Trucard is fully recyclable and is manufactured to precise and controlled standards. The supplier, Tullis Russell is registered under the British and international quality standard BS EN ISO 9001-2000 and the environmental standard BS EN ISO 14001. Trucard contains fibre from mixed sources and woodpulps from well managed forests certified in accordance with the rules of the Forest Stewardship Council. © 1996 Forest Stewardship Council A.C.

Multiple orders
The above prices assume that all the cards are the same.

Please ring our order helpline on 01902 402693 for details and advice on ordering. Our FREE design archive service will store each card design indefinately, so there is NO EXTRA CHARGE for multiple images when you re-order.

FREE Envelopes
Good quality diamond-flap greetings cards envelopes are supplied FREE with every order for greetings cards. Why pay extra elsewhere? We also recommend our crystal clear peel and seal cello bags.

Colour matching
Please note that ALL forms of printing (litho, digital or even your budget desktop inkjet printer) are based on the CMYK colour system, which has a very narrow range of available colours, compared to your television, camera or computer monitor. We will happily accept RGB files and images to print, but the colours we print are likely to be different to those seen on your screen and inkjet printer. This is why we send you a hard copy proof in the post. If colour is critical or important to you, we recommend that you send us a hard copy print-out to try to match to. Please also note that whoever prints your image, printed colours can never be as bright as those seen on your computer screen. See an explanation of the CMYK process. Naturally, it is very easy to alter the brightness and colours of your computer monitor, but this will not alter the original file.

Greeting card publishers - archive service
We offer a special FREE GOLD service for greeting card publishers (however small). After your initial order(s), we archive your design(s) for a minimum of 10 years, with our onsite archive AND duplicated safe and secure offsite storage, at no charge to you. In reality, this means that you can trust us to hold virtual "stock" for you, which may be called off at any time, with just a few days notice. There is NO mimimum order for each design. You just pay the standard rate as above and include as many designs in your order as you wish.
Example: Let us assume that we hold ten of your designs in our archive. Some sell better than others, naturally. You then order 200 cards at the price above. You request 40 off design A, 30 off design B, 30 off design C and 100 off design D (design D sells better). You only pay the standard 200 cards rate, yet receive exactly what you need.

How can I sell my greetings cards?

Greetings cards are ever-popular and sell for quite a high price in the shops. You can incorporate your own artwork or design or use a photograph that you have taken.

If you are offering cards featuring your local area, pop into local pubs, post offices, general stores, tourist attractions, petrol stations and offer to keep them stocked on a sale or return basis.

Package the cards, with an envelope, individually in cello bags to keep your stock clean. In this way, if you get returns, you can offer them for sale again elsewhere.

If you are a church, school or charity, make sure that all of your members, friends and parents are aware that you are offering greetings cards for sale. Most people buy dozens of cards every year, so will be pleased to buy them from you to raise funds. Women buy the most cards, so make sure that your designs are attractive to the ladies.
