and we will scope it with the job.
Order by December 1 with approved artwork and your mailing list, and we mail your cards by December 15 for delivery before Christmas. Orders placed after December 1 are quoted on available capacity. That schedule holds two weeks of production ahead of mail induction plus the First-Class in-home window of 3 to 5 business days, and we back-time production and the mail drop to your in-home date. Rush is available when the calendar is tight.
Yes to nationwide, and no, this works year-round. We ship finished card sets to all 50 states from our Lakeland, FL facility, and when we handle the mailing we enter it with USPS for nationwide delivery to your list. Beyond holiday cards, businesses and nonprofits use us for thank-you cards, year-end appeal and donor thank-you cards, and announcements throughout the year.
