Here’s a quick rundown of our postcards:

Standard postcard size in mm: 148mm x 105mm (A6)
Large postcard size in mm: 210mm x 148mm (A5)

We also offer different types of corners for our business cards, including:
Square: for a traditional, clean look
Rounded: for a softer, modern look
Remember that when choosing a postcard design, postcard dimensions can include a “bleed area,” which allows images, patterns or design elements to extend beyond the cut edges of the card – this prevents the finished card from having white edges.

Postcard thickness is usually measured in ‘grams per square metre’, abbreviated as ‘gsm’. The higher the number, the thicker the card. Standard  postcard thickness is 250 gsm which is used for bulk orders. We can also print onto thicker 300gsm or 350gsm A6 and A5 postcards.

If the information is still mostly correct, you can keep them as backups by crossing out the out-of-date info and writing in new text. If the cards are mostly inaccurate, we’d recommend recycling them.

Traditionally, postcards have a horizontal layout, but if you’re going for a different, modern feel, we have designs for vertical postcards too. And if you’re wondering what information you need to include (and where it should go), speak to us for advice on  creating a postcard.

It's not necessary, but you definitely can. Some people put their logo or slogan on the back. Others will put their opening hours or company website on the back so that potential customers can quickly check the company out. Printing on the reverse side of your postcard also doubles the space for information and images. There are many other options including your QR code with a link to your website or contact details.

For UV Varnishes and raised varnish, you can have the effect on both sides of the postcards.
For Foiled postcards, the front of your card will have whatever colour foil you selected. The back will be a smooth, matte surface — great for adding notes, appointments or other information.

Now you’ve got your measurements down pat, here are some other things to consider when designing your card:

Maximise your logo
Your card is more than just your contact information - it’s a representation of you and your brand. Consider your logo size for your business card or even think about dedicating one side solely to your logo.

Leave some white space
Don’t clutter your business card with too much text—if there are too many elements on the card, they’ll all compete for the reader’s attention and nothing will stand out.

Think dual-purpose.
Make your business card work twice as hard for you and your small business. Use the reverse side for appointment reminders, loyalty stamps or as a blank canvas to showcase something about your business.

Find the right font
If there’s a specific font you’ve been using on your website or other marketing materials, bring that into your business card – consistency is key.

Elevate with a special finish
Pearl accents add a touch of sophisticated shine, while raised UV varnish creates a raised, glossy coating, giving your cards a hard-to-forget 3D feel.

Organise your info
Your postcard should give customers everything they need to contact you, find you online or locate your shop or office. Just remember to keep your design clutter-free and balanced with enough white space. 

Today, QR codes are still going strong as an affordable way to give potential customers more information about your business. Whether for contactless restaurant menus or website links, QR codes are now easier than ever to use. With most smartphones, you just need to position the code within your camera and a URL will automatically generate. When it comes to your small businesses, there are a lot of places you can add a QR code starting with your postcards.
