Print Your Own Personalized Holiday Cards & Envelopes In Color

With the holiday season quickly approaching, it’s time to think about ordering your company’s holiday cards (and the color printed envelopes you put them in). While your competitors are busy searching catalogs and websites for a source for custom-printed high-quality cards for $3 a piece, why not consider a RISO ComColor high-speed inkjet printer and produce the cards in house?

Everyone knows that RISO ComColor printers are fast (up to 150 color pages per minute) and cost efficient ($.01 to $.03 per color page, depending upon coverage), but did you know how versatile they are? With no heat or fusing process and a short, simple paper path, you can print on a variety of paper weights from 12 lb. bond to 210 lb. index. Go ahead and print 3 1/2” x 5 ½“ postcards or newsletters and mini-banners up to 13 ½” x 21 ½”. Plus, how about full color personalized envelopes? Holiday party invitations, 2010 calendars, business cards? With ComColor, you can print it all on demand at a price you can afford.

Let's get started: First, find a beautiful full color holiday design that you want print on an attractive high quality card stock. Of course, you will want to add your organization’s logo. And you will want to print a personalized message inside, like “Christine, Thank you for your business this year. We at ABC Company hope you have a prosperous 2010. Happy Holidays!” Okay, perhaps a handwritten note would be a bit more warm and personal, but if you have several hundred customers, a mail-merged note might be more time efficient, don’t you think?

So here is what it would cost you for, say, 500 full color holiday cards: A nice heavy weight 8 1/2" x 11" ivory linen card stock will cost about $.05 each. Add another $.15 for a matching 6” x 9” ivory envelope. Total cost so far: about $100

Using your ComColor to print your full color graphic design on the front of the card should cost about $.015 each. Your text script on the inside should cost about $.005. Finally, your printing on the outside of the envelope (with a logo, message, and address) might cost you another $.01. Total cost of printing 500 envelopes and two-sided cards: about $15.

That’s it. No address labels to manually apply, no set-up charges, no rush charges, and no waiting. Just print ‘em and mail ‘em! The total time to print 500 cards and envelopes: about 15 minutes! Total cost: $115! The savings on this job alone would likely pay your January lease payment on your ComColor inkjet printer – and that makes for a very happy new year!
