Recycled Uncoated Greeting Cards 15pt

Recycled greeting cards printed on 100% recycled 15pt uncoated card stock send an environmentally friendly message to everyone on your list. This bright white card stock has a smooth matte surface to ensure your artwork prints with clarity and brilliant color.

 

Beyond being a 100% recycled card stock option, this 15 point thick, sturdy stock is made from 100% post-consumer paper fibers from the recycling flow, which means no new trees are cut to make your greeting cards.


Your folding invitations and greeting cards are printed in just a few days in full color on an HP Indigo printing press to ensure high quality and consistent reproduction of your artwork, including when you reorder and reprint your greeting cards.

Full Coverage Not Recommended

Full coverage (aka floods of ink) on uncoated stocks are not recommended on this Indigo printed card stock.  We use a liquid suspended based toner on this print method and the overall result of covering uncoated stocks in this toner will produce a low sheen instead of a matte appearance.  Heavy coverage may also highlight the appearance of natural fibres on uncoated stocks.  If your art / design includes heavy ink coverage and you want cards with a matte appearance we recommend one of our laminated stocks.

With over a quarter century of print and design expertise brought to every job, the team at Clubcard makes printing eco-conscious greeting cards a fast and affordable green printing choice you can depend on!

 

Custom size greeting cards are available: please select the next largest size listed online that will fit your trim size. Supply your files at your custom trim size and be sure to indicate the size in your order notes. 

Heavy Coverage? Think Twice

Heavy ink coverage can be problematic. When the cards rub together, the ink can rub off. Heavy coverage makes this more apparent. This can also be an issue for corner rounding, so we generally advise clients with heavy coverage not to round corners.

Small Fonts Aren't Good

The minimum recommended text size is 6pt. With any small text, if grey use a black ink only version; if Black, use 100% K.

Thin Lines Aren't Good

Anything thinner than a hairline stroke (0.25") - even at 100% K may look choppy when printed due to Indigo print resolution.

Indigo Resolution Is Different Than Offset

There is a screen to the Indigo print which customers should be aware of if they're comparing to traditional offset printing.

Minimum Line Thickness Of 0.5pt

Try to keep all line weights for graphics over 0.5pt. Anything under that can break up in the texture of the stipple.

For Small Elements, Simple Color Builds Are Better

When working with small elements like lines or text, a simpler color build is best to avoid misregistration. For example, 0/0/0/90 is a much better build than 20/20/20/40.

Proofing Will Delay Production Timelines

Orders with proofs will not begin print production until the proof is approved. If you are ordering rush printing and printed proofs the proof printing cannot be rushed.

PDF Layout Proofs: PDF layout proofs will be sent within 1 business day, rush orders will be given priority and sent asap during business hours. If file adjustments are required after the proof is sent the turnaround time is based on the time of final proof approval.

Printed Proofs | Photos of Proofs | Mailed Proofs: Printed proofs and photos of printed proofs require up to 4 business days to produce and cannot be rushed. If file adjustments are required after the proof is sent the turnaround time is based on the time of final proof approval.
