Can You Get a Personalised Card Delivered Next Day in Ireland?
Exact dispatch times, An Post delivery windows and how to make it work when you are cutting it close
By Printarelle · Handmade in Mallow, Cork · June 2026
Yes — you can get a personalised card delivered next day in Ireland, but there are a few things worth knowing before you order. Printarelle dispatches all personalised cards within 1 to 2 working days from Mallow, Co. Cork. An Post then delivers across most of Ireland within 1 to 3 working days. The total window from order to door is typically 2 to 4 working days, sometimes faster if you order early in the day.
If there is a specific date you need a card by — a birthday, an anniversary, a graduation — here is exactly what to expect and how to give yourself the best chance of it arriving in time.
Processing and Dispatch From Mallow, Cork
Every Printarelle card is made to order in Mallow, Co. Cork. When you place an order, the personalisation is applied and the card is prepared and packaged before being handed to An Post. This process takes 1 to 2 working days.
Standard Timeline at a Glance
- Day 1 (order placed): Personalisation applied and card prepared
- Day 1 or 2: Dispatched via An Post with tracked shipping
- Day 2 to 4: An Post delivery across most of Ireland
- Rural areas: Allow an extra day
- Urgent orders: Place before midday on a weekday for fastest dispatch
An Post Delivery Across Ireland
Printarelle ships via An Post tracked delivery. Once your order leaves Mallow, the typical window is 1 to 3 working days. Dublin and major cities tend to arrive at the faster end. Rural addresses and offshore islands may need an extra day.
"Place your order before midday on a weekday and your card will almost always be on its way the same day. That is the single biggest thing you can do to speed things up."
Order Cutoff Times
Orders placed before midday on Monday to Friday are prioritised for same-day dispatch. For very tight deadlines, check the current cutoff time listed on the specific product page.
Does Personalisation Add Extra Time?
At Printarelle, personalisation is built into the standard 1 to 2 working day window. Adding a name, message, or date does not add a separate delay. The one exception is complex foil keepsake cards, where the foil application requires additional handling — even then, most dispatch within 2 working days.
Need a Card in a Hurry?
