ARE E-CARDS BETTER THAN PAPER CARDS?

on October 31, 2025

In today’s fast-paced digital world, a message can travel across continents in seconds. A birthday wish appears in a notification, a thank-you arrives in an email, and celebrations unfold in emojis.

But in the midst of this convenience, we are losing the value, warmth and intentionality that comes with sending Greeting cards. E-cards may be easy to send, but paper cards still hold a kind of magic that screens can’t quite capture; something you can hold onto.

At Not Just Pulp, we believe in keeping the magic of tangible connection alive. Our cards are designed to help you express what matters most, in moments that count.

 

WHY PAPER CARDS STILL MATTER

1. THEY CREATE A LASTING MOMENT

When an e-card is sent to your loved ones, they view and with just one tap; it disappears. But a paper card lingers, as it asks for intention.
From choosing your words and expressing your emotions with care, to the process of the recipient unfolding the card and reading each line; This is a heartfelt experience on its own.

The memories also tend to last longer than just viewing an e-card, because paper cards turn an ordinary message into something meaningful.

 

2. THEY CARRY EMOTION IN EVERY DETAIL

Unlike an e-card that flashes across a screen, a paper card engages touch and sight. The feel of the paper, the color and choice of the design, and emotions behind the message all combine to create a multisensory experience that lasts.

A Not Just Pulp card does exactly that. Every design carry meaning, humor, or warmth that mirrors real human connection. It tells the recipient, “You didn’t just think of me, you took time for me.”

 

3. THEY BECOME TANGIBLE MEMORIES

An e-card vanishes into the digital inbox as quickly as it arrives, but paper cards have permanence. Years later, we still find ourselves opening drawers and rediscovering them. They can also be placed on bookshelves, or tables to remind us of someone’s care.

They tell stories long after the moment has passed, and are artifacts of affection.

 

4. THEY INSPIRE INTENTIONAL CONNECTION

Writing a card requires time and thought, which makes it a very powerful means of connection.

It is a tangible proof of care, effort and intentionality. A mindful act that shows someone that they are worth going all out for.

Whether it is a quick thank-you, a heartfelt apology, or a simple note of love; Paper cards create presence in absence.

When the moment deserves thought and sincerity, or your words are better felt than read on a screen, send a paper card. Explore Not Just Pulp’s thoughtful designs for different moments:
