Tiny Prints is a custom photo card service that will help you create the perfect picture card for any occasion. This photo card service receives our TopTenREVIEWS Bronze Award because of its extensive feature set and stunning designs. We were impressed with how gorgeous and creative many of the design templates are, along with their professional appearance. In addition, there are handfuls of tools to help you design a card and order it with ease. This service is excellent for the amateur card designer, but it could be an annoyance for those who have a little more experience with design.
When it comes to the features this picture card service provides, Tiny Prints has plenty to offer. Once you have chosen the design template you would like to use for your card, you will see a list of product details. These include information such as the printing process for the card, the photo size and resolution requirements, the card ink colors and more. This area is very helpful and lets you know exactly what you are getting, before you spend the time designing your card.
In this product detail area, you can also choose to have your envelopes pre-shipped. This gives you the opportunity to have your envelopes already addressed and ready to go by the time your cards come. In addition, you can also choose to have Tiny Prints deliver your cards for you. They will stuff, address, stamp and send all of your cards for you. This feature does cost extra because of the price of stamps and the cost of printing envelopes.
Uploading your photos is also easy using Tiny Prints. You can upload photos directly from your computer or other services such as Picasa, Flickr, Facebook, SmugMug and more. One standout feature this picture card service provides is an RSVP Manager. This allows you to include a web address on your printed invitation photo cards where guests can go to indicate whether or not they will attend your event. This password-protected webpage is custom designed to look like your invite, and you don’t have to stress as much about remembering who has RSVPed and who has not.
Making a card your own with Tiny Prints is fun and easy. You enter in the information for your card and Tiny Prints places it on the digital version of your photo card. However, if you want to completely customize your own photo card, Tiny Prints can be frustrating to use. We spent much time trying to create a fully customized front on a photo card, and even though we were finally able to accomplish the task, it was much more difficult and more time consuming than when we used several similar services.
However, if you want to stick closely to the templates and the overall feel of the templates, you'll have no problems using Tiny Prints. One of our favorite customization features this service offers is the text color tool. Once you’ve entered your information, you can click anywhere in your text and Tiny Prints will provide several options for fonts and colors. They do not offer unlimited colors, which is probably a good thing for many amateur card designers. They only offer colors that would look nice on the design of your card.
If you are looking for gorgeous card designs, Tiny Prints will not disappoint. The designs this custom photo card service offers are attractive, and we had a hard time choosing a template for our card. The only possible criticism is that so few of them are photo cards. That is what we were reviewing specifically – each site’s ability to help you make the best photo cards possible. Tiny Prints has so many adorable designs. If more of them were photo cards, they would have received a higher rating for their selection.
If you are looking for gorgeous cards in general, this might be a good place to start. Photo cards seemed to be more common on other sites, but the quality of the Tiny Prints design templates is unmatched. If you can find a Tiny Prints photo card for your special occasion, it will be exquisite, without a doubt.
Tiny Prints' customer support is excellent. They offer plenty of resources, including phone, email and online chat representatives who are friendly and knowledgeable. They also guarantee your satisfaction 100 percent. If you don’t like your photo cards, Tiny Prints will reprint them at their expense, unless it is your typo.
This picture card service also sells gift certificates, which we were pleased to see. There will always be a reason to use them for making future photo cards. Tiny Prints also offers a gift card service. You can instruct them to attach a Tango Card to any photo card you make, which can be redeemed at favorite retailers, donated to charity or redeemed for cash.
Tiny Prints has a very wide selection of gorgeous cards and a fairly good selection of photo cards intermingled with them. Extra features such as an RSVP manager really help this site stand out compared to many others. Even though there are a few areas that we would like to see improved, such as easier customization options and more photo templates, overall, Tiny Prints will help you create beautiful cards for all the events that take place in your and your family’s life.
Pros
Tiny Prints has gorgeous templates and design options. This service also features an RSVP Manager, which creates a website where guests can RSVP to your upcoming events.
Cons
The limited font color choices may be a drawback for some people. Also, it is hard to fully customize your cards with this photo card service.
Tiny Prints is an excellent service, especially for photo card beginners. This service is ideal if you want to stick closely to the templates and designs provided. It also offers many perks such as an RSVP manager and a delivery service. However, if you want to create a card that is truly unique, it may be difficult to do with Tiny Prints.
