A Greeting Card You Can Feel Before You Read It
Most greeting cards get read once and set down. This one gets picked up again, because two raised, tactile effects stack on the front, so a monogram, a name, or a logo sits proud of the 5" x 7" card and catches the light twice. Run a thumb across it and you feel a real ridge of foil against soft velvet, the kind someone keeps on a shelf instead of a stack. Printed in New York since 1999, these start at $629 for 100 and hold a 4.7 out of 5 across 15 reviews. Want to see how it sits next to the rest of the range?

The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 100 starts at $629, two raised foils already included, and the per-card cost keeps sliding as the count climbs to 500, so a full run for a holiday send or a launch costs far less per card than a quick test batch.

What Is a Dual Raised Greeting Card?
A dual raised greeting card is a folded greeting card with two raised, tactile effects layered on the front. At 4OVER4 it prints on a 16 point soft velvet laminated cover, flat at 10" x 7" and scored to fold to a finished 5" x 7", with either two raised foil colors or raised spot UV plus one foil, in gold, silver, or holographic.
Think of it as a greeting card that announces itself by touch. The word dual is the point: two raised elements stack on the same panel, so the front does more than print, it has texture. You set the ink to full color on the front with a blank back, or full color inside and out, choose your foils, and the card scores to fold clean. If you want a single raised effect instead of two, the Raised Foil Greeting Cards run one foil, and the dual sits above them as the version with two.
What Size Are Dual Raised Greeting Cards?
Every card prints one size: a flat 10" x 7" sheet scored down the center to fold into a finished 5" x 7" card. That is the classic A7 greeting card format, with a 5" x 7" front panel for the raised foil and a full inside spread for your message. It slips into a standard A7 envelope, stands on a mantel, and opens to a full 10" x 7" spread. There is no sizing decision to make, just design to the two panels. All the specs below are grouped exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.
What Raised Effects and Foils Can You Choose?
This is where the card earns its name. Option one lays down two raised metallic foils on the front, so you can pair raised gold with raised silver, or run raised holographic against either for a shifting, prismatic edge. Option two swaps one foil for raised spot UV, a clear raised gloss that catches light against the soft velvet without adding a second metal, which is perfect for a subtle pattern behind a single bright foil.
Whichever effect you pick, you still choose your ink coverage. Set 4/0 to print full color on the front and leave the inside blank for handwriting, or set 4/4 to print full color on both sides so a photo or a full design runs across the inside spread. The single 16 point soft velvet stock is what makes all of this work, since its matte, low-glare surface is exactly what the raised gold, silver, or holographic foil needs to stand against.

How Much Do Dual Raised Greeting Cards Cost?
Dual raised greeting cards start at $629 per 100, or $6.29 each with two raised foils included, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs to 500. A run of 250 is $699, about $2.80 each, and 500 is $929, roughly $1.86 each. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-card cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.
How Do You Proof and Print a Folded Card?
A folded card only looks premium if the fold is clean, so 4OVER4 scores every dual raised greeting card down the center before it ships. That stops the thick 16 point stock from cracking along the crease. When you set up your file, design to the flat 10" x 7" layout and mark where the raised foil should land, since that is the area that gets the raised treatment.
If you want a second set of eyes before the press runs, choose Free Online Proof and 4OVER4 sends back a digital proof to sign off, or pick Straight To Production when your artwork is already locked. PDF, JPG, and PNG all upload fine. Prefer to see every option laid out before you order? The whole range is a tap away on the print product range.
How Do Dual Raised Greeting Cards Compare?
Dual raised is the top of the raised greeting card family, but it is not your only move. If you only want one raised effect, or a lighter starting price, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines these cards up against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose. The Raised Spot UV Greeting Cards lead with clear raised gloss, and the Raised Holographic Greeting Cards run a single prismatic foil.
How Fast Can You Get Dual Raised Greeting Cards?
Standard production for these cards is 7 business days, which keeps the price at its lowest and suits a planned holiday or event send. When the date is closer, a 4 business day rush cuts that nearly in half for a set percentage on top, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Either way you are not gambling on the delivery: 99.8% of 4OVER4 orders land on time and 82% ship early, so the raised foil shows up when you planned to hand it over.
