It’s September. Nobody wants to think about Christmas cards yet. But here’s what happens every year at AIM Mail Center in Broomfield, Colorado: the calendar hits November, and every family in Broomfield and every small business in Thornton and Westminster shows up the same week wanting cards, calendars, and mailers.

The people who order in September and October get the best pricing, first pick on paper, and zero stress. Here’s what’s worth ordering early.

For families

  • Holiday photo cards. The big one. Bring your photo on a phone or upload it to our file upload page and we’ll design and print it here. Flat or folded, envelopes included. Ordering early means you can send them the week after Thanksgiving instead of scrambling on December 15.
  • Photo calendars. The gift that grandparents actually use. Twelve family photos, one per month, ready to hang. These take a bit of design time, so October is ideal.
  • Photo books and enlargements. Fall family photos, the senior portrait, the Rocky Mountain National Park trip. Framed prints and canvas make easy gifts.
  • Gift tags, labels, and address labels. Small, cheap, and they make December easier. Return-address labels are a favorite for the cookie-swap crowd.

For small businesses

  • Business holiday cards. A real printed card to your best customers stands out in a stack of emails. We’ll add your logo and print the envelopes too.
  • Holiday mailers and postcards. Running a year-end sale, a service reminder, or a thank-you? A postcard to your customer list gets read. We print them and can help you get them mailed.
  • Menus, flyers, and signage. Restaurants, salons, gyms, and churches in Broomfield and Westminster all have holiday hours, special events, and promotions to announce. Get the flyers and window signs done before Thanksgiving week.
  • Promotional gifts. Pens, mugs, tumblers, calendars with your logo. Our promotional products line has real lead times, so this is the one to order first. Details on our commercial printing page.

Why order in September and October

  • Turnaround is fast now. Most jobs are same-day or next-day. In December, everything takes longer.
  • Paper choices. Specialty stocks and envelope colors sell out.
  • Proofing time. You can see a sample, fix a typo, and reprint without a deadline breathing down your neck.
  • Shipping to family. If the cards or calendars are going to relatives out of state, we can ship them from the same counter before the holiday rush.
