Postcards, envelopes and gift certificates in Calgary
The small printed pieces that land in mailboxes, ride along with invoices and get tucked into birthday cards. Any size, any occasion.
Quick answer
SURE Print Foothills prints postcards, custom envelopes and gift certificates in Calgary. We produce direct mail and promotional postcards, branded envelopes with your logo and return address, and gift certificates with sequential numbering, all designed and printed in-house, and you approve a proof before we print.
Postcards are the cheapest way to get a full-colour message into someone's hands without an envelope in the way. Envelopes do the opposite job: they make your invoices, letters and statements look like they came from a proper business. And gift certificates are money, so they need to look good and be hard to copy.
We print all three, in whatever size and design you need. Restaurants come to us for gift certificates before Christmas. Dentists send recall postcards. Law firms and accountants order envelopes that match their letterhead. It's simple printing, but it has to be done carefully.
Options
What we print
Direct mail postcards
Full colour on both sides, sized to suit Canada Post mailing. Good for promotions, reminders, just-listed and just-sold cards.
Promotional postcards
Counter stacks, bag stuffers and handouts at events. Same idea as a flyer, on heavier stock that feels worth keeping.
Branded envelopes
Your logo and return address on standard business envelopes, window envelopes and larger catalogue envelopes.
Gift certificates
Custom designed, with sequential numbering so you can track each one when it's redeemed.
Matching sets
Envelopes designed to match your letterhead, business cards and invoices so everything looks like one brand.

Gift certificate tips
Number every certificate and keep a log of what you've sold. Put any expiry or terms clearly on the front or back, and check Alberta's rules on gift card expiry before you add a date. A heavier stock and a design that's hard to reproduce on a home printer also help.
FAQ
Postcards, Envelopes & Gift Certificates questions
How much does postcard printing cost?
It depends on the size, quantity, paper stock and whether you print one or both sides. Send us the details and we'll email a quote. Mailing costs through Canada Post are separate from printing.
Can you print numbered gift certificates?
Yes. We add sequential numbers to each certificate so you can track sales and redemptions.
What envelope sizes can you print?
We print standard #10 business envelopes, window envelopes and larger catalogue envelopes. Tell us what you need and we'll confirm the options.
Do postcards need to meet Canada Post requirements?
If you're mailing them, yes. Canada Post has size, thickness and address area rules, and mail that doesn't fit them can cost more to send. Tell us you're mailing when you order and we'll set up the layout with room for the address and postage.
