Photography Question

Custom Cards/Announcements


I have just started my own studio and I have seen that many photographers offer custom designed cards/announcements (ie - baby announcements or Christmas greetings). I am wondering if anyone out there knows of a good company to print these with.


What I'm wanting is a flat card (as opposed to folded) that is roughly postcard size. I would prefer it to be printable on both sides. It, of course, has to have a high image quality. I have seen ones offered by other studios that are cardstock finish, linen finish or watercolor finish. All of which are not necessary, but would be nice to have.

I am looking for a company that will allow me to order my own designs, instead of one of their templates.


If anyone knows of a company such as this, or something similar, please let me know!

Thanks in advance!

Elaine

  Tara,

Have you personally seen the cards? Or have you just used the company?

  You're welcome Elaine. I have found them to be quite helpful on the phone as well - helping to ensure that I get exactly what I want. They will also send you samples of their items and their various finishes if you ask for them. That was a great help to me.
