Stationery is Timeless Forget the trends. Pick a present that will stand the test of time. Whether the recipient uses their new stationery this month or holds onto it until next year, their timeless stationery will never expire, go out of style, or run out of valuable everyday uses. Stationery is Versatile Not all occasions call for extravagant gifts, but it is always nice to shower the people you love with quality treats to make them smile! Personalized calling cards and correspondence cards make a great "thinking of you" gift, especially at times when more lavish gifts are either not appropriate or not budget-friendly.

Digital printing has become a fast way to print your stationery without sacrificing quality. One great thing digital printing offers that traditional printing usually does not is the printing of a photo supplied by the customer on their stationery. Traditional four color presses could do this job; however not in a cost effective manner. It simply did not make sense to print personalized stationery in four colors. Digital printing makes it easy and cost effective to print quality personalized stationery in full color. There are many photo products available at American Stationery and the number available increases every day! Available products include holiday cards, thank you cards, birthday and baby shower announcements, among others. Each holiday season we all receive those neat holiday cards that feature the most recent family photo of our friends and family. Most of these cards are termed "Photo Mount" cards (see Choosing the Right Holiday Card). They are called this because the photo is mounted to the card with a glue adhesive on the back. What makes digital photo cards unique is that the photo provided by you is printed directly onto the card stock. That’s right, no assembly required. You simply write your holiday wishes on...Read More
