Custom Printed Thank You Cards

Custom Printed Thank You Cards UK for Ecommerce, Retail & Small Businesses

Custom printed thank you cards are branded cards designed to be placed inside ecommerce orders, retail bags, gift boxes and customer parcels. They give businesses a simple way to add a thank-you message, logo, QR code, discount information or other useful brand content directly inside the order.

Packonic's current UK thank you cards are available in A7, A6 and A5 sizes, with 300 GSM Matt or 350 GSM Glossy paper options. Businesses can choose single-sided or double-sided printing, with full-colour CMYK digital printing and orders currently starting from 250 cards.

For online shops and growing brands, business thank you cards can work as more than a simple message. The same card can function as a packaging insert, order insert, customer appreciation card or post-purchase information card depending on the artwork and message used.

Whether you need branded thank you cards, personalised thank you cards, thank you cards with logo, thank you for your order cards or ecommerce packaging inserts, the right format depends on card size, paper finish, print sides and how much information needs to appear on the card.

What Are Custom Printed Thank You Cards?

Custom printed thank you cards are branded cards added to customer orders to communicate a thank-you message or other post-purchase information. Unlike a generic greeting card, they are usually designed around a business, product order or packaging experience.

They can be placed inside:

• Ecommerce parcels
• Mailer boxes
• Retail shopping bags
• Gift boxes
• Subscription boxes
• Beauty and cosmetics orders
• Fashion and accessory orders
• Handmade product orders
• Click & collect packages

This makes them especially useful for businesses searching for package insert cards, parcel insert cards, order insert cards or thank you cards for customers.

Which Thank You Card Sizes Are Available?

Packonic currently offers three thank you card sizes: A7, A6 and A5. The correct size depends on how much information you want to print and how much space is available inside the packaging.

A7 Thank You Cards – 74 x 105 mm

A7 thank you cards are the most compact option in the current range. At 74 x 105 mm, they are particularly useful when you want a simple branded insert without taking up much space inside the order.

A7 works well for:

• Short thank-you messages
• Small logos
• QR codes
• Social media details
• Simple discount messages
• Small ecommerce parcels
• Jewellery and accessory packaging

Choose A7 when the main requirement is a compact thank you insert card rather than a card containing large amounts of text.

A6 Thank You Cards – 105 x 148 mm

A6 thank you cards provide more room for branding and content while remaining compact enough for most ecommerce packaging.

A6 is a versatile choice for:

• Thank-you messages
• Logo and brand story content
• Discount codes
• QR codes
• Care instructions
• Review requests
• Social media information
• Referral messages

For many ecommerce brands, A6 provides a useful balance between available print space and the physical size of the packaging insert card.

A5 Thank You Cards – 148 x 210 mm

A5 thank you cards provide the largest printable area in the current Packonic range.

This format is useful when the card needs to carry more detailed information such as:

• Longer customer messages
• Product care instructions
• Multiple QR codes
• Returns or support information
• Brand story content
• Product instructions
• Promotional information

A5 may be more appropriate for larger mailer boxes, gift sets and ecommerce orders where the insert is intended to perform several communication functions at once.

Which Thank You Card Size Should I Choose?

Choose A7 for short messages, A6 for most standard ecommerce inserts and A5 when you need substantially more information or a larger visual impact.

• A7 – 74 x 105 mm: compact thank-you message, logo, QR code or small promotion.
• A6 – 105 x 148 mm: versatile format for customer messages, discounts, QR codes and standard order inserts.
• A5 – 148 x 210 mm: larger insert for detailed information, care instructions or more extensive branding.

The best custom thank you card size should also fit comfortably inside the packaging without bending, folding or dominating a small parcel unnecessarily.

300 GSM Matt or 350 GSM Glossy: Which Should I Choose?

Choose 300 GSM Matt for a more understated, non-shiny presentation and 350 GSM Glossy when you want a heavier card with a glossier visual finish.

300 GSM Matt Thank You Cards

300 GSM Matt thank you cards provide a substantial card weight with a matt finish. They are particularly suitable for businesses that want a clean, restrained presentation.

Matt cards can work well for:

• Minimal branding
• Typography-led designs
• Simple ecommerce packaging
• Modern retail brands
• Designs where a non-reflective appearance is preferred

The current 300 GSM Matt product can be printed on one or both sides.

350 GSM Glossy Thank You Cards

350 GSM Glossy thank you cards use a heavier card specification with a glossier visual finish.

Glossy may be preferable when:

• Your artwork uses strong colours.
• You want the card to feel more substantial.
• Photography or colourful graphics are important.
• You prefer a shinier presentation.

The current 350 GSM Glossy option is also available with one-side or two-side printing.

Single-Sided or Double-Sided Thank You Cards?

Choose single-sided printing when your message is short; choose double-sided printing when you want to separate the thank-you message from promotional or practical information.

Single-Sided Printing Works Well For:

• Logo and thank-you message
• Short promotional message
• One QR code
• Social media information
• Simple brand artwork

Double-Sided Printing Works Well For:

• Thank-you message on the front
• Discount code on the reverse
• Care instructions
• Review or feedback request
• QR code
• Returns or customer-support information
• Social media and website details

Packonic's current custom thank you card printing options include both one-side and two-side formats across the available paper choices.

