Description

Custom Postcard Printing

Postcards have long been a reliable tool for businesses looking to deliver their message in a personal, impactful way. At Printing.com.sg, we specialize in delivering high-quality postcard printing services tailored to your specific needs. Whether you’re using them for marketing, event invitations, or direct mail campaigns, our postcards are crafted to provide maximum impact.

Why Choose Our Postcard Printing?

Our postcards are printed using premium offset printing technology, ensuring vibrant colors and crisp details. Offset printing offers superior quality compared to other methods, making your designs stand out. Whether you’re looking for a professional matte finish or a vibrant gloss lamination, we’ve got the perfect options for you.

Our postcard sizes are versatile, and the most popular size is 4 x 6 inches. It’s compact enough to easily distribute, yet large enough to grab attention. You can also choose from a range of coatings to match the tone and feel of your message.

Materials and Coating Options

We use 300gsm Matt Art for our postcards, offering a sturdy feel and professional quality. For coatings, you can choose between matte lamination or gloss lamination, each providing a unique look and feel to your postcards:

  • Matt Lamination on Front Only: This smooth, non-reflective finish enhances the elegance and readability of your postcards. It gives a premium feel to the front of the card while leaving the back uncoated, making it easy to write on.
  • Gloss Lamination on Front Only: This shiny, reflective surface brings out the vibrancy of colors, perfect for bold, eye-catching designs. The gloss-coated front adds a layer of protection and professionalism, while the uncoated back remains perfect for personalized messages.

These lamination options are carefully selected to ensure your postcards leave a lasting impression while being functional for any business or personal use.

Customization Options

We understand the importance of standing out in a competitive market. That’s why our postcards come with customization options that allow you to tailor every detail to your brand or message. From the colors and fonts to the materials and coatings, we give you the freedom to create postcards that reflect your business’s identity.

Quick Turnaround and Reliable Delivery

Our efficient production process ensures that your postcards are printed and delivered on time, every time. With a standard turnaround time of 7-9 business days, we prioritize both quality and speed, making sure you receive your order when you need it.

However, please note that delivery times are subject to several factors, including artwork approval, the imprint method selected, quantity ordered, and shipping location. We recommend planning ahead for important events to allow for these factors.

Artwork Preparation

To ensure the best printing results for your postcards, please follow these artwork preparation guidelines:

  1. File Format:
    • Provide your artwork in high-resolution PDF, AI, or EPS format. All fonts should be outlined, and images embedded.
  2. Resolution:
    • Ensure that all images and artwork are at least 300 DPI (dots per inch) to avoid pixelation or blurry printing.
  3. Bleed Area:
    • Include a 3mm bleed on all sides of your design. This ensures that your design extends to the edge of the postcard after trimming.
  4. Color Mode:
    • Submit your artwork in CMYK color mode. This is crucial for accurate color reproduction in offset printing. Avoid using RGB colors, as they may print differently than they appear on screen.
  5. Safe Zone:
    • Keep all essential elements such as text and logos at least 5mm away from the edge of your postcard to avoid them being cut off during trimming.
  6. File Size:
    • Ensure that your file size does not exceed 50MB to facilitate smooth processing.
  7. Fonts:
    • Convert all text to outlines to avoid font compatibility issues. If you are using a unique font, make sure it’s embedded within the file.
  8. Special Finishes:
    • If your design includes special finishes such as spot UV, hot stamping, or embossing, provide a separate layer or file indicating the areas that require these finishes.

Following these guidelines will help to ensure that your postcards are printed with the highest quality and accuracy. If you have any questions regarding artwork preparation, feel free to contact our support team at support@printing.com.sg for assistance.

Design

Design Recommendations:

Creating a visually impactful postcard is key to capturing your audience’s attention and conveying your message effectively. Here are some design recommendations to help you get the best results:

  1. Prioritize a Clear Message:
    • Postcards often have limited space, so focus on a single, clear message. Whether it’s a promotional offer, event invitation, or announcement, keep your text concise and to the point. Use a bold, attention-grabbing headline that directs the recipient to the main content.
  2. Use High-Quality Images:
    • Ensure all images used are high-resolution (at least 300 DPI) for sharp, crisp printing. Blurry or pixelated images can detract from the professionalism of your postcard.
  3. Choose the Right Colors:
    • Use colors that align with your brand’s identity or message. Be mindful of contrast—make sure your text is easily readable against the background. Opt for CMYK color mode for accurate printing results, as RGB colors can produce inaccurate shades when printed.
  4. Take Advantage of Both Sides:
    • Make use of both the front and back of the postcard. The front can be used for bold visuals or key messaging, while the back can contain additional information such as contact details, instructions, or a call-to-action (CTA).
  5. Incorporate Branding Elements:
    • Ensure your brand is easily recognizable by including your logo, brand colors, and fonts in the design. This helps to reinforce brand identity and establish trust with your audience.
  6. Leave Space for Writing:
    • If you plan to include a personalized handwritten note, make sure to leave sufficient space on the back of the postcard. Avoid crowding the design with too much text or imagery in these areas.
  7. Optimize for Readability:
    • Choose legible fonts that are easy to read from a distance. For headlines, use bold and larger fonts, and for body text, maintain a font size of at least 10pt to ensure readability. Avoid using decorative fonts for essential information.
  8. Consider Coating Options:
    • Depending on the impression you want to create, choose between matte or gloss lamination for the front of the postcard. Matte offers an elegant, non-reflective finish that works well for more subdued, professional designs. Gloss lamination, on the other hand, enhances the vibrancy of colors, making it ideal for eye-catching visuals.
  9. Utilize Calls to Action (CTAs):
    • Include a clear call-to-action that directs the recipient on what to do next. Whether it’s visiting your website, redeeming a special offer, or calling your business, make sure it stands out on the postcard. Use buttons, bold text, or icons to highlight the CTA.
  10. Consult with Our In-House Design Team:
    • If you’re unsure about any aspect of your postcard design or want professional input, our in-house design experts are here to help. You can add our Graphic Design Services to your order for a seamless design process. We will work with you to ensure that your postcard is not only visually appealing but also optimized for printing.
