Before you buy

What you need, and what it doesn't do

What you need

A printer that takes card stock (two-sided printing is easiest) or a print shop, scissors or a trimmer, a ruler, glue or tape; a computer with Chrome or Edge to personalize.

How to personalise

Job emblem, retiree's name, years of service, every line of wording, inside message, sign-off and accent color, typed in the offline personalizer; the inside message can be switched off.

Good to know

The ready-to-print PDF has the general (sunrise) version; the six job emblems and the years line are in the personalizer.
Card and envelope print two-sided (flip on short edge); one-sided printers need a manual second pass.
5 × 7 in size only; no 4.25 × 5.5 in card.
Physical printing, cutting and folding were not tested; geometry was measured in the PDFs.
