Design & Printing Best Practices

• Color Output
  We do not provide exact color matching. For best results—including deep blacks and vibrant blues—please refer to our Color Optimization Guide.

• Design File Preparation
  If your postcard requires die-cutting, consult our Die Cut Printing Guide for proper file setup. (Note: Only applies to products with non-standard shapes.)

• Clear Messaging
  Keep your messaging concise and easy to understand at a glance. Use bold headings, minimal text, and compelling visuals to grab attention and clearly communicate your main idea.

• Eye-Catching Design
  Use vivid colors, high-quality imagery, and engaging typography. Consistently apply your branding elements—such as logos and fonts—to build recognition and visual cohesion.

• Targeted Content
  Design your postcard with your audience in mind. Consider their interests, behaviors, and demographics to craft messaging that resonates and encourages action.

• Call to Action
  Include a prominent and clear call to action (CTA). Whether it’s visiting a website, contacting your team, or attending an event, provide the necessary links or contact info to make the next step easy.

• Visual Hierarchy
  Organize your layout using a clear hierarchy—highlight key elements and structure content in a way that naturally guides the reader’s eye.

• Legibility & Clarity
  Ensure your text is easy to read, even at a quick glance. Use legible fonts, avoid clutter, and include white space for a clean, professional look.

• Brand Consistency
  Maintain alignment with your brand’s identity. Use the same color palette, fonts, and tone to reinforce recognition and trust across all touchpoints.

• Regular Quality Checks
  If distributing postcards in person or by mail, inspect them regularly to ensure they’re in top condition. Replace any damaged or outdated materials promptly.

• Analyze & Improve
  Measure performance through response rates or customer feedback. Use these insights to improve future postcard designs and campaign strategies.
