Personalization and Custom Printing Options
When it comes to personalizing cards, we offer two different types of greeting cards.
- Most of the cards in our store are printed by the greeting card publishers (i.e.- Avanti, Designer Greetings, Pictura, etc.) so we cannot change the design of card - only add to the interior panels. When you click the CUSTOMIZE button from the product detail page you'll see our customization tool and you'll have options to add text in the printable areas.
- The other type of greeting cards we carry are from the DFS line of custom greeting cards. These cards are blank on the interior so you can fully customize the verse and your personal message. This line of cards have SKUs that begin with DFS-. Simply filter your search results by brand and view items produced by DFS Birchcraft Studios.
Personalized greeting cards
The following information does not apply to DFS custom greeting cards. The price depends upon the design selected and the quantity being purchased. Please see the product details page for pricing and volume discount pricing.
You have the option to add your personal message to the inside of the greeting cards that you purchase.
Because the greeting cards we sell are brand name cards your custom message will be printed in addition to the existing text that appears on the cards. The pre-printed text and artwork cannot be changed.
Simply click on the "Customize" button from the product detail page and you'll be taken to our online customization tool that allows you to add your personal message while selecting the type style, ink color, size and more. Our interactive design page will let you see exactly what the card will look like after your message has been added.
We offer a wide variety of type styles or the message can be handwritten by one of our customer care team members. The handwritten option is only available on individual greeting cards and is not available on boxed cards.
Printing Return Addresses on Envelopes
If you are ordering boxed greeting cards you will have the option to add your return address to the envelopes. Our personalization staff will imprint your return address on the back flap of each envelope.
Please note that some greeting cards come with envelopes that have design features preventing them from going through our printers. Please see each item's product detail page for more information about whether the cards and/or envelopes have the option to be custom printed.
What are your printing options?
Custom messages can be printed on your greeting cards with one of our ink printers or handwritten by one of our customer care team members.
The online customization tool allows you to add your custom text and choose type styles, colors, sizes, alignment, positioning and much more.
If you're sending an individual card directly to the recipient as a gift, and you've added a custom message to the card, the delivery address and your return return address will be printed on the envelope.
Please note that the handwritten option is not available for boxed greeting cards.
Some greeting cards may only allow the handwritten option due to the special design features (i.e.- glitter, die-cut, etc.) associated with the cards that prevent them from going through our printers.
What are the custom printing fees?
Greeting card personalization is priced as follows:
| Type of Product | Customization Price |
| Individual Greeting Cards | $1.00 per card |
| Boxed Greeting Cards | $0.60 per card |
| Boxed Greeting Cards (Return Addresses) | $0.60 per envelope |
What is the turn-around time on personalization?

Please allow up to 3-4 business days processing time for the completion of personalized boxed cards, large quantities of 10 or more individual greeting cards or the printing of return addresses on envelopes.
