End of Year Greeting Cards
Personalised holiday cards are printed cards you edit online and send at the end of the year. Households and families order them to send one card to everyone on their list, while businesses write to clients and colleagues with a thank-you or season greeting. New Year Badges is a digital printing design on Paperlust Matte, printed as a flat card on one side at 178 x 127 mm, and 20 cards cost A$110.40 with white envelopes included.
Choosing the Greeting
The holiday cards range carries new year and season designs beside Christmas-themed ones, so the greeting can be as specific as you need. The sample greeting on New Year Badges says happy new year and is signed from a family. On Grateful Season the sample wording thanks the recipient for their support this season, signed from a business. On Golden Home the sample message centres on home during the holiday, and it signs off from one family to another.
Every design is edited online before ordering, so you can customise any holiday card to carry season's greetings, a new year note, a thank-you, or your own short message. If you want the wording to name Christmas, the Christmas cards range holds cards with that greeting. Companies that need their card to name Christmas can find those designs in the business Christmas cards range.
Your Photo, the Format and the Size
The three holiday cards named above each have a set number of photo spaces. New Year Badges and Grateful Season take one photo each, while Golden Home has four photo spaces. You add your own photo in the online editor to personalise the card.
The main format difference is between flat and folded cards. New Year Badges and Grateful Season are flat cards printed on one side, and Golden Home is a folded card printed on both sides. All three are 178 x 127 mm and can be ordered in portrait or landscape orientation. New Year Badges defaults to portrait, Grateful Season to landscape, and Golden Home to portrait. If you want a Christmas theme rather than a season greeting on your photo, see the Christmas photo cards range.

Proof, Production and Delivery
Once you submit the design with your wording, a designer puts together your digital proof free of charge. The first proof takes 1 to 2 business days after you order. It places your photo and greeting together on the card so you can check them before any printing begins. Keep asking for edits while anything looks off; there is no limit to the rounds before you approve. Nothing goes to print until you give final approval, and the production times sit in the table above.
For a quick turnaround, the expedite option costs A$50 at checkout. It reduces New Year Badges with digital printing to 1 to 2 business days after proof approval, and Golden Home with flat foil to 3 to 5 working days after proof approval. Grateful Season cannot be expedited. Your holiday cards are printed in Melbourne, then sent at no delivery cost with StarTrack Premium. Metro addresses usually receive the cards the next business day after dispatch. Regional and rural deliveries take longer.
Frequently Asked Questions
New Year Badges, Grateful Season and Golden Home each come with white envelopes, and there is no extra charge for them. If you would rather post them in a different colour, you can choose that on the product page for an added charge per envelope.
All three examples default to Paperlust Matte. Grateful Season is also available on Paperlust Linen, Golden Home on Paperlust Luxe or Paperlust Heavy, and New Year Badges on five paper choices including Paperlust Heavy. The paper does change the price: 20 New Year Badges cards on Paperlust Heavy cost A$155.40, compared with A$110.40 on Paperlust Matte. The product page shows each paper price.
Yes. Grateful Season is written as a business greeting that thanks clients and signs off from a company name, and every line including the sign-off can be changed in the online editor. The photo space accepts whatever photo you add, and the quantity selector goes up to 300 cards.
You can ask for a new crop, a different photo or a reworded line while the proof is still open. Edits are unlimited until final approval. After you approve, production starts and the wording is printed as approved.
A sample pack costs A$5 and lets you feel the paper and see the print finishes side by side. You can also request one printed sample of New Year Badges for A$15. Regular post takes 5 to 7 business days, so order yours early enough to settle your card before the end-of-year send.
The guarantee covers print faults on the cards you receive. On a covered fault, the remedy begins with a new print run. Account credit or a refund follow as the next options. Claims must be lodged within 30 days of dispatch. Approved wording and names from your proof fall outside that cover, so give the proof a close look before signing off.
