We Print and Mail Your Company's Own Holiday Card Design

Cards for Causes will. Send us your company's finished holiday card design and we print it, address every envelope with a real Pilot G2 gel pen in blue ink, then stuff, stamp and mail the cards through USPS by the date you choose. Mailings start at 100 recipients. Pricing runs from $1.75 per recipient for larger mailings on a digital design to $3.75 for a foil design at 100 recipients, before postage. Postage is USPS First-Class at cost.

Your part is short: send us your artwork, approve a digital proof, and send us your list.

What we do with your design

  • Set it up for print. Our design team builds your print files on the card size you choose and checks alignment, image quality and layout before anything prints.
  • Send you a digital proof before anything prints. Revise it as many times as you need until it's right.
  • Print it. Custom designs print digitally in full color on a folded card, with a matching white envelope.
  • Address, stuff, stamp and mail it. Every envelope is addressed with a real Pilot G2 gel pen in blue ink, and every card goes to USPS by your mail-by date.

What to send us

  • Your front artwork. Built at the finished card size plus 0.125 inch (1/8 inch) of bleed past the trim on each outside edge, at 300 DPI. Keep text and logos away from the edges, since the bleed is trimmed off. We set up the fold.
  • The inside. Send finished inside artwork built the same way, or send your message, logo and signatures and we'll lay out the inside for you.
  • Back artwork, if you want it. The back of the card is optional.
  • Your return address, for the envelopes.
  • Your recipient list. A spreadsheet works: Excel, Google Sheets or CSV. An export from your CRM is usually fine as is.

Envelope addressing

Envelopes are addressed with a real pen by default. If you'd rather have printed addresses, we can do that too. Before anything is written, we format your list and run it through USPS address validation. Every card and envelope is checked by hand before it goes out.

How to start

  1. Request a quote. Request a quote with your recipient count and mail-by date, and tell us in the "Anything else?" box that you have your own design. You'll get your exact price by email within one business day. Nothing is owed until you approve it.
  2. Send your artwork. We set up your files and send you a digital proof.
  3. Approve and send your list. Approve the proof and send your list.
  4. We mail it. We print, address, stuff, stamp and drop your cards at USPS by your date.

Most mailings run 3 to 4 weeks from order to mail date. Once you approve your final proof, cards typically mail within 3 to 5 business days. The earliest mail-by date you can pick is 14 days out. To guarantee your cards arrive before Christmas, have your order, recipient list and approved design in by December 11. Our guide on whether it's too late to send business holiday cards has every 2026 date.

Your client list stays yours

We collect names and mailing addresses only. Your list is encrypted at rest, only Smarty (USPS CASS address validation) and USPS ever see the addresses, and we delete the list 90 days after mailing. We never market to your clients, and we never share, sell or rent your list. An NDA is available on request.

If something goes wrong

On-time mailing. We agree on your mail-by date up front. If we miss it by more than 2 business days because of our error, we upgrade postage at our cost and credit 20% of your order, excluding postage.

Quality and accuracy. If your cards arrive misprinted, damaged or different from your approved proof because of us or our print partner, we reprint and mail them again at our cost.

Neither guarantee applies if proof, list or invoice approvals miss the agreed deadlines.
