Custom postcard tips

Postcards can be used for personal and business purposes. Some families use postcards as holiday postcards or as save-the-date cards for weddings. Businesses use postcards as postcard marketing tools for sale notifications and coupons as well as to reach out to new customers. A mailing list with a specific name is generally more effective than addressing a postcard with “current resident.” Large images and bold taglines are used to draw the reader in. If your postcards are being mailed, you only have a few seconds to capture the audience’s attention. The back of your postcard is just as important as the front of the postcard. The back of the postcard is generally viewed for customer information.

Custom postcard color

Several color postcard printing options are available for your custom postcard order. Full color on both sides of postcards is available. Full color on the front of your postcard with black text on the back and full color on the front with a blank back are the other standard color options. If you are have any questions regarding color options chat with a print professional through our live chat system.

We offer a standard 14 pt cards tock for postcard orders. Both light and heavy card stock gloss paper is available. Environment card stocks are also becoming more popular and are available for custom postcards. To place an order with a custom stock, please fill out our custom quote form online. UV coating is offered with your postcards. This is a protective coating that is great if your postcards are being mailed. Aqueous coating is also available.

Custom postcard size

4.25 X 6 is our most popular size for postcards. 4 X 6, 6 X 9 and 6 X 11 are also available as standard options in the quick quote program. Custom sizes and die-cutting are offered for your postcards. By filling out a custom quote form you can get an estimate on your custom size postcard.

Also, die-cutting may inhibit you from mailing your postcards.
