Love the ease ordering thorugh Vista as I have my file saved. Log on, reorder and it was with me during the Christmas rush period in record time! Thank you!

Excellent colour printing

We ordered double sided postcards for our save the date invites. We scanned and uploaded our own custom illustrations for the design and were able to easily crop and adjust the image to fit the printing area. Whilst I was initially concerned about ordering online with no sample print, when they arrived, I was pleasantly surprised how vibrant and true the colours were. I’ve attached a photo of the original and the vista print for reference. The vista print actually ended up looking better than the original watercolour painting. We did upgrade to a premium card stock that had a nice textured finish and it was easy to write addresses on the back. Delivery was fast even though we only went with standard shipping. Highly recommend

Last Minute Design, No worries!

My boss asked my to put together postcards at short notice and I was able to use a base template to create the perfect postcard in less than half an hour. This was the first time I had tried to use the templates and they worked great. The process was quick and easy and within a week they were printed and shipped to us ready to handout. The final product that arrived looks professional and amazing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our essential postcards are made from 300 gsm paper stock. These entry-level postcards are perfect for those who have a tight budget or who are just getting started.

Standard postcards are a classic choice for most businesses. These are our most traditional postcards and are 350 gsm in thickness.

Premium postcards feature thicker paper stocks (up to 400 gsm) and a variety of eye-catching textures and finishes, like ridged, indestructible and soft touch. These cards are made to stand out.

You can use them in a wide variety of ways. Some popular approaches for businesses include package inserts, coupons, thank you cards, street marketing handouts and more. At home, you can use them to send out handwritten notes, invites or save-the-dates.

Our postcards are printed on a paper stock which is thicker than the paper stock that our flyers are printed on. If you’re looking for more durable marketing that you want people to hold on to, we recommend choosing our postcards.

Yes. We offer a wide range of industry-specific postcard templates. Click on “Browse designs” to explore your options. Our design experts can also create a design for you from scratch. Simply submit your request here.

Yes. After you’ve chosen the quantity, you’ll be able to upload your finished design. Here are some design tips we recommend for optimal results:

  • Keep your design simple. Always remember that postcards are small, so a lot of complicated information can overwhelm the recipients. Identify the top few things you want a customer to know, and then focus on those points. Including a strong call to action – a website URL, phone number or address – gives people a way to learn more once they’ve become interested in what you have to say. Readability is also key – keep font size to at least 10 points.

  • Stand out with photography or a logo. Your business postcard will be competing for attention with other promotional pieces – in a letterbox, on a notice board or even in your store. Bold colours, a high-quality image or your logo can help your postcard to stand out and attract attention.

  • Create a consistent look. It’s easy to use your font choice, logo and colours to create a matching business look across other marketing products, like business cards, signage and more. With a few matching products, you’re well on your way to establishing a recognisable, professional brand.

Our natural uncoated, recycled matte and cotton postcards are the best for writing on, with all types of pens. Of course, you can write on our other paper options too – but we’d just suggest testing with a few different pens first, as the coating might cause some inks to smudge or take a while to dry.

This depends on your order and the delivery speed that you choose.

For a full breakdown of our shipping options and costs, you can visit our delivery page. We'll always show you any delivery charges in your cart at checkout.

Yes. You can opt for rounded corners on six different paper stocks: matte, glossy, cotton, soft touch, indestructible and ridged.

Standard corners tend to give postcards a more traditional square look – the clean, 90-degree cuts feel classic and elegant, and they’re a great option for street marketing or direct mail campaigns.

Our rounded corners typically pair well with postcard designs that feel more modern or softer in style – and they’re a good option for package inserts.
