Greeting cards

The holidays

Send something real.

Whatever you celebrate, send cards they will keep on the mantel, the year in photos, and a book they will take off the shelf long after the decorations come down.

Made around your project.

Tell us what you have in mind. We will help with the details.

Business print and stationery Business cards, letterheads, notepads and branded pieces that represent your business the moment they are in someone's hands. Marketing collateral Flyers, brochures, booklets and presentation pieces made to communicate clearly. Events and invitations Invitations, programs, menus and signage that match the importance of your event. Signage and large format Posters, photographs, fine art prints and display pieces on paper and photo media, and banners, yard signs, rigid boards and stands for indoors and out. Specialty finishes UV coating, laminates, foil, laser-cut shapes and engraving, contour-cut stickers: finishing that lifts both look and feel beyond standard print. Design and event support Help with the design and with the event itself when a project needs it, so every detail comes together.

On your order page

See it before it prints.

You upload the spread, flat.Two panels, as the file lies.

We fold it.On the line it will be creased.

You open it, the way they will.Turn it, read it, approve it.

Try it on a greeting card

Also on books, business cards and posters.

Print gets kept.

A card tucked in with the gift. An invitation on the fridge. This time of year, paper is what people hold on to.

A card with the gift.

Your name goes out with every thank-you this season. Heavy stock and a clean edge keep it in the wallet long after the basket is gone.

An invitation on the fridge.

For the dinner, the candle lighting, the countdown to midnight. It holds its place under a magnet until the night comes.

A postcard in the holiday mail.

It lands with the family cards and gets the same warm look. A real hello to your customers, in a month when they open everything.

A sign on the door.

Holiday hours, a last-minute sale, back in January. Everyone walking past reads it, so it has to look as good as the season does.

When it has to be right.

Paper, color, cut and finish: the details make the difference. We check them before your work leaves the shop.

01No small jobs.The smallest job on the schedule is somebody's whole project. Fifty pieces get the same paper, the same measured color and the same eyes on them as five thousand.
02Our word is our bond.If we say Thursday, we mean Thursday. If something goes wrong, you hear it from us early, and you hear all of it. If the mistake is ours, we make it right.
03Right, or it runs again.If a sheet is off, it does not ship. It runs again, and you never see the one that was wrong.

Talk to the people who will make it. (919) 744-1801 hello@howlingpress.com

Seven steps. No surprises.

From the first conversation to the next project, here is how we work together.

01
Understand

Tell us who it is for, when you need it and what should happen when they hold it.
02
Advise

You get the options and one recommendation, with the reason behind it.
03
Prepare

We look your file over for production, and you approve a proof before we print.
04
Produce

Your job runs on a press profiled for the paper you chose, with consistent color from the first sheet to the last.
05
Inspect

Before the box closes, someone goes through the run against your order: color, cut, finish and count.
06
Deliver

Packed to come out of the box the way it came off the press. Pick it up here, or we ship it with the tracking on your order.
07
Remember

Your account keeps your orders together, and we remember your paper, your colors and how you like things done.

Paper you can feel.

For every piece there is a paper, a finish and a size we would choose ourselves, and every other one if you want to choose them yourself.

Learn about paper

Someone in your corner.

One person follows your project from the first question to the box. Chris, Santannah, Loren and Sunshine bring the print, design and event experience behind it.
