Real Printed Cards

Print & Send: Order a Real Printed Copy of Your Card

Turn any eligible card into a real, folded 5×7 card printed on thick premium stock — mailing envelope included. We can mail it straight to your recipient, or send you a copy to hand over yourself.

Two Ways to Order

Mail it to them

We print your card and mail it directly to the recipient — you enter their address at checkout. It typically arrives in about 2–7 days in the US and 3–9 days in Canada.

Keep a copy for yourself

The printed card and a blank paper envelope are mailed to you — hand it over in person or mail it yourself, on your own schedule.

One price in USD either way, shown before you pay. No Card Pack is needed — any card you made can be printed, free ones included.

The QR Code on the Back

By default, the back of the printed card carries a small QR code. The paper card is the keepsake; the QR opens the digital card — photos, video, and letters the paper can't hold.

Prefer not to link the card? Switch the QR code off during ordering: the back then carries a small eCards Photos mark and a small QR that opens ecardsphotos.com instead of your card.

The digital card stays online. Printed cards keep their digital companion live for the life of eCards Photos — they never expire like regular free cards. And the downloaded card file is yours forever, offline.

Who Can Order

Print ordering is available to:

  • ✓Any signed-in account holder — guests can create cards, but printing needs an account
  • ✓For cards they created — you can only order prints of your own cards
  • ✓While the card is active — order any time before the card expires

A video or Signature card prints its cover image as the front. Sealed cards can't be printed — they are encrypted end-to-end, so our print partner can never see them. Business plans include prints.

How to Order

1

Find Print and Mail: on the screen after your card is created, on the card's own page, in the card's ••• menu on your dashboard — or read about it under Printed & mailed while you are still making the card.

2

Check the preview: Front, Inside, Message and Back, trimmed to the finished 5×7.

3

Choose Mail it to them or Keep a copy for yourself, and pick the country — US or Canada.

4

Decide whether the back carries the QR code to the digital card.

5

Enter the recipient's name and full address, and your own name for the return address (saved to your profile for next time).

6

Tap Continue to checkout — the price is on the button — and pay on Stripe's secure page. You get a confirmation email, and the order appears under Print orders on your dashboard.

Orders can't be cancelled once they've gone to print — and they go to print quickly after checkout.

Delivery estimates aren't guaranteed — if the card is for a birthday or another fixed date, order early.

Prices are shown at checkout. After any Card Pack purchase, your first printed card comes at a reduced price.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will it arrive?
About 2–7 days in the US and 3–9 days in Canada. Estimates aren't guaranteed, so allow extra time around major holidays.
Can I cancel a print order?
No — orders can't be cancelled or changed once they've gone to print. Double-check the address and preview before you pay.
What if it arrives damaged?
Email support@ecardsphotos.com and we'll reprint it or refund you. A photo of the problem helps us sort it out faster.
Which cards can be printed?
Any card you created, while it is still online. A video or Signature card prints its cover image as the front. A Sealed card cannot be printed — it is encrypted end-to-end, so our print partner could never render it — and neither can a card that has expired.
Does the digital card expire after I print it?
No — it stays online for the life of eCards Photos. Printing is the one thing that lifts a card's normal expiry date.
Do I need a Card Pack to print?
No. Any card can be printed, free ones included. A Card Pack purchase brings your first print at a reduced price, and a Business plan includes prints.

Arrived damaged, misprinted, or lost in the mail? Email us at support@ecardsphotos.com and we'll make it right.
