Top five Greeting Card trends for 2021

Are you looking for some design ideas? To help you get your creative juices flowing, we’ve compiled a list of the top Greeting Card trends for 2021.

Being cooped up for months at a time has made staying in contact more vital than ever. Print trends change often, and we at http://www.truecolors.pk are committed to keeping you up to date. Let’s take a look at what’s likely to be big this year, whether you’re starting a new collection or are a total design rookie.

Eco-friendly Greeting Cards

Greeting cards that are environmentally responsible are a trend we wish to see continue for a long time. We’re devoted to sustainability in our own product line, and it’s wonderful to see our consumers opting for environmentally friendly Greeting Cards designs. Creating eco-friendly print might be difficult at times, but starting with greener paper options is a smart place to start. From recycled versions of our most popular papers like Silk and Uncoated to the earthy tones of carbon-neutral Kraft paper, there’s something for everyone. Every time, our eco-papers produce a high-quality result. Even Acquerello, our textured paper, is FSC Certified, so you can add a touch of elegance to your environmental efforts.

A handmade effect

It’s never been easier to print your own greeting cards in this day and age. However, it’s possible that all of this immediate high-tech wizardry, courtesy of businesses like Moonpig and Thortful, has resulted in a greater love for handwritten cards.

Not everyone has the time (or patience) to hand-make their greeting cards, no matter how much we’d like to. There are, however, a number of easy things you can do to give your designs a hand-made feel.

The texture is the first thing that comes to mind. A textured paper offers patterns a less machine-perfect finish, with a distinct feel that harkens back to a time when handmade papers and hand-painted designs were the norm. Textured paper is ideal for calligraphy, artistic, and vintage designs, with stocks like Nettuno and Laid being particularly popular for Greeting Cards because to their ease of use.

A Foiled finish

If you’ve spent more than 10 minutes on our site; http://www.truecolours.pk you’ll know how much we adore a Special Finish, and it appears that the world’s greeting card designers agree.

Because of how it can be utilised to enhance nearly any design, foiling is one of the most flexible finishes available. Whether you use a little or a lot, this shimmering Greeting Card trend isn’t going away anytime soon, whether it’s to add shine to a Thank You Card or to capture the dazzle of festive lights for a Christmas Card. It may be used to accent nearly any colour scheme because it comes in six glossy hues.

Folds, Cutouts and 3D elements

Don’t believe you have to stick to the traditional vertical or horizontal folds when making your own greeting cards. If you need extra room, consider using Gate Folds, which extend out to reveal a secret pattern or a lengthier greeting. Or how about a Z fold, which adds depth to your design?

Unique cuts and 3D features have lately been trendy on greeting cards, and making a more eye-catching design doesn’t have to be difficult. The only restriction here, thanks to our Bespoke Service, is your imagination! Whether it’s as easy as adding thicker, prominent components to the front of your card or going creative with Laser Cutting your own unique pattern or 3D finish, the only limit here is your imagination!

The personal touch

Every greeting card design is as unique as the person who made it, thus an increasing number of artists are personalising their cards. There are literally dozens of ways to add your personal stamp on your designs, from a recurring design feature to unique monograms to something as basic as completing each Greeting Card with your own hand stamp or signature. So, what makes you unique?

You might even go a step further by allowing consumers to contribute their own personal information, such as names and addresses. We can even assist you with this! Here’s a video tutorial on how to set up personalization.
