[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-su] "In the new year of Im-in-nyeon, send gratitude, hope, and happiness with New Year's greeting cards."

The Korea Post started selling six types of 2022 New Year's greeting cards from the 15th. Welcoming the Year of the Black Tiger, Im-in-nyeon (壬寅年), the cards feature various images of tigers along with positive messages conveying hope and happiness. The New Year's postcards depict the sunrise and waves as images of new hope for the new year. The premium New Year's cards (2 types) are priced at 1,900 KRW, the regular types (3 types) at 1,400 KRW, and the New Year's postcards (1 type) at 800 KRW. The selling price includes postage, so there is no need to purchase and affix stamps separately.

If you purchase more than 300 cards, you can use the 'customized New Year's card service' to print your desired design, logo, signature, photo, etc. on the cards. Including the card, the premium type costs 2,500 KRW, and the regular type costs 1,800 KRW.

As an additional service, you can also print messages inside the card for free. Both black-and-white and color printing are available, with color printing available when purchasing 200 or more cards.

Customers such as companies and institutions can also use the envelope design service to print desired designs and company logos on envelopes for a fee. When ordering 200 or more cards, the color envelope design service costs an additional 150 KRW per card, and the black-and-white envelope logo service costs an additional 50 KRW per card.

Park Jong-seok, head of Korea Post, said, "In the digital age, if New Year's greetings are delivered with analog sentiment, the joy will be doubled," adding, "We hope that messages of hope filled with gratitude and love for precious people exhausted by COVID-19 will become the driving force to start the new year vigorously."

New Year's greeting cards can be purchased at post offices nationwide and through the online post office.
