How's Of Mounting Pics on Greeting Cards
I have some travel photos that I like very much but I'm not ready to try and market anything yet.I would like to make these into greeting cards (mount on greeting card stationary) to send to my customers when I send thank you notes. I'm looking for a supplier of this type of stationary. Any suggestions?

Actually I am not providing an answer, but a follow up question. I have used note cards from Photgraphers Edge and they are excellent, but a bit too pricey. I have sold notecards to gift shops but the price of the cards from Photographer's Edge cuts deeply into the profit margin. The other suppliers you recommended have post cards rather than note cards. So I am looking for other note card suppliers.

Burt,
Yes, I came to the same conclusion about Photographers Edge. They seem to be marketing toward "end users" who are creating personalized cards for themselves. I got their catalog which included a couple of samples which were well made.Not certain what size you are looking for with "note cards" which can be very small or can be about the same as standard "greeting card" size. Modern Postcard:
Has "greeting cards" which is a 4.25 x 6 inch picture printed on 8.5 x 6 inch stock that is folded and scored. This can be done with tabs for use without envelopes, or without tabs for use with envelopes. Psprint:
Also has "greeting cards" in the same style as Modern Postcard without the tabs. They come in three sizes: 5x7 folded to 3.5x5, 6x8.5 4.25x6 (same as Modern Postcard's), and 7x10 folded to 5x7. -- John

John - Thanks for the reply. I have tried modern postcard and was unable to find the notecards. I'll try again. And I'll check out Psprint. There MUST be others...

I too went with Photographer's edge, but I bought a larger quantity and split them with another photographer. We got a better deal at a lower price. I don't know if that helps.

I have just sold about 60 cards this holiday,I started with coloured bristol board cut 11x8in.scored the center with an exacto knife so I would get a clean bend in the card,and mount the pictures in angled slots cut with the exacto.Cost of 6 cards minus photos is 50cents.
