Frequently asked questions
How long does production take?
Production takes 4 to 5 business days after your file is approved. Shipping transit time is added on top and depends on the method you pick and your location.
What file should I upload?
A print-ready PDF at the finished size with 0.125 inch bleed on every side, fonts embedded or outlined, and images at 300 dpi in CMYK. We check every file before it goes to print and contact you if something needs fixing.
Can you design it for me?
Yes. Our design team can build the artwork from scratch or fix a file you already have. Design time is billed at $60 per hour with a 15 minute minimum, and you approve a proof before anything prints.
Which sizes mail at the postcard rate?
USPS postcard prices apply to cards from 3.5 x 5 up to 4.25 x 6 inches. The 4 x 6 size fits; larger sizes such as 5 x 7 and 6 x 9 mail at letter or large-envelope prices. Check current USPS rules before a mailing.
Can people write on the back?
Coated and laminated cards do not take ballpoint ink well. If the card needs handwriting, choose the 14pt Writable (C1S) postcards, which have an uncoated back.
Can you mail them for me?
Yes. We can print, address and mail postcards to your list. Postage is billed at the USPS cost with no markup. Ask for a mailing quote on our Print and Direct Mail page.
