Top Tips:

When designing and ordering postcards, there are a few things to keep in mind to get the most out of your investment. Follow these top tips to ensure your postcards look and perform at their best:

Design with Simplicity in Mind:
Keep your design clean and focused. A cluttered postcard can overwhelm your audience, so ensure your message is clear and your call to action is easy to follow.
Use High-Quality Images:
Postcards are a visual medium, so make sure to use high-resolution images for the best print quality. Low-quality images can look pixelated and diminish the professional look of your postcard.
Choose the Right Finish:
Consider the purpose of your postcard when choosing a finish. Glossy finishes work well for bright, colourful designs, while a matte or soft-touch finish is perfect for a more refined, elegant look.
Ensure Your Contact Information is Prominent:
Make it easy for your customers to reach you by placing your contact details, social media handles, or website in a prominent spot on the postcard.
Check Bleed and Safe Zones:
Ensure your design includes a 3mm bleed to avoid unwanted white borders or cut-off text. Use our Design Support service, where we will guide you to How to Design videos and/or offer you design support via our experienced team.
Plan for Distribution:
Whether you're mailing postcards or handing them out, consider where the postmark / stamp and address will sit on page 2.