What Should I Print on a Business Thank You Card?

A business thank you card should begin with a clear thank-you message and then include only the extra information that is useful after the purchase.

Depending on the business, the card can include:

• Your logo
• A short thank-you message
• Customer service details
• Website address
• Social media handles
• QR code
• Discount or promotional code
• Review request
• Referral information
• Product care instructions
• Returns information
• Brand story

The card does not need to contain every possible message. A clear thank you for your order card is usually easier to understand when the main message remains visually obvious.

Thank You for Your Order Cards for Ecommerce

Thank you for your order cards are particularly relevant to ecommerce because the parcel may be the first physical interaction a customer has with the brand.

The card can sit directly inside the parcel and give the customer a clear branded message immediately after opening the order.

Typical ecommerce uses include:

• Fashion orders
• Beauty and cosmetics
• Jewellery
• Accessories
• Homeware
• Handmade products
• Subscription boxes
• Gift products
• Small-batch brands

For online retailers, ecommerce thank you cards can also function as an information layer without adding extra labels or printed sheets to the parcel.

Packaging Insert Cards for Online Orders

A thank you card can also function as a packaging insert card when it contains information related to the customer's order or next interaction with the brand.

Common package insert uses include:

• Thank-you messages
• Discount codes
• Referral offers
• Review requests
• QR codes
• Care instructions
• Product information
• Social media details
• Customer service information

This makes the same product relevant to searches for custom packaging inserts, printed packaging inserts, order inserts, box inserts and parcel inserts where the requirement is a flat printed card rather than a structural box insert.

Thank You Card vs Packaging Insert: What Is the Difference?

A thank you card is defined mainly by its message, while a packaging insert is defined by its role inside the order. The same printed card can be both.

For example:

• A card saying only “Thank you for your order” is primarily a thank you card.
• A card containing a thank-you message plus a discount code is both a thank you card and a promotional insert.
• A card containing care instructions is functioning as an information insert.
• A card containing a QR code to customer support is functioning as a post-purchase insert.

This distinction allows the page to cover relevant packaging insert card intent without changing the primary product away from custom printed thank you cards.

Can I Add a QR Code to a Thank You Card?

Yes. A QR code can be included in the artwork as long as it is large enough and printed clearly enough to scan reliably.

A QR code can link customers to:

• Your website
• A product-care page
• A review page
• A loyalty programme
• A discount landing page
• Social media
• Customer support
• Product instructions

The QR code should be tested at its final printed size before approving the artwork, especially on the smaller A7 format.

Can I Print a Discount Code on Thank You Cards?

Yes. Discount codes can be included as part of the printed design. A common layout is to place the thank-you message and logo on the front and the promotional code or next-purchase message on the reverse.

This is especially useful for ecommerce and retail brands using order insert cards as part of a repeat-purchase campaign.

If individual customers require different unique codes, that is a different production requirement from printing the same promotional code on every card and should be confirmed separately before ordering.

Thank You Cards for Small Businesses

Custom thank you cards are particularly useful for small businesses because the current Packonic product starts from 250 pieces rather than requiring a very large print run.

They can be used by:

• Independent ecommerce stores
• Etsy-style handmade brands
• Small fashion labels
• Jewellery businesses
• Beauty brands
• Gift businesses
• Homeware brands
• Artists and makers
• Subscription businesses

For businesses searching for small business thank you cards, the 250-piece starting quantity provides a way to test artwork or messaging before moving into larger quantities.

Branded Thank You Cards for Retail Stores

Branded thank you cards can also be used in physical retail rather than only ecommerce orders.

A retailer can place a card inside:

• Shopping bags
• Gift boxes
• Click & collect orders
• Seasonal gift packaging
• Product boxes
• Event purchases

This gives retail businesses a consistent customer thank you card that can be used across in-store and online order handover.

Thank You Cards for Subscription Boxes

Subscription box thank you cards can provide a repeatable communication space inside every delivery.

They can be used to include:

• A welcome message
• Information about the current box
• A preview of the next delivery
• Referral information
• QR codes
• Social media messaging
• Customer-support information

Because the card design can be updated between print runs, subscription businesses can also change the message as campaigns or products change.

Thank You Cards for Beauty, Fashion & Lifestyle Brands

Printed thank you cards work particularly well in product categories where the packaging and unboxing presentation are already an important part of the order.

Relevant sectors include:

• Fashion
• Beauty and skincare
• Cosmetics
• Jewellery
• Accessories
• Homeware
• Gift brands
• Handmade goods

The card can use the same logo, colours and typography as the wider ecommerce packaging to keep the visual identity consistent.

Thank You Cards With Logo & Full-Colour Printing

Packonic thank you cards support CMYK digital printing, allowing logos, text and multi-colour artwork to be printed on the card.

The current product specification includes:

• Colour: CMYK
• Print process: Digital Printing
• Print sides: Front or Front & Back
• Ink: Water-based food-safe ink
• Paper: 300 GSM and 350 GSM options
• Finish: Matt or Glossy

This makes the product suitable for both simple logo thank you cards and more detailed branded artwork.

