Introduction to Materials and Techniques for Card Printing

Card printing is an ordinary printing business, and enterprises are often one of the parties to such printing orders. Their purpose is to express blessings and communicate emotions to consumers, customers, and even partners by printing New Year cards, Christmas cards, creative DIY cards, or 3D cards. Don’t underestimate the printing of this New Year greeting card, as it has significant requirements for materials and craftsmanship.

In terms of materials, there are many paper options for greeting card printing, such as specialty paper, copperplate paper, matte paper, pearlescent paper, environmentally friendly paper, color card paper, etc. Moreover, each type of paper has a different weight, and pearl paper can be divided into imported pearl paper and domestic pearl paper. There are different weight and color options for paper, but pearl paper is much more expensive than copperplate paper. For greeting card printing, pearlescent paper printing produces good results with silver or gold glitter, but the color printing is light because pearlescent paper is a special type of paper that is difficult to color and dries slowly. Double sided greeting card printing takes a little longer than regular printing (using copperplate paper).

In terms of craftsmanship, customers must have a rough printing and production budget before designing, and based on this, carry out subsequent work. Card printing is different from brochure printing, single page printing, etc. The cost of choosing any special paper card on the card will be very high. Secondly, many post-processing techniques can be stacked on the card, such as hot stamping UV、 Stirring and other factors can affect the printing cost of greeting cards.

The most commonly used greeting card printing combination is using copperplate paper, which is the most economical, and combined with a hot stamping process, the effect is also very good. There is also a need to consider whether there is a matching envelope for greeting card printing, so it is necessary to do greeting card envelope printing.
