Best Practices for Designing & Printing Postcards

⚠️ Important Note: We’ve tailored these best practices for postcard design (not posters) to help you get the best results.

✅ Color Accuracy

We do not offer color matching. For accurate, vibrant output—including true black and blue tones—refer to our [Color Optimization Guide].

✂️ Precision Cutting

If your design requires contour or die cutting, consult our [Die Cut Printing Guide] for proper file setup. (Note: not required for standard postcards.)

💬 Clear Messaging

Keep your message short, direct, and impactful. Use bold headlines, concise copy, and eye-catching visuals that convey your message at a glance.

🎨 Eye-Catching Design

Make your postcard pop with high-quality images, vibrant colors, and attractive typography. Include your logo and brand elements for consistency.

📍 Effective Distribution

Mail postcards to targeted mailing lists or place them in high-visibility areas like reception desks, display racks, or product shipments.

🎯 Audience Alignment

Customize content to resonate with your specific target audience. Consider demographics, interests, and preferences to maximize engagement.

📢 Strong Call to Action

Include a clear, compelling CTA, such as “Visit Our Website,” “Use Code SAVE10,” or “Scan to Learn More.” Add URLs, QR codes, or contact details as needed.

🔠 Visual Hierarchy

Organize design elements to guide the viewer’s eye—from headline to imagery to CTA. Emphasize key points using size, color, and spacing.

🔍 Readability & Legibility

Use easy-to-read fonts, keep font sizes appropriate, and avoid clutter. Leave ample white space to enhance visual clarity.

🎨 Brand Consistency

Maintain visual consistency with your brand—using established colors, fonts, and tone—to reinforce recognition and trust.

🧽 Maintenance

If you use postcards for in-person distribution, routinely check for outdated or worn prints. Reprint as needed to maintain a professional appearance.

📊 Measure and Improve

Track postcard campaign results using promo codes, QR scans, or dedicated landing pages. Use this feedback to refine your messaging and design for future prints.
