It is not possible to add extra pages to the card. However, if you have chosen a flat layout (2 pages), you can often get the same layout in folded format (4 pages) by going back to the page with the layouts and selecting a different format.

If you are looking for blank pages inside the card, please note that the card will print as you see it in the layout editor and the preview in the shopping cart. If you see a blank page, the page will remain blank when printed. If there is a pattern or background, this will print and cannot be removed.

Yes, you can add multiple photos to your cards. You can do this by adding a new image box to the card where you can add a photo.

Yes, you can add text and images on the 4 sides of a folded card from a PC or Laptop.

The address line and stamp box are part of the template and cannot be removed. If you need to back of the card to be blank, please choose another design.

Please check in the design editor and in the shopping basket if the backside is blank or if there is a pattern.

Note: Please check to see if there is a sample text on your cards. If it is, either edit it with your own text or delete it if you want a blank page, otherwise the sample text might be printed by mistake.

Yes, you can add blank place cards. If you wish to order all place cards blank, you can follow these steps: Blank Place Cards

On the Old/Legacy website, cards are offered without envelopes by default, and you have the option to add envelopes during checkout.

However, on the New website, all card orders currently include envelopes, as the price covers both the cards and envelopes together.

For some of the cards, we offer two types of trim: sharp and rounded. For now, trim is available for flat A5 and A6 cards. Other formats do not support trim options.

Due to the latest transition from the Old website to the New, sample cards are not available as of the moment. Updates will be posted once it is available.

The back of the attendance confirmation cards is white. We can't print on this side, but you can write something by hand if you want.

The RSVP cards' reverse side is blank (white). We will not be able to print on this side, however, you can write by hand if you wish.

It is not possible to edit the back of a place card.

You can customize the cards and add or remove pictures.

In many of our designs, you will see images added as a sample. If you don't remove it, the page will be blank. The sample image will not be printed.

We only support Latin alphabets/characters at the moment. However, if you like to include other foreign characters (like Chinese, Japanese, etc), it is possible to include them in the card as an image of at least 300 dpi resolution.

Uploading your own, custom design is possible. You can upload your own design using the ‘Upload Your Design’ templates visible on each category and then use the ‘add image’ button. The supported file formats include JPEG and PDF (one file per page). The actual size of the cards is provided when you pick a size and format (below the ‘Upload Your Design’ thumbnail). There is no vertical option for this, however, you may rotate your image and text according to your liking.
​
Customization is completely free and does not cost extra. You can upload photos (as many as you want), type your own text and change the styles, sizes, and colors of fonts within text boxes.
​
However, please note that we are a self-service platform and will not be able to review the order before it is printed. Please view the preview on the checkout page and place the order once you are fully satisfied.

Creating your own card template is currently unavailable. However, we offer a similar template with text only on the back, which you can use as a blank template by removing the text.

Please use the appropriate link for your country:

If you would like to write on your cards, please select matt cardstock. It is possible to write on silk cardstock but not on the areas where glossy coating is applied (should you choose that option). Glossy coating is only applied to the front page of a flat format or to the outer pages of folded products (front and back). This means that you can write on the inner pages of a coated, folded product.

Check the design editor and the shopping cart to see if the back is blank or if there is a pattern. If there is a pattern, it cannot be removed. Please note that if there is a full-page picture frame that is not filled with a photo, the background will print blank as seen in the shopping cart preview.

Also, please note that if you choose a glossy layer, this applies only on the front side for flat cards, and on the front + backside for folded cards, so you can always write on the back (flat cards) or inside (folded cards).

Our designs are created by graphic design professionals and are a single image file to which we can’t change individual parts. We are a self-service platform and you are able to customize many things within the template: you can upload photos, type your own text, and change the styles, sizes and colors of fonts within text boxes.
​
If there are different color options available, you will see these on the website at the moment you choose between designs (the colored boxes next to it). Besides these, we do not make custom adjustments to designs - please choose a different design in this case. Note that we have a "Create Your Own" option when you choose between designs, where you can start with an empty template and add text or image boxes as you wish.

Yes, you can design your own card and then upload it to our blank templates available in all formats and sizes. Find the blank templates here.

Note: This is currently not available on the USA, AU, and New Zealand websites.

We offer flat and folded place card. We have a variety of designs to choose from. You can easily place an order from the Optimalprint app or from the Web.

Note: This is currently not available in USA, NZ and AU

We cannot transfer your edited design (your photos and/or text) to another size or format of the same design. In this case, you need to choose the format/size that you would like to receive and create the cards again.
​
You will find the formats available for a particular design listed when you choose a design (on pc/laptop, under the thumbnail; on mobile/tablet when you tap on a design, then swipe left/right)
​
Also, note that if you have already placed an order with the wrong size, you can cancel the order 30 minutes after placing and the money will be automatically refunded. To do this, go to My Account > Your Orders.

We provide cards by 10s and you can now input how many cards you wish to order by selecting the quantity into 1 for 10 pieces and 2 for 20 pieces before you can head over to the editor to design them.

