New Years Cards (Invitations)
New Year Card Printing in North Dallas
Cards that land in January when the inbox is quiet. Four sizes, nine papers, and same-day production for the ones who decide late.
The card that arrives when people are actually reading
December post is a scrum. January is empty. A New Year card lands on a desk in the first week back, when people are planning the year rather than closing one out, and it has the page to itself.
For businesses, that timing does something a Christmas card cannot. You are not saying "season's greetings" alongside everyone else — you are starting a conversation at the moment budgets, plans and projects are being decided.
Forward-looking, not backward
The cards that work talk about the year ahead rather than the one that ended. What you are building, what you are looking forward to, what you hope to do with that client this year. It gives the card a reason to exist beyond politeness, and it gives the recipient something to reply to.
The practical window
Order in December and post in the first days of January, or order in early January for same-week delivery. Cards arriving after mid-January have missed the moment — by then everyone is back in the routine and the fresh-start framing has gone.
Size and paper for New Year cards
Many businesses send a New Year card instead of a Christmas card, so it lands after the holiday rush. A 5" x 7" card on a Thick stock stands out in a quiet January mailbox. A party invitation fits comfortably at 4.25" x 5.5".

Questions we get asked
New Year or Christmas?
If you only send one, New Year gets read more carefully. Christmas is more expected. Some businesses deliberately switch to New Year for exactly that reason.
How late is too late?
Mid-January. After that the fresh-start framing stops working and it reads as a card that missed Christmas.
Should we mention the year?
Yes, and check it on the proof. It is the single most common error on a New Year card and the most embarrassing one.
Which paper?
Matte if you are adding a handwritten line, which we would recommend. Something heavier if the card is going to senior contacts.
