Birthday Cards

When it comes to milestone events in your life, it’s always lovely to know someone is thinking of you. And what better way to show you’re thinking of your loved ones than by sending birthday cards? 

Personalized birthday cards are a classic way to show your affection and appreciation, and they’re perfect for anyone from friends and loved ones, to colleagues and staff. Custom birthday cards show that not only are you thinking about someone, but that you’ve taken into consideration their preferences, and have taken the time out of your busy schedule to create a personalized card which is going to appeal to their specific tastes.

Of course sending custom greeting cards to friends and loved ones isn’t the only use for birthday cards. Birthday invitations are a great way to invite people to share in your yearly celebrations, and they can be a vital ingredient if you’re trying to throw the perfect surprise birthday party for someone. 

If you’d like more information about the best choices for printing online, you might want to take a look at the Gold Image Printing Blog posts The Need for Print Invitations, as well as Things to Know Before Using Online Printing Services. They’re a great resource for anyone looking to get the most of shopping at Gold Image Printing. 

Birthday Cards Specs

These sizes cover the most popular choices for custom birthday cards online, but we understand that sometimes our customers might want something outside the norm. For more information on standard invitation sizes, you can visit our wonderful standard invitation size help page, but if something nonstandard is what you specifically want, then you can simply submit a request for a custom quote, and our team will work with your to design a customized birthday card in the specific size and shape that would suit you best. 

Paper

For full-color printing with an eye-catching finish, the 100lb Gloss Cover is a choice that will steer you in the right direction.

14pt Cover Semi-Gloss is one of our foundational cardstocks, and for good reason. It is both sturdy and versatile, and its beautiful sheen makes colors look incredibly sharp and vibrant. If you’re worried about thickness, this excellent cardstock is also available as 16pt Cover Semi Gloss.

If the idea of a gloss finish isn’t quite right for your design, our 14pt Cover Matte or 16pt Cover Matte might be exactly what you’re looking for. This pair of beautiful cardstocks have a visible texture that is just begging to be shown off, making them perfect for more minimal designs.

14pt Cover Stardream Metallic Crystal white is a cardstock which is as beautiful as its name implies, with a gorgeous solid-core color integrating a subtle pearlescent finish on both sides. Perfect for black and white or full color images, this would make an excellent choice.

17pt Cover Royal Sundance Felt Ultra White has a visible felt-like texture which makes it ideal for anyone who’s looking for a thicker stock with a great texture. It’s also perfectly suited to being written on with pens or pencils.

17.5pt Cover Eggshell Ultra White has a luxurious feel which is perfect for anyone looking for a thicker, more textured stock. It also takes pens and pencils really well, so it’s ideal for a birthday invitation card.

18pt Cover Soft Touch is a sturdy option, as it is quite thick, and its soft touch lamination gives it a lovely suede feel. This is a perfect choice for cards with muted colors, and solid designs. 

If none of these choices feel right for you, you can take a look at our entire list of paper stocks. If one of these seems like a better option for you, please submit a request for a custom quote, and we’ll be in touch as soon as possible.

Color

We offer two options for color printing birthday cards. Full-Color - Outside Only, and Full-Color - Outside and Inside. Both are printed using a blend of our four primary colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black - CMYK) to create any color on the visible spectrum. This method allows us to handle everything from the simplest solid color cards, through to any custom photo birthday greeting card you design.

Specialties

One of the biggest benefits of choosing a print company like Gold Image Printing for your custom birthday cards is our amazing suite of specialty printing services. 

If you’re looking for a luxurious texture as part of your design, our soft touch laminate and velvet lamination are both excellent choices. While both different, each one will add an element that's hard to find elsewhere.

If you’d like some classical print elements which add an air of formality and grandeur, letterpressing, embossing, and debossing are fantastic options. Each one offers a combo of visual and textural enhancement that will make your cards look their absolute best. 

For a purely visual flair, you might want to consider white ink, foil stamping using our foil color chart, or digital foil. These visually arresting choices are sure to make your product stand out as unique!

Birthday cards can definitely benefit from duplexing, effectively doubling their thickness. If you decide to go this route, then edge painting is a wonderful option to really enhance the thickness.

If you’d like a softer look, or something really unique, die cutting and rounded corners are fantastic options.

If you’d like to take full advantage of the options available at Gold Image Printing, you should be sure to check out our incredible design services, and corporate account. They’ll open up a world of choices.

If you’d like to add any of these specialties which don’t appear on the birthday cards shopping cart, you can submit a request for a custom quote, and we’ll work with you to provide the perfect cards.

Design Templates

When you print your birthday cards with Gold Image Printing, we provide you with lovingly crafted design templates, to ensure that your finished design perfectly matches your initial ideas.
