Classic Holiday Cards are digitally flat printed with minimal edit options. This allows for beautiful card designs with a quick turnaround.
Deluxe Holiday Cards are also digitally flat printed but have added design elements that are letterpress or foil. Deluxe cards also have upgraded euro flap envelopes with access to exclusive envelope liners that were specially designed to compliment the Deluxe Card collection.
Both Classic and Deluxe Holiday Cards are designed in-house by our team of graphic designers at The Happy Envelope.
