Why choose a recordable card?

It's fun and easy to do. It's something that your friends and family will remember and enjoy for a long time. And it solves a few of those pesky issues about sending cards – like not sending them because you don't like your handwriting or you're concerned about spelling and punctuation marks. You can focus on what you want to say and on the person you’re saying it to.

Do you have tips on what to say or what I could record?

For creative tips, helpful hints and idea starters check out the Idea Gallery and our Facebook Page.

How many times can my message be replayed?

Your message can be replayed about 200 times with the original batteries. The batteries use power whenever the card is open. To prolong battery life, do not store the card in an open position or leave it open for an extended period of time.

What kind of batteries are used? Can they be replaced?

The cards use three LR1130 1.5 volt button cell batteries. The recordable module is built so the batteries can easily be replaced. The chip that stores your message is designed to last for many years. It has non-volatile memory which means your message is safely stored even without batteries.

What sizes are the recordable cards?

There are two sizes. The photo holder cards are 5x7, the square cards are 5x5. Both sizes are also available as Blanks.

How do I use the photo holder cards?

The photo holder cards provide an instant frame for your photo. Just position the photo behind the die-cut frame panel. Double sided tape for attaching your photo is included with the card.

What size photos can I use in the photo holder cards?

The die-cut opening is 3x4, so the photo holders will fit both 4x6 and 3x5 photos. The artwork frames are designed to work with either vertical or horizontal photos.

How do I use the Blank cards?

Just use the Blank card as a size template and create your own masterpiece on a separate piece of paper. Cut your design to fit and then use glue or double sided tape to attach the finished design to the card. This gives you more than one chance to create the perfect card and it protects the recording module from being damaged.

What kind of paper is used for Vocal Greetings’ cards?

Our paper is a sturdy 120# coated cover stock in soft white with a gloss finish. It is acid-free recycled paper that is also certified PEFC. The PEFC Council is a non-profit, worldwide organization that promotes sustainable forest management and recycling through independent certification. More information is available at www.pefc.org.
