Product Details
Custom printed postcards
Three sizes cover the most common direct-mail and marketing applications: A6 (105 x 148mm) for compact promotional cards and save-the-dates, A5 (148 x 210mm) for event announcements and real estate flyers, and DL (99 x 210mm) for slim-format mailers and invitations. Both single-sided and double-sided options are available.
Artwork is reviewed before production and a design proof is emailed for approval before printing begins. Supply files as PDF, SVG, or Adobe Illustrator format with 3mm bleed and embedded images.
Specification
- Choose from material and size options available.
- Price includes digital colour printing on both sides of the card.
- Single or double-sided: Both single-sided and double-sided printing are available, letting you run a key visual on the front and your call to action on the reverse.
- Variable data printing: Personalised names, unique QR codes, individual addresses, and different content per card are all available for direct mail campaigns.
- Durable card stock: Full-color printing on durable card stock keeps the look sharp through mail handling and everyday use.
- No envelope required: Unlike enveloped direct mail, a postcard is read the moment it is handled, so the design makes its first impression before the recipient decides whether to keep reading.
- Full face digital print: Your artwork prints edge to edge across the full face of the card, leaving no unprinted border to interrupt the visual.
- Test run consistency: A short targeted test run and a full direct mail drop use the same press and stock, so the pilot matches the campaign that follows it.
