GREETING CARD / INVITATION PRINTING IN METRO DETROIT

Impress your guests, clients, or loved ones with elegant, high-quality custom greeting cards and invitations printed right here in Metro Detroit. Whether you are planning a corporate event, milestone celebration, holiday party, graduation, or business announcement, Discount Printing Detroit delivers retail-grade results with the personal, responsive service of a local independent print shop.

We specialize in clean, sharp, professional production with premium stock selections and exact finishing choices that make your invitations stand out from the moment they are pulled from the mailbox.

CHOOSE THE PERFECT SIZE & FORMAT

We offer two highly versatile standard sizes to fit your specific layout, artwork, and branding needs:

5x7 Flat Cards: The perfect classic dimension for single-sheet event invitations, corporate announcements, photo cards, and save-the-dates.
10x7 Folding Cards (with Score): These cards are delivered exactly flat but include a precise machine crease (score) down the middle, allowing them to fold cleanly into a classic 5x7 horizontal or vertical greeting card without cracking the paper fiber or ink.

PREMIUM STOCK CHOICES

Your paper stock sets the tone for your event. Skip the flimsy, budget-grade online papers and choose between two professional-grade, high-end stocks built to look and feel premium:

Uncoated Heavy 16pt Card Stock: A remarkably thick, substantial stock with a crisp, matte, non-glossy finish. It feels incredibly solid in the hand and is highly readable under any light—perfect for clean typography, sophisticated corporate identity, minimalist modern aesthetics, or any design where you want an elegant, touchable texture.
13pt Pearlized Metallic Card Stock: Add a touch of shimmer and luxury to your design. This unique stock features a subtle, luminous pearlescent surface that catches the light beautifully, giving your graphics, colors, and backgrounds a soft, metallic brilliance. Ideal for high-end celebrations, formal galas, holiday greetings, and artistic designs.

CUSTOM PRINTED A7 ENVELOPES OPTION

Don't settle for blank, generic envelopes that get lost in the mail stack. Both our 5x7 and 10x7 card sizes feature a custom matching A7 envelope option.

We provide full-color printing in the upper left-hand corner of the envelope face. This space is absolutely perfect for showcasing your return address alongside a clean corporate logo, themed event graphic, or custom icon, creating a completely cohesive presentation before the envelope is even opened.

FAST, RECOGNIZABLE PRODUCTION TIMELINES

Because we handle our production cleanly and efficiently without retail storefront overhead, we keep our turnarounds reliable and direct:

5x7 Cards: Standard production is 3-4 business days.

10x7 Folding Cards (with Score): Standard production is 4-5 business days to account for precise machine scoring and finishing.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the difference between a scored card and a folded card?

Our 10x7 cards are delivered to you exactly flat but feature a precise, machine-pressed crease (score) directly down the center. This structural score allows you to easily fold the cards by hand when you are ready to assemble your mailings, ensuring a clean, crisp fold that will not crack the thick paper fibers or disrupt your printed design.

What size envelope fits a 5x7 or a scored 10x7 invitation?

Both our flat 5x7 invitations and our 10x7 scored cards (which fold down to a 5x7 dimension) fit perfectly inside a standard A7 envelope. We offer a coordinated A7 envelope option for these products that includes full-color custom printing directly on the face of the envelope.

Can I get full-color printing on both sides of my invitations?

Yes. We offer both single-sided (4/0) and double-sided (4/4) full-color printing options. This allows you to print edge-to-edge photography or graphics on the front of your card while keeping detailed event information, schedules, or maps cleanly organized on the back.

How should I set up my design files for a scored 10x7 card?

Your flat file layout should be submitted at a full 10" x 7" size plus a standard 0.125" bleed on all sides (total document size 10.25" x 7.25"). Ensure that any text or critical graphics sit at least 0.25" away from the center 5-inch mark where the precise machine score line will be placed. If you need a template or a quick file review, email your draft to [email protected] before placing your order.

How fast can I get my invitations printed in Metro Detroit?

Our standard production timeline for flat 5x7 invitations is 3–4 business days, while our 10x7 scored cards take 4–5 business days to account for precise bindery and finishing calibration. Free shipping options are available directly to select delivery zones across Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb Counties.
