A Personal Message Shouldn't Come with an Oversized Printing Bill.
Whether you're thanking customers, sending business holiday greetings or printing your own artwork, the price of greeting cards can vary considerably. We compared collected quotes from UPrinting, PrintPlace, Printing for Less and Vistaprint with Bright Print Works greeting cards to show what those differences mean for your next order.
PRINTED OUTSIDE AND INSIDE. $188.
Choose matte or high-gloss front at the same price. Cards measure 10″ × 7″ flat, fold to 5″ × 7″ and arrive scored and supplied flat for easy folding.
What These Prices Include
The tables below use quotes collected on October 16, 2026. They compare order prices for greeting cards in the approximately 5″ × 7″ finished-size category. Envelopes, shipping and tax are excluded from the main comparison tables. Printing for Less prices include the selected coating.
Stock, finish, folding service, production time and promotions differ between quotes. These are collected product quotes, not final delivered checkout totals. Prices may change.

Savings compare the product prices shown above, before shipping and tax. That's money you can put toward another customer mailing or other business needs.
Outside-Only Greeting Card Printing Prices
Prefer a blank inside? 4/0 printing puts your full-color artwork on the front and back covers while leaving the interior blank. It is a practical option for cards you want to personalize after printing.
| Quantity | Bright Print Works | UPrinting | BPW Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 250 | $148.00 | $296.68 | $148.68 |
| 500 | $218.00 | $310.14 | $92.14 |
| 1,000 | $288.00 | $336.00 | $48.00 |
What About Vistaprint?
The collected Vistaprint pricing was $2.10 each for 100, $2.00 each for 250, $1.98 each for 500 and $1.90 each for 1,000. That produces these order totals:
| Quantity | Collected Vistaprint Price |
|---|---|
| 100 | $210.00 |
| 250 | $500.00 |
| 500 | $990.00 |
| 1,000 | $1,900.00 |
Vistaprint is shown separately because the captured selection did not establish printing sides, stock, finish or envelope inclusion. These figures are reference quotes rather than a verified specification-matched comparison.
Order 1,000. Get a FREE Upgrade to 16 pt.
Bright Print Works automatically upgrades every 1,000-card order from 14 pt to thicker 16 pt cardstock. Your price stays $288 outside only or $348 outside and inside. Choose matte or high-gloss front with either printing option. No upgrade code needed.
All Bright Print Works Greeting Card Prices
You don't need a large mailing list to order professional cards. Start with just 25 cards, or choose a larger quantity for a lower price per card. Both finishes use the same pricing.
| Quantity | Outside Only | Outside & Inside |
|---|---|---|
| 25 | $68 | $78 |
| 50 | $78 | $88 |
| 100 | $98 | $108 |
| 250 | $148 | $188 |
| 500 | $218 | $268 |
| 1,000 — FREE 16 pt Upgrade | $288 | $348 |
Envelopes, shipping and applicable tax are additional. Cards are scored and supplied flat.
Look Beyond the Price Per Card
Before placing an order, check the printing sides, coating, cardstock, folding service and delivered total. A quote for outside-only printing serves a different purpose than a card with a fully printed interior.
In the collected quotes, PrintPlace used high-gloss front stock with folding and scoring selected. UPrinting showed scoring only. Printing for Less used 14 pt matte cover with matte aqueous coating and scoring without folding. Bright Print Works cards are scored and shipped flat for you to fold.
For your own order, choose outside only if you want a blank interior, or outside and inside for a complete printed message. Then select the matte or high-gloss front finish that best suits your design.
