Mini printer for printing gift tags and greetings cards

[kevin555]

Hi all

Just wondered if anyone has a recommendation as to using a specialist printer for printing gift tags (business card size), and also gift cards (unfortunately different sizes).

What's the best solution?

We print lots of gift tags so it may be best to have a dedicated mini printer - is this the best thing to do. I don't want cards getting swallowed up by our standard laser printer.

Thanks
Kevin

I've not seen any small printers except for the label printers from Dymo. Would printing on an A4 that has been precut be any good? Search for "Avery C32011-25 Business Cards" on Amazon.

See how many you can get out of a standard A3, or A4 sheet (or SR A3 if you can print that size) and cut them out yourself.

I already have the gift tags that are professionally printed, cut to size, drilled with a hole for gift string etc.

I shall explore dymo printers. Any other advice greatly appreciated.

A quick exploration of dymo printers seems to be that they are for label printing which is not what I want.

Just a simple printer that effectively and simply will print 10-20 words onto a business card without getting jammed etc.

sarky - thanks for trying to help.

Every time I search for this subject it either comes up with PROFESSIONAL PRINTERS or PRINTING LABELS - it's really difficult to research.

I have a zebra thermal printer for post labels so maybe there's something this size for printing on small cards etc

A photo printer might do it.

I've looked and looked and looked and can't find anything at a reasonable price. Saw a zebra (I think) printer that makes complete business cards but it was over a £1000. I don't want a fancy dan printer just something that will print black ink onto business card size.

At this rate I'm going to have to stick them to a sheet of a4 or similar and then feed through the normal printer and then unstick the card - there's got to be a better way!
