MyPublisher.com Raises the Bar in the Holiday Card Business

NEW YORK, Oct. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- MyPublisher.com, the pioneer in high-quality online Photo Books, has expanded its business with the launch of its own personalized photo card collection, just in time for the 2011 Holiday Season.

"We've studied the online card market extensively," says Carl Navarre, MyPublisher's founder and CEO. "And we see an opportunity to challenge this market with better products— better paper, better design, better envelopes— all at a substantially better price than any competitor. We are taking what customers have wanted for years— gorgeous paper, creative design, and fabulous envelopes with real liners— and finally offering them at an affordable price." Cards and stationery are a natural product extension for MyPublisher, who have been printing millions of custom photo books for consumers at their own state-of-the-art printing facility in Westchester County, New York for over a decade.

"Having our own printing and manufacturing facility gives us a real edge in terms of control over quality, speed of delivery and cost," said Navarre. "Almost all of our competitors out-source all production to third-party printers. Our books and cards are printed by us. And we take quality very seriously."

MyPublisher's cards will be printed on super-heavy 130-pound, 17-point archival-quality cardstock with a choice of five different colors, finishes and textures. MyPublisher's custom-made deluxe envelopes are up to twice as heavy and thick as any competitors and there is a choice of over 30 different colorful envelope liners at no extra charge. Return address printing and shipping are free. Competitors have surcharges for liners, shipping and return address printing. MyPublisher's cards are available in hundreds of design choices, by industry-leading cards designers like Lobird®, Salt&Syrup, Pincushion™, and Co.co Studio. Customers will be able to personalize each design with one or more of their favorite photos and, of course, a personalized greeting or message.
