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. 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.

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.
