"I have to say how
impressed I have been by your service, the quality of your product
and the speed of turnaround. Your set-up when making sense of
my 3 sides of image files was exemplary. My proof arrived by
return of post and was perfect. My main order arrived within
four days of having received my proof. I have been totally delighted
by the end result, and your costs are competitive when compared
to those offering a far inferior service on the internet. Thank
you very much - I will be using you again. You do more than
you say on the tin!". Kirsty S >>More comments

Optional Packing service
Most people want their cards packed in glass clear 'cello' bags,
for protection and to increase the perceived value. Most shops insist
upon this. You can either do this yourself, by ordering just the
inexpensive Glass Clear Polycarbonate 'cello' bags above, and packing
them yourself, or we can pack them for you, ready for sale. The
packing price is the same, whatever size cards you order. The correct
size cello bags are extra (see above). Available
at the checkout.

Suitable envelopes are supplied free with all cards.
Single sided print - NO extra charges Cards may be printed just one side (i.e. the outside front
and the outside back of the card) or both sides (the outside front,
the outside back and either or both of the insides). There is no
extra charge to add your imprint and website details on the back,
together with your logo and a thumbnail of the front of the card
if required. Many people prefer to sell cards that are blank inside
and if this is the case, you may want us to print "This card
is blank inside" on the outside back of the card.
Hi Steve,
I just wanted to say a big thank you to you and your team. My
cards came out beautifully - I'm really pleased with the quality.
Kind regards

CMYK and RGB - does it matter?
All printing, litho or digital, is printed CMYK. RGB is displayed
on monitors. It is NOT possible for anyone to print RGB without
it being to converted to CMYK first. We will do this conversion
for you before proofing and printing, so feel free to supply RBG
artwork or RGB images if you wish. Some colours change occur when
images are converted to CMYK (greens, oranges and blues particularly).
This is unavoidable due to the smaller colour gamut of CMYK. More
information on RGB versus CMYK
Multiple Greeting Card versions
Our prices assume that all the cards are printed to ONE design.
If you require extra versions (i.e. 250 off each of two designs,
making 500 in total or 50 off each of four designs, making 200 in
total) we only charge an extra £10 for each extra design.
For example, 500 cards off two designs (250 off each) would only
cost an extra £10 (plus VAT). This option is available on
the order form after you have uploaded your images.

Greetings card layout
Layout and proofing is FREE
once you have placed your order (we do not create proofs without
a paid order from you). Just upload your image during the order
process and we will do the rest. We can reduce your image to fit
the card, so don't worry if it is too large. RGB images are fine
as well, we'll convert to CMYK for you, so just send your original
camera file, with any cropping instructions. Logo design and complex
artwork is extra if required. (Please ask us to quote if you are
unsure).
"Just writing to
say that I received my order of 100 greeting cards this morning
and Im thrilled with the result !
Everyone that I spoke to during the process was really, really
helpful, and the finished product has been produced brilliantly,
very quickly and at a very reasonable price.
I'll certainly be recommending you to everyone that I can think
of!
Thank you for the excellent service,

Greeting Card Quality guarantee- our promise to you.
We always supply a printed proof (unless you request an emailed
PDF proof to speed up production time). However, if you are not
happy with the proof once you have received it, we will re-proof
until you are totally satisfied.
Cancellations
Naturally, if you choose to cancel the order before the work is
printed, we reserve the right to charge for the preparation work
that we have undertaken.
Our greetings card board - Environmentally
Friendly Board from sustainable forests
Our greetings cards are printed on environmentally friendly "Invitation"
board. No natural forests are destroyed in the making of "Invitation"
board. Only farmed timber is used in the making of the board and
the envelopes. Invitation board is made from 100% Elemental Chlorine
Free (ECF) woodpulps, sourced from fully sustainable, carefully
managed and renewed forests where at least two trees are planted
for every one felled. Invitation is fully recyclable and is manufactured
to precise and controlled standards. The supplier is registered
under the British and international quality standard BS EN ISO 9001-2000
and the environmental standard BS EN ISO 14001. Invitation board
contains fibre from mixed sources and woodpulps, including a proportion
of recycled fibres.

Christmas card styles |
Greetings cards are available in two styles, all featuring your
own image or artwork on the front. Any wording may be added to your
image and any wording or logo may be printed on the outside back
and (if ordered as double sided) inside.
Sizes
We now produce FOUR standard sizes of printed greetings cards. A6 size is A5, scored to
fold to A6 - finished size 148mm x 105mm. These fit C6 size envelopes
(supplied FREE with all orders) All cards are creased and supplied

Cello bags If
you are selling your greetings cards, it makes sense for you to
pack each card and the envelope individually in a glass- clear "cello
bag". Cello
bag prices They are peel and seal, so no sealing label is required.
We offer inexpensive, top quality "glass-clear" polycarbonate
"peel and seal" cello bags in four sizes - to fit A6,
A5, 5" x 7" and 140mm square cards.. The bags will each
hold one card and one envelope (free envelopes are supplied with
the cards). The option to cello bags purchase is available when
you place an order for any size cards. These bags are just like
the ones you see in card shops and will make your cards look very
professional, as well as keeping them clean. See Cello
bag larger picture For larger orders, we can offer a packing
service, with printed "message inside card" slips if required.
Packing in 5's or 10's is also available if required. Please ask
for details via our enquiry form.
The usual way to pack a card in a cello bag is to open the card,
place the envelope inside and then tuck into a clello bag. This
way, the reverse of the card is visible to the purchaser.
Multiple orders
The above prices assume that all the cards are the same. If you
want to order multiple images (i.e. 250 off each of two cards =
500 cards) at present, we charge just £10 extra for
each card AFTER the first one. Therefore two different cards within
a quantity would add £10 plus VAT. For example, 100 cards
with five designs would cost the standard 100 price PLUS an extra
£10 for each extra image - 4 x £10 = £40 extra
- plus VAT. 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. You just
pay the total price for however many cards you order. This is ideal
for greeting card publishers
FREE Envelopes
Good quality, suitably sized white 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.

Our
Environmental Policy
Centreprint take your concern for the environment very seriously.
All board and paper used in the production of our greeting cards
and envelopes is always sourced from well managed forests that are
FSC
certified sources, where at least three trees are re-planted
for every one that is felled. The trees are grown as a crop (as
with annual crops such as wheat) only our trees are harvested over
an eight to ten year time scale before being replaced with at least
three new saplings for the future. Tree production provides the
planet with oxygen and removes carbon from the atmosphere, as well
as providing a habitat for wildlife and leisure. The printing process
we use is digital and uses no metal printing plates or oil based
inks. Very minimal waste is produced due to the process used and
what waste there is is sorted, collected and recycled.
