Halloween Card and Invite Printing in North Dallas

Party invitations, trunk-or-treat and fall festival cards. Four sizes, nine papers, and same-day production in the last week of October.

Mostly events, not greetings

Halloween printing around North Dallas is event printing. Schools and PTAs running fall festivals, churches running trunk-or-treat, neighbourhoods organising block parties, and families throwing parties for children who have opinions about the theme.

Very few people send Halloween greeting cards. Almost everyone needs to tell a crowd where to be and when.

Send them home in the first week of October

If the cards are going home in a school folder, they need to go early in October. Families fill the last two weekends of the month quickly, and an invitation that arrives on the 25th is competing with plans already made.

Which means artwork in late September. It always feels early and it never is.

The details that get asked anyway

Costume expectations, whether food is provided, whether parents stay, and the end time. For trunk-or-treat, say whether cars are decorating and who to contact to take part — that recruitment is usually the hard part.

Late October panic? Same-day production is one of the choices at checkout. It is a busy week for us and it is still possible — order in the morning and collect the same afternoon.

Four sizes

SizeWhat it suits
3.5" x 5"The compact one. Save the dates, short announcements, anything going out in volume
4" x 6"Photo proportions. The natural choice when a photograph is the card
4.25" x 5.5"Classic card proportions. Holds a decent amount of text comfortably
5" x 7"The presentation size. More room, more impact, and the one people keep on a mantelpiece
Before you commit to 5" x 7" for a long list, check what it costs to mail. Larger cards can fall into a higher postage bracket, and on two hundred cards the postage difference can outweigh the printing difference. Worth two minutes at the post office counter before you order.
Nine papers, and one thing to know. We run 80 lb Classic, 100 lb Premium and 120–130 lb Thick, each in matte, gloss or satin / silk. Matte is the uncoated one — take it if anyone is going to handwrite on the card, because gloss and satin both resist ink. If the card is carrying a photograph, gloss or satin makes it sing.

Questions we get asked

Best size for a school folder?

4.25" x 5.5" or 3.5" x 5". Both fit in a folder without bending and both survive the journey home in a backpack.

Do dark designs print well?

Yes, and they look better on gloss or satin, which holds density. Very dark designs on uncoated matte can look flatter than they do on screen — we will show you a proof.

How many for a school?

One per family rather than one per child, or siblings get two. Ask the office for family numbers rather than enrolment.

Need signage as well?

Yard signs work well for directing people at a fall festival or trunk-or-treat.
