Greeting card printing

[hughescw]

Hi everyone

I’ve started a new business in this industry at the moment I’m having trouble finding what equipment would be used to print on start up scale greeting cards

I currently design the cards myself and print with an online printer which is all good but the problem With this I must print x amount to get the best price an example would be

I’ve printed 50 designs but must order at least 10 of each

I would rather sacrifice a bit of profit margin and print my own cards I would rather have 500 blank cards where I can print on demand than 10 of each card and sell one or two

Moo has a Printfinity package where you can print a different design on each card, so you could have 10 of one design, 10 of another and so on all the for same package, think price is the same too

Moo is ridiculously expensive for the OPs purpose.
Don't get me wrong, I use them; but for me and not to make money from.

Try a local digital print outfit. Or a decent inkjet printer with a straight through paper path for heavy card. You can get hand machines for putting a crease in the card but they are surprisingly expensive. Some are a pull down lever, others are roller. Buy good quality card, not less than 250gsm. You can get oversize stock so you can trim to size with a bleed. Take them to a printer or print finisher for trimming. Small office guillotine will not do unless you want to waste a lot.
