More about this product
A post card gets read before it gets opened. Use ours for direct mail, event reminders, grand openings, real estate farming or a simple thank-you to customers.
Pick 4 x 6 in or 8.5 x 5.5 in for a classic card, or go bigger with 6 x 11 in when you need more room. Order as few as 100 or scale up for a big mailing, and add bundling if you want the cards counted and tied for mail drops.

Placing important text where the address and stamp will go
Leave the address and postage area clear on the back if you plan to mail the cards.
Leaving out the 1/8" bleed
Extend backgrounds 1/8 in past the trim line, or thin white edges can show after cutting.
Placing text or logos too close to the edge
Keep all text and logos at least 1/8 in inside the trim line.
Uploading low-resolution images or screenshots
Anything under 300 dpi looks soft in print, use full-size artwork.
Submitting RGB artwork
Print uses CMYK and can look a little duller than on screen, convert before you upload.
Forgetting to embed or outline fonts
Letters can swap to a default font if fonts are not embedded or outlined.
