What can I put on a custom memorial card?
Anything you'd like!
We can design any card you want! Whether it’s a custom cover photo, bespoke layout, unique size or extra photos anything you can imagine we can probably do (and probably have done in the past!)
So whether it is a favourite flower, place, artwork, hobby or memory we can incorporate it into the design of the card just how you wish. We can also incorporate any additional text or writing you may want on the card in the form of a poem, verse or story or a sample of handwriting such as a signature.
Common types of custom Designs
Although we do a wide range of custom design options there are some customisations that for memorial cards that are more common than others. For example a very high number of the cards we’d do would have a custom background that the customers has supplied us.
Custom Backgrounds
Add your own backgrounds
The background of a memorial card is quite a large part of the overall card design itself, it dictates the colour and feeling of the card and is very much a personal thing to each person’s preference. We try to keep our online range as varied as we can to suit as many people as possible but we know for a lot of customers the preference is to have a unique background included.
Whether it’s your loved ones favourite place, a painting or a local scenic view we can add it onto the card for you. If you’d like to include more than one background too it’s usually no problem also.
Extra photos
Tell a story with your images
Would you like to add in extra photos to your card design? No problem! Whether its multiple photos to create a story of a life, a photo from youth or just some extra favourite photos we can add them in exactly as you want.
The majority of the custom designs we do have extra photos included on them so we’ve plenty of experience making your images work and tie in with any design.
If images need to be edited, cropped or colour corrected we can look after this for you too!
Unique Layouts
It doesn't have to be standard
As memorial cards are quite a traditional thing they usually have a set format which a lot of companies stick with. For example for a folding memorial card you usually have the main information on the left along with a verse on the right and another verse on the back page.
We know this isn’t to everyone’s taste and a lot would prefer things moved around or changed to better suit the overall design of the card.
If you’d like a custom layout it’s no problem, we’re more than happy to discuss what options would best suit.
Let's talk Paper & finishes
Want something unique that stands out? We can help!
Paper makes print – literally! If you’d like a custom option as far as what paper the cards are printed on or how they are finished we have a number of options available to suit.
The majority of our cards are printed on beautifully smooth 350gsm silk card but we also have the option on a number of uncoated and coated cards which are suit to suit your needs.
We can also laminate in gloss and silk/matt too.
Custom card Sizing
It doesn't have to be standard!
Want a size that’s a bit out of the norm, maybe a little bigger or smaller than our standard size? Or something totally unique altogether? Not to worry we have the flexibility to suit your requirements.
We can design a size that suits what you want, most commonly our customers would like either a larger card or a card that opens and folds in a different orientation than standard, all of which are no hassle for us to do. Unsure on what sizing would be best? We can advise based on what you need!
The ordering process for custom cards
We try to keep the process as easy and streamlined as possible all while keeping you involved at every step. Any suggestions or idea throughout the process of designing the cards are very welcome.
Give us the details
These are the basics, like the details of the deceased, photos and a general idea of what you'd like. If you have an preferred colours, layout or photo ideas let us know also - any details help!
We get to work
Once you supply us with the details and general idea of what you'd like the card to be we will then go to work on some design options for you to review for amendments.
You review before print
You give the last say before the cards are printed! Any changes, additions or amendments you would like made before print is no problem at all for us to do.
Custom Memorial Card cost
Want to know the best part? there is no extra cost!*
For design of a bespoke memorial card we do not apply an extra fee. Unlike a lot of print businesses that offer a graphic design service our fee is not hourly and there is no hidden costs. We also have no limit on the amount of revisions, changes or additions that you may want want to make.
The only additional cost that may be applicable on custom memorial cards is if you choose to have a custom card that is larger than our standard sizing or if you want a custom paper type. We are very competitive on pricing regarding this and encourage you to get in touch with us for a quote if you would like custom sizing.
Please note – design is only free of charge if you purchase cards from us, this service is not free for us to do so if you intend to use it just to get some ideas and abandon the order we reserve the right to bill you a fair hourly rate for design work.
