What we print

Postcard printing for marketing and direct mail

A postcard does one job well: it puts one offer in front of someone, on something solid enough that they keep it. Businesses use them to announce an opening, bring lapsed customers back, hand out at a counter or post through every door on a round.

We print marketing postcards from our workshop in Alfreton, from your artwork or ours. If you need more room than a card gives you, an A5 or DL leaflet on our flyer and leaflet printing page is the better tool.

Why a postcard

Heavier than a flyer, simpler than a letter

A flyer is paper and a letter needs opening. A postcard is card, it arrives face-up, and it tends to stay on a fridge or a desk for weeks. That is the whole case for it — and why it suits one offer, one picture and one clear next step.

  • Card, not paper. A postcard is printed on card stock, so it survives a letterbox and gets kept rather than binned.
  • No envelope to open. The message is visible the moment it lands on the mat.
  • Picture side finished to suit — gloss, matt or soft-touch laminate.
  • Writing side left uncoated if anyone needs to write on it. A ballpoint will not write on laminate.
  • Address side kept clear if it is going in the post — tell us and we will set the layout up for it.
