Postcards

THE BASICS

Your card’s look can be divided into four elements: Size, Colour, Finish and Stock. Additionally, you can add some optional extras (as detailed below).

First of all, lets us explain what each of the elements of the cards means to you.

CHOOSE YOUR SIZE

Standard: We offer three basic choices of sizes:

• Postcards –  184mm x 110mm
• Golf Score Cards –  210mm x 148mm
• Greeting Cards –  198mm x 210mm

CHOOSE YOUR COLOUR

Full Colour Front and/or Back

We can print your cards in full colour, with or without added text. It might use photographs for the artwork and add text, or graphics and text, or any combination of all of those. It all depends on how you want it to look, what you need to convey and, of course, your budget.

Using colour (in text and graphics, in this case) makes your card stand out, and experts say that certain colours tell your customer something about you and can have an impact on them. Think about what reaction you want your cards to have.

Above all, pick the colour or colours that complement your business and character. Your cards represent you and your company, and are part of your brand identity.

CHOOSE YOUR FINISH

Celloglaze in Matt or Gloss (available on 200gsm & above)

Celloglazing will give your business cards a professional look and feel. A thin sheet of film is added to the entire surface area of the card under heat and pressure. This gives your card a smooth, silky feel and offers added protection and durability, especially from moisture.

Cello glazing comes in matt and gloss options.

Matt celloglaze is non-reflective and is good if you’re one of those people who like to write on your 0card0.0

Gloss celloglaze gives your cards a clear and shiny finish that brightens and enriches your card’s colours.

We can celloglaze your cards on just one or both sides.

Cards are also available without Celloglaze

CHOOSE YOUR STOCK

In printing ‘stock’ means the type of paper you would like to use for your cards. You might think this is not that important, but stop a moment to consider that these documents are going to be used, passed around and perhaps hung or pinned on walls … so it is important how they feel and last.

This means choosing the right paper can make the world of difference when it comes to first impressions. We offer choices between:

• 80gsm through to 350gsm
• Gloss, Bond and Matt (Satin) stock
• Not all stock types are available in every gsm
• Recycled is also available
