Design & Printing Best Practices

⚠️ Note: While these guidelines are focused on postcards, some tips reference general print design principles originally intended for posters. They’ve been adapted here for postcard applications.

• Color Accuracy
  We do not color match. For optimal results—especially for rich blacks or true blues—please refer to our [Color Optimization Guide].

• File Preparation
  If your design includes custom shapes or die-cut edges, refer to our [Die Cut Printing Guide] for proper setup. (Note: Most standard postcards do not require die cuts.)

• Concise Messaging
  Keep your message short and impactful. Use strong headlines, brief supporting text, and focused visuals to clearly communicate your point at a glance.

• Design That Stands Out
  Use high-quality imagery, bold colors, and well-balanced typography. Incorporate your logo and brand elements to maintain consistency.

• Audience-Centric Approach
  Tailor your content and style to match your target audience’s preferences, whether it’s a business lead, event attendee, or personal contact.

• Effective Call to Action
  Include a clear next step—such as visiting a website, using a promo code, or scanning a QR code—so your audience knows exactly what to do.

• Clear Visual Hierarchy
  Organize content so the reader’s eye flows naturally from the headline to the message and CTA. Use spacing and font size strategically.

• Readability First
  Select clean, legible fonts and avoid overcrowding. Ample white space boosts both readability and aesthetic appeal.

• Maintain Brand Integrity
  Use your brand’s colors, fonts, and design standards to ensure a cohesive and professional appearance across all materials.

• Monitor & Improve
  Track engagement by using unique URLs, codes, or campaign identifiers. Use customer feedback and results to refine future postcard designs.
