Let’s dive in.
Why Do Businesses Send Large Volumes of Holiday Thank-You Cards Each Year?
Even in a digital world filled with emails, social media, and ads, a handwritten card still achieves something no mass-marketing tool can:
1. It feels personal and intentional
A Christmas card in a unique handwriting conveys warmth. It tells customers, partners, or guests that they matter.
2. It stands out from digital noise
Holiday inboxes are packed with sales emails. Physical cards get attention—and often stay on desks for weeks.
3. It strengthens brand trust
For industries like hotels, real estate, banking, and luxury retail, personal touches play a huge role in loyalty.
4. It boosts word-of-mouth
People share handwritten cards on social media more often than generic printouts. Free brand exposure!
Sending Christmas thank-you cards isn’t just tradition—it’s smart relationship marketing.
The Pain Points of Traditional Handwriting
If your team has ever handwritten 100+ cards, you know the struggle:
- It consumes huge amounts of time
- Employees lose days of productivity
- Inconsistent handwriting looks unprofessional
- Hand fatigue leads to mistakes
- Impossible to scale to thousands of cards
Human handwriting is charming—but only until you need 8,000 of them.
That’s where the iAuto Automatic Writing Machine comes in.
The Advantages of an Automatic Writing Machine
Modern writing robots create real pen-written text that looks completely natural. They're not printers—they’re mechanical handwriting systems that move an actual pen across the paper.
Here’s why businesses love them:
Personalized Text for Every Recipient
With iAuto, every card can have:
- A unique greeting
- The customer’s name
- Personalized messages
- Different sign-offs
- Variable data imported from Excel
No two cards need to be the same.
A Natural Handwriting Style
Unlike printed fonts, iAuto can:
- Match a real human handwriting sample
- Vary strokes and letter shapes
- Adjust pressure, slant, spacing, randomness
- Use any pen (gel pens, metallic pens, calligraphy pens, etc.)
The result?
Cards that look like they were handwritten by a thoughtful human, not generated by a machine.
Real Usage Scenarios of iAuto Automatic Writing Machine

How to Batch-Write Christmas Thank-You Cards with iAuto (Step-By-Step Tutorial)
Here is a simple and practical workflow you can use immediately:
Step 1: Prepare Your Data Sheet
Create an Excel file with four columns:
- Column A: “Dear ” (remember to keep one space after “Dear”)
- Column B: Customer name
- Column C: Card message
- Column D: Company information or signature
This structure lets iAuto automatically combine names and greeting lines.
Step 2: Open UUNA TEK for iAuto Software and Set Up Your Paper
- Open the software
- Create a new paper size matching your real card
(Example: 11.5 × 17 cm)
This ensures all elements print exactly where you want them.
Step 3: Add Three Text Boxes
You’ll create three separate text areas:
- Name field
- Message content
- Company sign-off
Click the upper-left corner of each text box to select it.
Drag to adjust position, or change the font and size as needed.
Step 4: Bind Data (A1+B1, C1, and D1)
- Select the text box’s arrow icon (upper left)
- A dialog box will appear
- Click Bind
- Bind each text box like this:
| Text box | Bind to |
|---|---|
| Greeting / Name | A1 + B1 |
| Content | C1 |
| Company info | D1 |
This tells iAuto which row to pull data from.
Step 5: Batch Generate Cards
- Click Batch application data
- Choose the third option
- Continue clicking Next until you reach Browse file
- Select the Excel file you created
The software will automatically generate 20 unique cards (or thousands, if your sheet contains thousands of rows).
Fully automated personalization!
Step 6: Adjust Layout and Print
- Preview each generated card
- Adjust fonts or positions if needed
- Click All to generate all pages
- Or enter a range (like 1–5) to produce only selected cards
Load your physical cards, press Write, and let the machine handle the rest.
Your handwritten Christmas cards are now ready—fast, accurate, and beautifully consistent.
