Hi wan and Emily,
I just checked my record, below are the rates for printing the inserts:
Normal Printing (non-shiny wordings) = 1st 200pcs $100, additional pc is 20cts
Hot Stamping (Shiny wordings) = 1st 200pcs $160, additional pc is 40cts
Cartoon icon = $10 (one time charge for all inserts)
The pic is not printed on the cards but the insert paper, in case i have confused u earlier.
The map can be printed but cant remember how they charge, whether one time or per pc. U may have to check. For me, i decided to print on my own (from web street directory) and send together with my cards to friends n relatives.
If u do not want to use FRF's original cards, the top up will depends on what designs u choose from their catalogue. it can range from 30cts addtional to more than $2. U have to see which one u like and ask them to quote the prices. Even a simple one (looks like FRF's cards) also required top up which i dun think its worth.
I took the red FRF's card coz the ivory one is "An Invitation" wordings, rather than the "Double Happiness (in chinese)"...so end up i took all red ones. Although initially i wanted to have red for relatives and ivory for friends. After comparing, decided to take all red.
