We use four-color sublimation dye printing for all our postcards to provide the sharpest looking design possible. They are digitally printed using UV ink which makes the colors vibrant and the details crystal clear.

Choose the final look for your postcards by giving them a matte or gloss coating. The high gloss UV finish gives off a sleek and shiny appearance, while the matte offers softer colors and less polishing but gives a unique texture.

Postcard Care

Caring for your postcards

Avoid bending or creasing of postcards by storing them in a sturdy container. If cards come in contact with liquid, immediately wipe all surface liquid with a cloth or napkin for each individual card. Allow affected cards to air dry and make sure not to bend or crease cards while drying. When storing cards for a long period of time, do so in a way that prevents the corners of the postcards from being bent. We recommend storing them in sturdy box to keep them safe from bending and creases.

Cards themselves are...

“Cards themselves are nice quality but the graphics/printing on mine were distorted on mine. They offered my $17 off when their policy says that they will reprint and send new ones.”

Q:
Are your postcards ones that I can write an address on and send via snail mail? If not, can I still use them like they are?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

The ability to write on the surface of your postcard depends on the finish of the material. A matte finish is recommended if you are writing on the postcard. Ink used on glossy cards may smear if not dried properly. Our cards can be sent via snail mail, but we do not provide spacing or lines that are typically found on a postcard like you might find at a tourist destination unless you include them in your design. Please see other questions on this page, including the one below, about the primary uses of our postcards to see how you can use them in a business setting.

Q:
Are your postcards ones like I’d buy at famous locations or tourist destinations?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Our postcards differ from the typical tourist postcards in that ours are of a higher quality with the options of either a matte or glossy finish. The postcards we produce are intended for business use, handing out as invitations, and distributing at tradeshows and conventions. Unlike tourists postcards, ours are completely customizable to your liking.
Q:
What are the differences between your business cards and postcards?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
The most noticeable difference will be the sizes between these two products. We offer our business cards in 2”x3.5”, whereas our postcards are available in 4”x6” or 5”x7”. Though these sizes differ, these are the standard sizes for these respective products. Both our business cards and postcards are printed on a 16pt cardstock with a matte or glossy finish. The smaller size of business cards allows for portability in pockets and makes them easier to hand out, while postcards have more area to present larger graphics and more text. Both our custom business cards and postcards are printed in full color.
Q:
What material are your postcards made of?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Our postcards are made from a high quality, thick 16pt (116 lbs) cardstock. This cardstock is considered to be a sturdy and durable material that is much thicker than regular paper (20 lbs).
Q:
What is the lifespan of postcards?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
The lifespan of your postcards depends on how you store and use them. With proper storage, your custom postcards could last 3+ years. If you frequently carry or handle your postcards, the lifespan will decrease. Improper use and exposure to liquid will greatly diminish the lifespan of your postcards.
Q:
Will the design of the postcard fade over time?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
The quality of your design will be resistant to scratching and fading due to the longevity of the ink. Like anything that is printed there may be some fading over an extended period of time. Short term, you will not see any substantial fading. Corners of the postcard can be bent, which may cause any design or color printed on corners or edges to fade or lose clarity.
Q:
Can your postcards be double sided?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Yes. Our postcards can be printed on both sides. You can select this option in our design tool if the backside of your postcard is going to differ from the front side of your postcard. Simply select the “Back Side” option and design away!
Q:
Can I order single sided postcards?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Yes, we offer both single and double-sided postcards. Simply choose which option you would like in our design tool before creating your postcard.
Q:
I selected double sided and have a different file/design for the back side but don’t see where I edit the second side of my card.
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

You can design both the front and back of your postcard within our design tool. To do this, select a double-sided option, which will reveal a button underneath the main design area that will allow you to switch between the ‘front’ and ‘back’ side of your postcard. Toggling this button should allow you to upload and edit as needed for the respective sides of your postcard(s).

Q:
I need to print similar cards for multiple people, what is the best/fastest way to do so?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Once you have created a design on our site, we automatically save it under your “My Designs” section. Clicking on the “duplicate” link next to your design will create an exact copy of your card. You can then click on your image which will take you directly into the design tool where you can type in the new name and other information and click “save”. Simply follow the same process for any additional people you need to make cards for.
