Frequently Asked Questions
Postcards can help you reach customers (or friends and family) in a convenient and cost-effective way. Run a store or office? Display a stack of postcards at your counter to catch their eye. Hosting events or trade shows? Simplify networking with postcards that spotlight your message. Want to spread the word on the streets? Promote specials, seasonal sales and more by handing them out to passing crowds. Alternatively, you can turn them into packaging inserts and share thank you notes, instructions, exclusive offers or other important information with customers. Plus, we offer a wide range of sizes and designs so you can find a style that suits your needs.

Yes, you can. Adding photos to your postcard design is a great way to engage customers (or excite loved ones), whether you’re showcasing a new house on the market, advertising a restaurant opening or sending friend’s a special message.
To add photos to your postcard design, select the image icon in our design studio or choose a template with pre-designated photo placements (you’ll be able to replace them with your own). Make sure that your photos have an image resolution of at least 300 dots per inch (DPI) and are saved in one of the following formats:
.jpg, .jpeg, .jfif, .bmp, .png, .gif, .heic, .svg, .pdf, .psd, .ai, .eps, .ait, .ppt, .pptx, .tif, .tiff
We offer traditional card stocks (matte or glossy) as well as options that look and feel unique (natural uncoated, linen, recycled matte, soft touch, indestructible, cotton or ridged). You can also customise your card with spot UV. To learn more, check out the “Shop by materials and textures” section.
