Ten cards. Your boat. Anything inside.
A pack of ten folded A5 cards with the same editorial typography as our prints — boat name in display serif, canal route, the day that mattered. Cards arrive blank inside so you can write whatever the moment is. Envelopes included.
Setting your name…
350gsm silk
Heavy enough to feel substantial in the hand, soft enough that it won't feel like a corporate flyer. Coated silk for crisp ink.
Blank inside
Pre-creased, ready to fold. The inside is blank cream paper — your handwriting, your message, your moment.
Ten of each
Plain white C5 envelopes that fit the card flat. Ready to address, stamp, post.
A few common ones.
- Are all ten cards the same design?
- Yes — one design across all ten cards. The pack is meant for one boat, one occasion: a Christmas run, a moving-aboard announcement, a thank-you to the marina who took your delivery while you were cruising.
- What about the back of the card?
- A small "Narrowboat · Gifts" mark in the bottom corner of the back. Otherwise blank — no logos, no barcodes, no clutter.
- Can I order fewer than ten?
- Not at the moment — Gelato's per-item pricing only makes economic sense in a pack of ten. We'll add smaller packs if there's demand. Tell us if that's you.
- Returns?
- Personalised goods are made-to-order, so we can't accept returns for change of mind. If they arrive damaged or wrong, email us a photo within 14 days and we'll reprint them. Full details on our returns page.

How it's made
No warehouse. UK press. Tube and tag.
A short note on what your order touches between "Buy" and "delivered." We don't carry stock — every print starts life the day after the order lands. It's slower than a same-day delivery, and a lot quieter.
- Press
- British production via our print partner — Wakefield or Royston, depending on order routing on the day.
- Paper
- FSC-certified mill stock. 200gsm coated silk for the standard print, 250gsm uncoated for archival.
- Colour
- You see sRGB on screen; the press prints in FOGRA39 CMYK. The conversion makes deep greens and oxblood reds sit a touch more muted on paper than they look on a backlit display. Worth knowing.
- Lead time
- 1–2 working days at the press, then Royal Mail Tracked 48 — typically 2–4 working days transit on the British mainland. We email tracking the moment it ships.
- Packaging
- Kraft mailing tube, parcel tag, no plastic. The tube is sized for the print, not for flat-pack convenience — there's a reason a rolled poster lays flatter than a folded one.
- If something's wrong
- Send a photo within 14 days and we reprint — see returns. Personalised goods are exempt from change-of-mind returns under UK CCR 2013.
