Create Your Own Greeting Cards - card shells from Photographer's Edge

The above is a sample of pricing 100 greeting card shells from Photographer's Edge.

The bright white card with a black border is elegant, can be used for any type of photo or artwork and is their top seller.


100 greeting cards is $102
$15 shipping (UPS ground)
-------
$117 for 100 card shells
= $1.17 per card shell

Protective plastic sleeves are a must to make sure your cards stay clean and crisp for the buyer.  They will also make your cards look more professional if they are in a rack or other type of display.

$1.17 card shell + $0.15 (4x6 photo print) + plastic sleeve protector
= $1.32 final cost per finished greeting card

If you make your prints at Costco, they around $0.13-0.15 each.

Shutterfly tends to have higher quality color reproduction and better in-house quality control. 
Their 4x6 prints are $0.15 each, but you will pay shipping.  They run promotions all the time, especially around holidays, if you spend around $25 or more to get free shipping.
