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.
Why do some prices say TBC?
A few prices are still being confirmed. We confirm the exact price when we check your order, before anything is printed.
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. 15pt 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.
Will a reorder match my last batch?
13pt cards are printed on shared press sheets with other orders. That keeps the price low, but color can shift slightly between batches. For an exact match on reorders, choose 15pt or 32pt digital. We check every batch before shipping.
Does lamination cost extra?
No. Every laminated card is laminated, and every type of lamination costs the same.
Can I write on these cards?
Not easily: lamination makes the surface smooth. For postcards you write on, or invitations people reply to, choose Uncoated Cards & Postcards.
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.
