I've been buying and selling the Photobox 'delux A5 cards' for a year or so now, and the quality is first class. If you buy 80+ with this offer it works out at 75p per card - inc VAT (inc envelope).

I sell to a retail outlet at £1.50 and they fall off the shelf at £2.50 (when the tourists are in, assuming you have the right image, and are selling in the right place).

Just thought I'd spread the good news - free money - if you get it right. (MUST be 2 for 1 to make it pay, and MUST NOT give away to granny)

ETA... just a tip - do one first (£2.50) and see if the local retail will sell.

Also, Photobox give 10% from each card to charity .... so you'll do some good as well smile

If those are the 57mm x 42 mm (ish) cards... then be careful, as the text on the back has never turned up in the right place. This does however mean that you complain and get a second delivery FOC - but they will agin have text in the wrong place.

I was thinking of just leaving the back plain.

Looking at it again though if the quality is good and it's decent card the postcards wouldn't do too bad as a marketing cards for shows etc

If you're leaving the back plain then 640 for £100 is a great value.

I did some of the other sized greetings cards for Christmas cards last year - whilst not the cheapest way to do cards, the quality is good, and they were a hit with the punters (friends, relatives, etc.)

Tha A5 delux cards have 'printed by www.photobox.co.uk' in light grey at the bottom on the back. If you choose to give 10% to charity, you get the Alzheimers logo on the back with some more light grey photobox blurb underneath

Actually... just as easy to show you

Cheers Steve, that logo isn't too imposing imo, which is good.
