Valentine Card Printing in North Dallas

Class valentines, customer cards and event invitations. Four sizes, nine papers, and same-day production in the first fortnight of February.

Three quite different jobs

Class valentines. Children's cards for a classroom exchange, where the requirement is one per child in the class and a short lead time because the teacher only sent the list home last week.

Customer cards. Restaurants, salons and retailers thanking regulars or promoting a booking. February is a quiet month for a lot of businesses and a well-timed card fills a table.

Event invitations. Valentine dinners, church couples' events, fundraisers and galas that use the date as a hook.

Order in late January

The window is short and absolute. Cards want to be out by the first week of February for anything needing an RSVP, and by the 10th for anything simply being handed over. After the 14th they are worthless, which is not true of most cards we print.

If you are a business using the date

Put an offer with an expiry on it. A card that says "thinking of you" is pleasant; a card that says "book by the 20th" produces bookings. February needs the traffic more than most months do.

Remembered on the 9th? Same-day production is one of the choices at checkout. Order in the morning and collect the same afternoon at 14110 Dallas Parkway.

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

How many for a classroom?

Ask for the class list rather than guessing, and add a few. Teachers, aides and the child who joined last week all get missed.

Smallest size?

3.5" x 5" for class valentines — small, cheap in volume, and the right scale for a child to hand over.

Will reds print accurately?

Strong reds are one of the harder colours to match from screen to paper. We proof before printing and will flag it if your red will shift.

Can children write on them?

Choose matte — it is the uncoated option and takes pen. Gloss resists ink, which is a problem when thirty names need writing.
