Custom Flat Greeting Cards for Holidays, Thank Yous and Announcements
Flyover Print prints custom flat greeting cards in full color on thick cardstock, for holiday cards, client thank yous, announcements and invitations. Choose from five sizes that fit standard A-style envelopes and five paper stocks. Print on one side or both, so there is room for a photo on the front and a personal note on the back, and pick square or rounded corners. Order as few as 25 cards or as many as 5,000, pick 5-day, 3-day or next-day production, and every card is printed on our own press in Highland, Indiana.

Pick your paper
| Paper | Finish | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 14PT Cardstock Uncoated (standard) | Smooth, natural, no shine | Cards you sign or write a note on. Pens and markers write easily |
| 12PT Cardstock Gloss | Shiny | Bright photos and bold colors at a lower weight |
| 14PT Cardstock Satin | Soft, low sheen | A premium look with rich color and less glare |
| 16PT Cardstock Uncoated | Extra thick, natural | A heavier card that still takes a handwritten note |
| 16PT Cardstock Gloss | Extra thick, shiny | Photo holiday cards with a sturdy, premium feel |
Planning to write on the cards? Choose an uncoated stock. Ballpoint pens can smear on gloss and satin. Compare papers side by side in our paper guide.

Frequently asked questions
What sizes of greeting cards do you print?
Five flat sizes: 3.5" x 5", 4.25" x 5.5", 4" x 6", 5" x 7" and 5.5" x 8.5". The 5" x 7" card is the classic size for holiday cards, invitations and announcements.
What paper are the cards printed on?
The standard paper is 14PT Cardstock Uncoated, a thick, smooth card that is easy to write on. You can also choose 12PT Cardstock Gloss, 14PT Cardstock Satin, 16PT Cardstock Uncoated or 16PT Cardstock Gloss on the order form.
Can we write a note on the cards?
Yes. Uncoated stocks (14PT and 16PT uncoated) take pens and markers well. Gloss and satin papers make photos pop, but ballpoint ink can smear on them, so choose uncoated if you plan to sign every card.
Are envelopes included?
No. These are flat cards without envelopes. Each size fits a standard A-style envelope: 3.5" x 5" fits A1, 4.25" x 5.5" fits A2, 4" x 6" fits A6, 5" x 7" fits A7 and 5.5" x 8.5" fits A9.
Can you print on both sides?
Yes. Choose front only, or front and back when you order. Many customers put a photo or design on the front and a printed message, signature or event details on the back.
Can you round the corners?
Yes. Choose Round Corner on the order form and we round all four corners after trimming, for a softer, finished look. A small charge is added to the order when you choose rounded corners.
What is the minimum order?
The minimum is 25 cards, and you can order up to 5,000. The price per card goes down as the quantity goes up.
Do you check our file?
Yes. You approve a free online proof at checkout, then a real person checks your file for size, resolution and print setup before it prints. We do not proofread your text, so please check spelling, names and dates on your proof.
Can you design our cards?
Yes. Upload your own print-ready file, start from a free template, or choose "Let us Design for You" and our team will design it with your photos, logo and message. If you want design help, the fee is added to your order.
How fast can we get them?
Choose 5-business-day, 3-business-day or next-business-day production when you order. Production time does not include shipping, so if you are mailing holiday cards or invitations by a certain date, add UPS transit time and leave a little cushion. You can also pick up at our Highland, Indiana shop Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 4 PM. Up against a deadline? Email info@flyoverprint.com and we will tell you what we can do.
Do you charge for shipping?
Shipping is charged at UPS rates, and UPS Ground is free on orders of $49 or more anywhere in the U.S. Need it sooner? 2nd Day Air and Next Day Air upgrades are available. Local pickup at our Highland, Indiana shop is always free.