If you wish to order more than 300 cards of the same design, all you have to do is to click on the "plus" button and set the quantity into 30.

We offer two card formats: folded or flat. Flat no inside means that the card has no crease to fold.

The grey frame on the screen is a "bleed area" of about 4 mm, where we cut the cards in the production process.

Trim: the final size of the printed products is referred to as the trim size.

Bleed: this is the area outside of the trim line that will get cut off. Even though it ultimately gets removed it’s still important for the production of your product.

If you have a photo which goes up to the edge of the card, this "bleed" should be covered by your photo. This prevents a white line appearing between the photo and card edge, as we cannot predict exactly where the cut in this 4 mm area will be (it's a mechanical process).

Be careful not to include any text in this area as it is likely to be cut off.

At Optimalprint we use only professional digital printing presses - HP Indog and Xerox iGen. The paper that we use is an eco-friendliness certified paper.

The changes you will be making will be automatically saved in the system and you if you accidentally clicked "Back or "Exit" there will be a pop up window that will ask whether you wish to keep the design or discard

We sometimes include extra cards in orders, which might make it seem like something is missing or you've received more than expected. This typically occurs with sample orders, as we print in batches of 10 cards. These extra cards are complimentary and can be used as backups or keepsakes. You'll only be charged for the quantity you selected before checkout. While we aim to limit this for environmental reasons, we can't guarantee extra items with every order. Also, orders with extra cards won't include additional envelopes.

The logo represents our commitment to ensuring full satisfaction on every order placed with Optimalprint and it may be printed on the backside of your folded card depending on the card category and design.

You will be able to see the logo on the fourth page of your card while editing and previewing your design. If it does not appear on the fourth page, no logo will be printed. While we understand you prefer a logo-free card, unfortunately removing the logo is not possible.
​

You can still edit the size of the card even if it is already in your basket by simply clicking the "Edit" button
​
​

To delete the sample image in the card, note that the grayed-out sample image is part of the template. If you don't want to add an image, you can leave the image box empty and proceed to add the card to your basket. When you check the preview in your basket, the page with the sample image will appear empty. No further action is needed, as the sample image will not appear in the final product.

It is possible to add a QR code to your design. All you need to do is add an "image box", reposition it and upload your QR code. It's important to note that the image of your QR code must be sharp or not blurry so that it will work once it is printed.

You can't customize envelopes with specific designs or text. You can only choose between standard or premium types.

If you are looking for place cards, you can easily order cards with different names on each one. For other types of cards, you can order a set of 10 cards, all with the same design. This means that if you want to order 10 wedding cards, it is not possible to customize each card individually at this time. We are continually improving our products and hope to offer more customization options in the future. Thank you for your understanding!

If you make changes to one element on the place cards, the changes will apply to all names on the place cards.

To work around this, you can separate long names or names that require two lines onto different place cards. This means you will have two sets of place cards in your basket: one set for place cards with short or single-line names, and another set for place cards with long or two-line names.

In our place cards, there is only one text box available. This means you can only add text within that single text box. Because of this, it is not possible to add additional text to other parts of the card besides where the text box is located. However, you can still change the location of the text box to suit your design needs.

We hope this helps clarify the customization options for your place cards!

https://support.optimalprint.com/en/articles/8968707-design-editor-for-cards

After selecting your desired card design on the product page, you will be automatically redirected to our intuitive and user-friendly design editor. Here’s a detailed guide to help you make the most of its features:

Our editor provides easy-to-use tools for creating your products on Optimalprint. Amoung tools that allows you to add text and photos, customize the text (font style, font size, colour, bold, italics), you will also see the grid lines that help you align the text boxes.

At the end of the editing process, just before adding the card to the basket, our system will analyze your design in order to detect if there is a sample message that was not changed, empty photo box or overlapping text. If yes, an error message will appear. You will be given the option to fix the issue or to ignore it.

We are constantly working on the accuracy of the error messages, however, sometimes the "overlapping text" error message might be triggered when the frames of the text boxes are overlapping, even though the text itself is not affected.

From the website

Once you add the card to your basket, you will be able to see the printing preview by clicking on the magnifying glass that appears on the bottom-right corner on product.

From the Optimalprint app

Once you finished editing, you will see a Preview screen. You can swipe right or left to see the front, inside and back of your card.

It is important to check the preview of the design before proceeding to checkout since your design will be printed the same as shown on that page.

In addition, due to overlapping text, it may look normal during the editing page but when checked on preview, the format and position of the texts may change.

Image Resolution Requirements:
​

When uploading an image to our system, it is important to ensure that the resolution of your image is high enough to prevent it from looking "pixelated". Our system will automatically warn you if the resolution is too low, indicated by a red icon. If you see a yellow icon, it means that the photo you have uploaded is of medium quality.