Are Packonic Thank You Cards Recyclable?

The current Packonic product specification lists the thank you card as recyclable.

Actual recycling acceptance can still depend on the local waste collection system and the condition of the card after use. Businesses should therefore distinguish between the material specification and the recycling rules available in the customer's area.

Are Thank You Cards Food Packaging?

No. Thank you cards are printed communication inserts, not primary food packaging. Although the current product specification lists water-based food-safe ink, the card should not be treated as a replacement for direct food-contact paper, food pouches or other packaging designed specifically around food.

This distinction is important for brands selling confectionery, baked goods or other food products: the food should remain in its appropriate primary packaging, while the thank you card can be added separately inside the outer order or gift packaging.

Thank You Cards vs Business Cards: Which Should I Use?

Use a thank you card when the main purpose is post-purchase communication; use a business card when the main purpose is contact and professional identity.

A thank you card usually provides more room for:

• A customer message
• A discount code
• Product information
• A QR code
• Care instructions
• Review or referral messaging

This is why business thank you cards should not be treated simply as oversized business cards. Their role is primarily connected to the customer's order or post-purchase experience.

Thank You Cards vs Flyers: What Is the Difference?

A thank you card is usually smaller and more directly connected to an existing customer order, while a flyer is generally designed for broader promotional communication.

If the message is primarily “thank you for your purchase” with a small amount of additional information, a branded card is usually the more focused format.

If large amounts of promotional copy, several offers or extensive product information are required, a larger marketing insert or flyer format may be more appropriate.

How to Order Custom Printed Thank You Cards

Packonic's current ordering process lets businesses choose the card specification and submit artwork online:

1. Select the Size: choose A7, A6 or A5.
2. Select the Paper: choose 300 GSM Matt or 350 GSM Glossy.
3. Select Print Sides: choose one-side or two-side printing.
4. Select Quantity: choose from the available quantities starting from 250 cards.
5. Design Online or Upload Artwork: use Packonic's online design tool or upload an existing design.
6. Checkout: complete the order using the required delivery option.
7. Approve the Final Design: Packonic's design team reviews the artwork and sends a proof for approval before production begins.

This gives businesses a direct route from choosing custom printed thank you cards UK to approving the final artwork for production.

How to Choose the Right Thank You Card for Your Business

Start with the amount of information you need to communicate, then choose the size, paper and print sides.

1. Only a short thank-you message? Start with A7.
2. Need a discount code, QR code or additional information? A6 is a versatile middle option.
3. Need detailed care or product information? Consider A5.
4. Want an understated finish? Choose 300 GSM Matt.
5. Want a heavier glossier card? Choose 350 GSM Glossy.
6. Need only one core message? Choose single-sided printing.
7. Need to separate the thank-you message from other information? Choose double-sided printing.

This approach is more reliable than choosing personalised thank you cards by appearance alone because the amount of content and available parcel space determine which format works best.

How to Build a Complete Ecommerce Unboxing Setup

Custom thank you cards work best as one part of a complete ecommerce packaging system.

1. Protect the order: use Custom Printed Mailer Boxes where the product needs protective shipping packaging.
2. Add branded wrapping: use Custom Printed Tissue Paper around suitable products.
3. Add the thank you card: place the branded card where the customer will see it when opening the order.
4. Add seals or labels where required: use Custom Printed Stickers & Labels for closures, logos and packaging labels.
5. Add product tags where appropriate: use Custom Printed Hang Tags for fashion, retail and product labelling.
6. Keep the visual identity consistent: use the same logo, colours and typography across the complete package.

This creates a joined-up unboxing system without turning the thank you cards category into a general packaging page.

Which Printed Packaging Insert Should I Choose?

Choose the printed item according to what it needs to communicate or do:

• Custom Printed Thank You Cards – for thank-you messages, QR codes, discounts, care information and customer-order inserts.
• Custom Printed Stickers & Labels – for adhesive branding, closures and product or packaging labels.
• Custom Printed Hang Tags – for product information and branding attached directly to suitable retail products.
• Custom Printed Tissue Paper – for wrapping and presentation inside ecommerce, retail and gift packaging.
• Custom Printed Mailer Boxes – for protective ecommerce and courier shipping packaging.

This keeps the custom printed thank you cards UK page focused on business thank-you cards and packaging inserts while labels, tags, tissue and shipping boxes remain on their own dedicated pages.

Custom Printed Thank You Cards for UK Businesses

Packonic's custom printed thank you cards UK give ecommerce brands, retailers, small businesses, subscription companies and product-based businesses a choice of A7, A6 and A5 cards in 300 GSM Matt or 350 GSM Glossy paper.

Choose single-sided printing for a simple message or double-sided printing when you want to combine a thank-you message with a discount code, QR code, care information or another post-purchase message.

Whether you need branded thank you cards for an online shop, thank you for your order cards for ecommerce parcels, personalised business thank you cards for retail, packaging insert cards for subscription boxes or printed thank you cards wholesale for larger order volumes, the correct choice starts with card size, paper finish, print sides, artwork and the information you want the customer to receive.
