Standard Postcards

Description

Standard Postcards provide a versatile, cost-effective way to communicate with customers, announce events, or support direct mail campaigns. Designed for straightforward production and professional results, these postcards are available in multiple cardstock weights, color options, and coatings to suit a variety of uses.

Key features

• Multiple stock choices: 14pt and 16pt cardstock for lightweight mailing or handouts, and 18pt coated one side for a sturdier feel and a glossy image surface.
• Full-color printing options: Full color on the front, full color front with one-color back, or full color on both sides to prioritize design flexibility and message clarity.
• Finish and protection options: Uncoated for a natural feel, matte dull finish for a refined low-glare look, UV coating on the front only when you want a high-impact image side, or full UV on the color side(s) for maximum sheen and durability.

Benefits and common uses

• Direct mail and postcards: Durable cardstocks and full-color printing ensure your visuals remain sharp through handling and mailing.
• Promotional handouts: Lightweight 14pt and 16pt options are economical for mass distributions at events.
• Premium presentation: 18pt coated one side with UV or matte finish provides a high-quality impression for invitations or high-value promotions.

Tips for best results

• File setup: Supply high-resolution artwork at 300 dpi with CMYK color mode and include bleed if design extends to the edge.
• Text and safety: Keep important text at least 1/8" inside the trim edge to avoid accidental cropping.
• Coating choice: Select UV coatings for vivid color contrast and scratch resistance; choose uncoated for easy writing or a softer tactile experience.
