Greeting Cards

Main groupings you’ll notice first

Occasion-led singles sit alongside humour cards, photo upload designs, and boxed notelet sets, and partners don’t always publish them the same way. One retailer might show a single design as separate listings for A6 and A5, while another groups colour variants under one tile with selectable options. Small details matter. With Funkypigeon, for example, personalisable fronts and inside text fields can sit next to standard A5 cards with a plain white envelope, so check whether it’s a customised print or a ready-made single when scanning birthday greeting cards for size (A6/A5) and finish (matte/gloss).

Secondary formats: sets, packs, and personalisation

Multipacks and stationery sets appear as 5-pack, 10-pack, or mixed-assortment boxes, sometimes bundled with matching envelopes and sometimes sold as “cards only”. Some partners publish a boxed set as one listing with pack size and envelope colour in the title; others split it into separate variants by paper weight (e.g. 300gsm vs 350gsm) or by message on the front. It’s not consistent. On Card Market, you’ll also see novelty formats—pop-up constructions and shaped die-cuts—mixed in with flat A6 singles, so thank you cards may surface as either a single with one envelope or a pack with multiple identical fronts.

Sizing, orientation, and spec differences

Size is published in different ways: some listings state A5/A6 clearly, while others use measurements like 148 x 105mm or 210 x 148mm, and a few only show “standard” until you open the spec panel. Orientation changes the feel. Landscape cards can be filed under the same occasion as portrait, even when the envelope size differs. For wedding greeting cards, check whether the card is square (e.g. 150 x 150mm) or rectangular, and whether it’s supplied with a gummed flap envelope or a peel-and-seal style, because partners rotate these specs between print runs.

Materials, build, and functional details

Paper stock and construction drive the differences you’ll actually notice in-hand—thicker board, textured finishes, and add-ons like foil or embossing. Some listings call out 350gsm card with a soft-touch laminate, while others focus on features such as a pop-up insert, ribbon pull, or a stitched spine on booklet-style cards. Quick check: open or flat? With Moonpig listings, personalisation options can sit beside the same artwork in a non-custom version, so new baby cards may appear with photo upload, foil accents, or a plain printed finish, plus envelope colour choices like kraft or white.

Practical checks people make while browsing

Message placement is a big one: some fronts are blank inside, others include a printed line that limits what you can write. Keep it simple. Check pack size (single vs 8-pack), check size/orientation (A6, A5, or square 150mm), and check finish (matte, gloss, or textured) before treating two similar designs as equivalent. For christmas greeting cards, also watch for boxed assortments where each design differs, plus envelope counts that don’t always match the card count due to listing turnover.

How discount codes help lower costs when buying Greeting Cards on Discount Promo Codes

Discount codes relate to reduced-cost Greeting Cards shopping by applying retailer-provided offers at checkout, separate from how card size (A6/A5) or pack format (single vs 10-pack) is described in listings. The platform provides access to discount codes for partner retailers, and links to retailers’ discount code pages may appear alongside product listings. This sits next to the product browsing experience, not inside the card specification. A different part of the operation is the monthly donation: 20% of profits are donated to charity. When scanning anniversary cards, note that the retailer link and the code link can be presented as separate actions, even when the product tile looks similar across partners.
