Postcards
Two A5 postcard formats are listed here: a plain uncoated card and a soft-touch version with raised 3D UV varnish. Both are printed to your own artwork rather than stamped onto a stock item, which makes them useful for invitations, direct mail, event handouts and parcel inserts. Format, paper and quantity define the job, so the listings act as starting points.
Both formats are A5 portrait, 148 x 210 mm, printed in full colour on both sides. The standard card uses 300 gsm uncoated offset stock, which stays writable, so an address, a stamp or a handwritten note goes straight onto it - the reason it suits direct mail and save-the-dates. The premium card moves to 350 gsm matt coated board with Soft Skin soft-touch foil on both sides and selective 3D UV varnish, so a logo or headline can be felt as well as seen.
Typical uses are event invitations, loyalty and appointment cards, conference handouts and inserts placed in outgoing parcels. There is no separate branding stage: the print is the product. Supply a print-ready PDF with bleed and outlined fonts, and for the premium card a separate varnish mask marking the raised elements. A digital proof is issued before production.
Price depends on quantity and specification rather than on a single unit rate, and the calculated figure for each run is shown on the product page. The standard card starts at 10 pieces and the premium card at 50, both running up to 20 000; short runs are printed digitally and longer runs move to offset. Production lead time is shown against each quantity, and delivery covers the EU.
