Q: I am planning on making photo notecards and was looking for sleeves to put them into. I typically use 4×6 photos that I mount on cards with matching envelopes. I am looking to buy in bulk to make sets as gifts for the holidays.

A: The display sleeves measure 5″x6″ with the flap folded over and are large enough to hold 10 folded note cards (4.25″x5.5″) and 10 envelopes. If you want to mount a 4×6 photo onto a card, I would recommend using our 5×7 greeting cards and envelopes. However, we do not have any display sleeves that will fit that size.

Q:  Do you offer a heavier tag stock?  Maybe 13 point?  Do you offer any hole reinforcement?  Can I print on both sides? Can I get canary yellow stock?  If so, what is the price?

A:  We do not currently offer a 13 point cardstock in our Blank Printable Tags, because most people’s printers will not handle that paper thickness.  Also, we do not currently offer hole reinforcements.  You can print on both sides of the tag paper.  The paper we use is not available in a yellow, but it does come in a manila color.  Please contact us for a custom quote.

Q: Is it legal to mail utility bills on just the postcard? Or will it need to be put into an envelope?

A: We have many municipality and utility customers all over the country who use our utility postcards for their billing without enclosing them in an envelope. They are able to mail the bills for the less than the cost of a first class stamp alone!

Q: Do you have glossy notecard stock as well (similar to the glossy jumbo postcard stock)? Do you know the weight of the heavier cardstock for photo cards?

A: We do not currently have a glossy note card stock, just the matte finishes. The NoteCard-Photo Matte Inkjet (Item#NC-PMI) are 208gsm or 78lb cover.

Here’s how I started a recycling initiative in my office:

1. I located a company and 2 schools near our office that accept mixed paper for recycling.

2. Then, I determined which recycled papers were accepted (office paper, envelopes, phone books, catalogs,

newspapers, junk mail, books, tissue/cereal boxes, etc.).

3. I am the designated person to take the paper for recycling to the location.

4. Next, I put recycling bins at everyone’s desk and in common areas.

5. Finally, I advised staff that I would collect the items at the end of each month and posted a note on each box of the restrictions.

We recently selected a new logo.  While updating our new Blank Print-Your-Own Labels™ and the forms we use for sample letters, we realized that address placement IS important?

According to the USPS Elements on the Face of Mailpiece:

Delivery Address Placement

On a letter-size piece, the recommended address placement is within the optical character reader (OCR) read area, which is a space on the address side of the mailpiece defined by these boundaries (see Exhibit 2.1, OCR Read Area):

a. Left: 1/2 inch from the left edge of the piece.

b. Right: 1/2 inch from the right edge of the piece.

c. Top: 2-3/4 inches from the bottom edge of the piece.

d. Bottom: 5/8 inch from the bottom edge of the piece.

Return Address

A domestic return address must be placed in the upper left corner of the address side of the mailpiece or the upper left corner of the addressing area. If the return address is a multiple delivery address, it must show a unit designator (e.g., an apartment number).

Are you looking to print postcards through Quick Books? If so, we have a how to page to help you step through that process, How to Save Money By Printing Your QuickBooks Invoices on Postcards.

Or, if you are looking to print the packing slip and shipping label on the same page, use our Peel Out!® Shipping Label Sheets (Item # LS-QB). It is designed for use with Quick Books (QB) . The way the label is positioned, if you print your regular packing slip out of QB directly onto the label sheet, then the shipping address will print on the label, and you can peel out the label and affix to your box.
