This applies a double-sided tape to the back of the print which is both secure and permanent. However, in the case of a Christmas type card, you might prefer a tacky tape dispenser. Stationery stores carry them and they're not very expensive. With such a device you can roll down a double-sided tacky tape on the back of the print which will adhere it to the card but allow it to be removed and kept in a scrapbook or placed in a frame by the recipient. The aforementioned ATG gun is a wonderful tool to have around the studio, especially useful in placing a paper backing on frames and/or adhering two pieces of matboard for framing. It's great for placing photos in albums too. Much faster than conventional methods involving removing double-sided tape from sandwiched non-stick backing.
