Other cards and postcards.
The finer details.
Good decisions start with clear information.
Why does the price change with the size?
Cards and postcards are priced by area: the factory prices each card by its size and the quantity. Every size has its own price, shown on its tile, and finishes are priced by size too.
How long will my cards take?
Production takes 2–7 business days, depending on the thickness and finishes, and starts once we’ve checked your file. Then Express shipping takes 2–5 business days and Standard takes 7–12. You choose shipping at checkout.
How do I add my design?
After you choose your card, upload your own file. Our online designer and templates are for business cards for now. Prefer help? Our designers can design it with you.
Which files can I upload?
PDF, AI, EPS, SVG, at the size you chose, at 300 dpi with 3 mm (0.125 in) of bleed on every edge. Any other file is fine too: our designers take it from there.
Will you check my design before printing?
Yes. We check every file before it’s printed. If something needs fixing, we contact you before we print; if not, your cards go straight into production. There’s no proof for you to approve.
Why is 13pt only sold in 200s?
13pt cards are printed on shared press sheets with other orders. That keeps the price low, but color can vary slightly from one batch to the next. 16pt and thicker are printed digitally, so color is more consistent.
Can I print on both sides?
Yes. Full color on both sides is included in the price, so the back can carry an address panel, a message or a second design.
Can I write on these cards?
Yes. Fine papers are uncoated and take pen and pencil well, which suits thank you notes, invitations and postcards. Pearl White has a pearl layer on top, so test it with a sample first.
Can I have cold foil on uncoated cards?
No. Cold foil doesn’t hold well on uncoated paper. Hot foil in 12 colors is available on every thickness.
Do you fold cards or supply envelopes?
Not yet. These are flat cards; we’re asking the factory about scored, folded cards and envelopes.
Can I order different papers or sizes together?
Add them as separate items; each design in one item shares the same options.