We require a minimum resolution of 300 dpi for high quality print. However, the required resolution may vary depending on the size of the image frame. For larger image frames, a minimum of 1500x1500 pixels or 1 MB in size is recommended. This means that while some images may be suitable for smaller frames, they may not be suitable for full-page photos.

It is possible that the preview of your image may appear pixelated, even if the original photo is of good quality. This can happen when an image is zoomed or when an external image enhancing tool is used. To avoid this, we recommend using a different image or ensuring that the picture still looks good when zoomed in 3x. It is important to use sharp and bright photos, as they will be printed on greeting card stock rather than traditional photo paper.

While we understand that sometimes our customers may only have one photo available and the quality may not be ideal, we do offer the option to print a low-quality image. However, please keep in mind that this will reflect in the final printing quality and there may not be much we can do to improve it. If you would like to enhance your image, there are various tools available online that you may try using.

You can adjust the size and position of the photo and zoom in or out.

​
To move your image, you can do so by clicking on it and dragging it to any side and to rotate the image you have uploaded, click on the semicircle arrow mark in the column at the top left-hand side of the image box.

https://support.optimalprint.com/en/articles/8968723-how-to-order-blank-place-cards

If you want to write the names on the place cards yourself, and not have them printed by us, you can definitely order them blank.

To do that, just click on the sample name and then click the “Delete” button.

This way the text box will be deleted, and the place cards will be printed with just the pre-designed graphics, and not the name like shown below:

Important note: Please do not just erase the text In the editor and click OK, because this way the text box will still be present, and the system will print out a placeholder text like {name} on your place cards (this will not be shown in the preview either).

Here is an example of how NOT to order blank place cards by editing the text and leaving it blank, and then clicking ok:

This way the sample text box will remain, not be visible in the preview, and the {name} placeholder text will be printed like in the example below:

As part of this effort, we are currently in the process of updating and transitioning our website to a new platform. During this transition, we have temporarily disabled the place card feature on our USA and Australia websites to ensure that it is fully optimized and functioning properly on our new platform.

We understand that place cards are a valuable tool for our customers and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Our team is working diligently to improve this feature and we expect it to be available again on our USA and Australia websites in the near future. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to make our website even better for you.

We offer the following sizes in the EU/Australia/New Zealand

We offer the following sizes in North America

We offer square and rectangular cards, both flat and folded formats. For flat cards you can select the rounded corner trim. Please note that cards with rounded corners take more time to produce and therefore the delivery takes slightly longer.

Are you looking for matching products to complete your design? Look no further! We have several places where you can find matching products to the design you want.

On the page where you choose designs, you can easily find matching products. If the design has a matching set, there will be a link to it on the page. Simply click on the link and you will be directed to the matching products.

Another way to find matching products is by clicking on a specific product to see more information. On the product page, you will see a row of products with the title "Matching products". This will only be displayed if there are matching products available for the product you are viewing.

If you have already added a product to your basket that has matching products, you can easily add them to your basket as well. Simply scroll down on the basket page and you will see a link to add matching products to your basket.

https://support.optimalprint.com/en/articles/8968911-wedding-stationery-designs-sample-foil-sizes-prices-and-more

We would love to be part of your wedding and help you find the perfect stationery that will help you to set the tone of the day. If you are looking for test samples, prices, formats and information about how to customise your cards, then you are in the right place.

We offer hundreds of beautiful designs you can choose from depending on the occasion:

Most of our designs have a matching product (or a set of products) and you can easily see the entire design suite by clicking "View matching products" under the preview.

If you wish to see the printed version of a design before placing your final order, we are happy to print a custom sample of your exact cards.

You have the possibility to buy 1 sample item per order and up to 3 samples per year. To do so, please personalise your design, add it to the basket and set the quantity to 1 card.

Your wedding stationery will clue your guests into details of your wedding’s formality, colour scheme, and overall tone. Keeping that in mind, we offer three types of card-type and coating:

Silk card: Thick, 350 gsm card with a smooth, silky surface. Excellent for vivid colours and photos. Photos won't be as glossy as on photo paper.

The glossy finish can be added to the front/outside of silk cards if you want an extra touch, making colours and photos look really vibrant.

Matte card: It is a thick, 300 gsm card, more textured, with a matte look. Great for simple, elegant designs and for text-based cards. The ink is absorbed into the cardstock, making it easier to write on this paper by hand. A glossy finish cannot be added.

Our biggest goal is to help you create the perfect wedding set as this is going to be one of the most significant keepsakes of your lifetime. At Optimalprint, the editing process for any wedding stationery design is easy, intuitive and offers many features and tools. Our templates are highly customisable and you can add your text and photos, as well as multiple templates without photos. If you choose a design that has a photo box, but you don't want to upload a picture, just leave it empty or add text above it.

Both on our website and app you can easily find our flat and folded formats: flat cards have 2 editable sides, while folded cards have 4 editable pages. Depending on each design, those 2 formats are available in the following sizes:

To make your cards even more special, you can select our newly launched decorative and elegant extras: foil and rounded corners:
