What lab to use for Greeting Cards

msf

I was just wondering what lab you all use for your greeting card needs.

I like WHCC, but the press printed cards are rather expensive, but they do look great. I believe their current pricing for 25 flat 5x7 cards is $20, so after markup thats between $30 and $40.

I want to be able to offer my clients a more affordable option though, especially after my markup.

Christmas is just around the corner, and im trying to get ready.

Also, where do you guys get your designs for cards? Do you make your own? Or do you find free templates online? Or do you pay for templates? Again, WHCC has some nice templates, but the price can be high. some are worth it.

smugmug pro accounts can have the option to print cards, and there are a lot of designs offered there. i'm still trying to figure out the best way to market them for xmas myself because the clients can't see the option available.

I want to get printed examples of all the different cards to show my clients when its time to do the presentation of their pictures. So far I have press printed art pearl.
