Letterpress Thank You Cards

What Are Letterpress Thank You Cards

Letterpress thank you cards are premium thank you cards printed full color on heavy 16-point laminated stock and built to be finished with pressed and metallic detail. People reach for them when a plain card would feel thin: client thank yous, wedding and event thanks, and repeat-order inserts for online shops that want the unboxing to end on a considered note. Because the card carries real weight and a finish you can feel, it gets handled and kept instead of tossed. For a lighter, everyday thanks the Flat Thank You Cards cover the same job on thinner stock, and the Velvet Thank You Cards run a soft suede laminate across the whole card.

What Size Should a Letterpress Thank You Card Be

The right size comes down to how much you want to say. The 4" x 6" default is the classic note that tucks into a shipped order or a place setting. A 5" x 7" gives a logo and a longer message room to breathe, and the 6" x 9" reads like a slim card that stands out on a desk. The 8.5" x 11" and 11" x 17" sizes turn the card into a full sheet for a menu, a program, or an announcement that doubles as thanks, and you can set a custom size anywhere up to 11" x 17". All 5 sizes, both ink options, and the full finishing list are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. For a card that opens to more room inside, the Folded Thank You Cards score and fold.

Here are a few easy ways to make a letterpress thank you card pull its weight.

Pick a stock that feels like more

All 3 stocks share the same heavy 16-point weight, so the difference is the surface. The 16pt Silk Laminated reads smooth with a muted sheen, the 16pt Gloss Laminated gives a bright, reflective face that makes color pop, and the 16pt Velvet Laminated feels soft and suede-like and resists fingerprints. Lamination is included on all three, so the card is sealed and durable out of the box.

Let the finishing do the talking

Add foil stamping to a logo for a metallic shine, emboss a monogram so the detail rises off the surface, or lay a spot UV gloss over one element against the laminated base. You can apply foil, embossing, or spot UV to the front or the back, die cut the card to a basic or complex shape, round the corners at a 1/8" or 1/4" radius, and even paint the edges a solid color that frames the stock.

Start from a press-ready blank

Already have your artwork? Download a press-ready blank so your design sits at the real trim size with the bleed and safe margin already drawn in, and your foil and embossing never crowd the cut. Grab the letterpress thank you card blank template that matches your order below, drop your art in, and upload.

How Much Do Letterpress Thank You Cards Cost

Letterpress thank you cards start at $220.20 per 100, about $2.20 a card, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 5,000. Stepping from 100 to 300 adds only $24.60, so 300 run $244.80, near 82 cents each, and by 5,000 each card lands around 15 cents. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-card cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.

Can You Print a Name or Code on Each Card

Yes. Turn on variable data and you can drop a unique name, a number, or a one-off code onto every single card in the run, so each one ships personalized instead of identical. That turns a thank you card into a numbered loyalty card, a note addressed to a specific client, or a coupon where every code is different. Pair it with full color on both sides and the finishing that fits, and a printed thank you starts doing the work of something much larger.

How Do Letterpress Thank You Cards Compare

Letterpress thank you cards are the premium pick when you want the card itself to signal that the relationship matters, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a flat everyday card, a folded card with room inside, or a full-velvet laminate, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up these cards against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

How Fast Can You Get Letterpress Thank You Cards

Standard production for these cards runs 10 business days, which gives the specialty finishing the time it needs to come out clean. Before anything prints, you choose how careful to be with the file: send it straight to production to save a step, or request a free online proof and sign off on the exact layout, color, and finish placement first. A proof is the cheapest insurance on a premium card, since foil and embossing register exactly where your art tells them to. Upload a print-ready PDF, JPG, or PNG and you are set.

Letterpress Thank You Card Sizes and What They Suit

Five sizes run on this card, plus a custom size anywhere up to 11" x 17". The size decides how much the card can say and where it ends up, so it is worth settling before the finishing.

All of them print on the same heavy 16-point laminated stock, in 16pt Silk, 16pt Gloss or 16pt Velvet, and foil, embossing, spot UV, die cutting, edge painting and rounded corners are added to the front or the back whichever size you pick.
