Design Tips & Best Practices for Maximum Impact

Color Accuracy Note: We don’t offer exact color matching. Refer to our Color Optimization Guide to achieve optimal results—especially when printing deep blacks and vibrant blues.

Cut Precision: For shaped or custom-cut designs, use our Die Cut Printing Guide to ensure clean, accurate results (only needed for die-cut applicable products).

Effective Use Strategies:

• Craft a Clear Message: Keep your message simple and to the point. Use strong headlines and minimal, impactful text that’s easy to absorb quickly.

• Design for Attention: Leverage bold colors, engaging visuals, and strong typography. Incorporate brand elements consistently—logos, color schemes, and fonts—to build recognition.

• Placement Matters: Distribute postcards where they’ll have the most visibility—mailboxes, welcome desks, product displays, or event tables. Keep them eye-level for better engagement.

• Audience Focused: Align your design and message with your specific target demographic. Whether it’s sleek and professional or playful and vibrant, know who you’re speaking to.

• Incorporate a Call-to-Action (CTA): Guide the recipient to take the next step—whether that’s visiting a site, scanning a QR code, or making a purchase. Make your CTA clear and compelling.

• Prioritize Visual Hierarchy: Structure your design so the eye moves naturally—headline first, supporting details next, and CTA last.

• Enhance Readability: Use large, legible fonts and avoid crowding. White space is your friend—it improves clarity and professionalism.

• Stay On-Brand: Consistent branding reinforces recognition. Use your established colors, typefaces, and tone of voice across all materials.

• Keep Displays Fresh: Regularly inspect your printed materials. Replace any postcards that are faded, bent, or outdated to maintain a polished presentation.

• Evaluate Performance: Track campaign success through feedback, unique URLs, or promo codes. Use data to refine and improve future postcard campaigns.

Premium cardstock postcards do more than communicate—they captivate. Whether for business promotions, client follow-ups, or personal notes, they’re an affordable yet premium way to stand out in someone’s hand—and in their mind.
