Send a Card People Run a Thumb Across
A suede greeting card is a 16 point card wrapped in a suede laminate, so the surface feels soft and matte, closer to fabric than to paper. We score each card down the center so it folds flat into a front cover, an inside spread and a back, for a holiday greeting, a thank-you, a wedding note or a card a brand puts in every order. Suede greeting cards start at $617.67 for 500, rated 4.5 out of 5 across 18 reviews.
The soft-touch suede coat gives deep colors and clean type a rich, understated look. To compare suede with our other greeting cards, browse every option on greeting cards printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
The smallest run is 500 cards at $617.67, and 1,000 cost only a little more, so a studio sending holiday cards to 700 clients should order 1,000. At 10,000 each card costs about 33 cents. Tap any tier below to see the total at that count.
What Are Suede Greeting Cards
Suede greeting cards are folded, scored cards printed full color on a 16 point suede-laminated stock, a soft-touch finish that feels velvety in the hand. They come in 5 sizes that score down the middle to fold, and print on the front only or on both sides. Customers order them when a plain card would feel too thin for the moment: holiday cards from a studio, thank-you notes tucked into a shipped order, save-the-dates, and premium brand cards. The surface is soft rather than glossy, so people handle the card and keep it. If you want a raised element layered on the same soft base, the Raised Spot UV Suede Greeting Cards add a clear raised gloss on top.
- Folded sizes: 5" x 7", 4.25" x 5.5", 4.5" x 6", 6" x 6" and 5.5" x 4.25", or custom up to 12" x 7" flat
- Stock: 16 point suede laminated, scored before folding
- Ink: 4/0 full color front with a blank inside, or 4/4 full color both sides
- Envelopes: none, or matching White Wove A7
- Quantity: 500, 1,000, 2,500, 5,000 or 10,000 cards
- Artwork: a print-ready PDF, JPG or PNG, with a free online proof or straight to production
What Size Should a Suede Greeting Card Be
Every suede greeting card ships as a folded card, so the size you pick is the flat sheet that scores down the middle. The default 10" x 7" sheet folds to a classic 5" x 7" portrait card, the size most holiday and photo cards use. Step down to the 8.5" x 5.5" sheet for a 4.25" x 5.5" folded card, or the 9" x 6" for a 4.5" x 6". Want a square? The 12" x 6" sheet folds to a clean 6" x 6". And the 11" x 4.25" sheet folds to a slim 5.5" x 4.25" card. If none of those is exactly right, set a custom size up to 12" x 7" flat. All 5 sizes are grouped below the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.
What Makes the Suede Finish Special
This card is defined by its suede laminate, a soft-touch coating over a 16 point card, so the surface feels velvety and mutes glare, which gives deep colors and clean type a rich look, and the matte finish keeps the card understated. You choose your ink coverage: 4/0 puts full color on the front and leaves the back blank for a handwritten note, or 4/4 runs full color on both sides for art or a printed message inside. Every card is scored before folding, so the suede coat bends at the crease instead of cracking. For the same soft feel with metallic foil on top, the Raised Foil Suede Greeting Cards carry the idea further.
How Much Do Suede Greeting Cards Cost
Suede greeting cards start at $617.67 per 500, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 10,000, so a cheaper card really comes down to how big a run you order. A run of 1,000 is $680.83, only a little above 500, which is why the per-card cost nearly halves at that step. From there 2,500 run $1,640.81, 5,000 run $2,398.69, and 10,000 run $3,282.88, where each card lands near $0.33. 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 Inside a Suede Greeting Card
Yes. Choose 4/4 ink and the card prints full color on both sides, so you can run art or a printed message across the inside spread. If you would rather write by hand, choose 4/0, which prints full color on the front and leaves the back and inside blank. Every card is scored so it folds cleanly at the center, and the suede coat bends at the crease without cracking. Pair a full color cover with a printed inside and the card carries its own message.
How Do Proofing and Turnaround Work
Before anything prints, you pick how careful you want to be. Send your artwork straight to production when you know the file is right, or choose the free online proof and approve a digital version first, which is the safe move on a folded card where the crease and the inside layout matter. Standard production runs 7 business days, and when a date sneaks up you can move to the 4 business day rush for a set amount on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you need it. Upload a print-ready PDF, JPG, or PNG. And you are not gambling on the date: 99.8% of 4OVER4.COM orders arrive on time and 82% ship early. Planning a February send?

Suede Greeting Cards: Frequently Asked Questions
Do suede greeting cards come with envelopes?
Matching blank envelopes are one of the options you can add before checkout rather than something bundled automatically. If you already have envelopes on hand, leave the option off and order the cards alone.
Are the cards scored so they fold cleanly?
Yes, scoring is part of the product and each card is scored down the center so the fold is crisp rather than cracked along the laminate. That gives you a front cover, an inside spread and a back to work with.
What folded sizes are available?
There are 5 folded sizes, from a 4.25 inch by 5.5 inch card up to a 6 inch by 6 inch square, plus a custom size made to order up to 12 inches by 7 inches flat. The square is the one people pick when the card should not look like a standard holiday card.
Can I print the inside of the card?
You can print full color on the front with a blank back, or full color on both sides if you want artwork or a printed message inside. A blank inside is the usual pick when the card gets hand signed by a team.
What is the minimum order for suede greeting cards?
The smallest run is 500 cards at $617.67. The per card price drops to about $0.33 as the run climbs to 10,000, which is why full holiday mailings get ordered in one go rather than in batches.
How far ahead should I order for a holiday mailing?
Standard production is 7 business days, with a 4 business day rush available. Since the cards still need signing and mailing after they reach you, ordering with time to spare beyond production is the safer plan. The card rates 4.5 out of 5 across 18 reviews.
