Design & Printing Best Practices

• Color Optimization
  We do not provide exact color matching. For best results, especially when printing solid blacks or blues, please refer to our [Color Optimization Guide].

• File Setup
  If your design requires unique shapes or cuts, consult our [Die Cut Printing Guide] to properly prepare your files. (Standard rectangular postcards do not require die-cut formatting.)

• Clear Messaging
  Use concise, direct language paired with a strong headline. Your message should be instantly understandable and visually accessible.

• Compelling Design
  Create eye-catching layouts with vibrant colors, high-quality imagery, and bold typography. Incorporate your brand identity for a consistent, professional look.

• Audience Relevance
  Tailor your design to your target audience’s preferences and expectations—whether professional, promotional, or personal.

• Effective Call to Action
  Include a clear, actionable message such as “Scan to Learn More,” “Visit Our Site,” or “Redeem This Offer.” Use QR codes or URLs to guide your audience directly.

• Visual Hierarchy
  Organize content so the most important elements stand out first. Use size, spacing, and contrast to create a clear reading path.

• Readability
  Choose legible fonts and ensure appropriate font sizes. Avoid clutter by maintaining white space around key elements.

• Consistent Branding
  Reinforce brand recognition with your standard logo, fonts, colors, and tone. A unified look builds trust and recall.

• Performance Tracking
  Measure response rates via custom codes, tracking URLs, or customer feedback. Use data to refine future postcard designs and campaigns.
