Custom Postcards

We do not impose minimums on custom postcard orders, but please understand that there is a certain amount of work required for any order, whether it is for 1, 1000, or 5000.  This means that the price per unit for very small orders will be quite high.

Yes.  Our online order form allows you to order equal quantities of multiple designs, allowing you to benefit from the volume discount of the total order.  

In other words, instead of paying for 2 small orders of 100 postcards and paying the full price for 100 postcards twice, you can make 1 order with two custom postcard designs and get the volume discount for 200.

Your price is not exactly the same as if you ordered 200 custom postcards with one design, but much closer than if you made 2 orders of 100.c

Yes.  Depending on the time of your order, your order quantity and paper choice, we can usually complete the order the same day.  You only have to check “Priority/ASAP” for rush service during checkout.  If you have ordered before noon, you should be able to pick up the same day.  

If you have a large order, please call and check with us first as it may not be possible to get enough cardstock for your job with very short notice.

We are proud to include recycled paper in our cardstock options for custom postcards, yes.  

In particular, we offer a 13 pt matte cover that is made in Canada from 100% recycled material.  Your own blue bin contents could be finding new life as your custom postcards.

Some competitors, most in fact, charge a conscience tax and make you pay premium prices for this cardstock, even though it doesn’t cost us more than other stocks.  We don’t do that.  We support your efforts and concerns, and price them accordingly.

Please also know that the toner used in our digital press is non toxic and eco-friendly.

All of the cardstock options are recyclable.

Canada Post has clear guidelines for lettermail and postcard service.   Please check with them before selecting your custom postcard size and paper, and let us know if you have questions about paper thickness.

No, sorry. 

Custom postcard artwork has to be created for the size intended, or at least have identical proportions.  It is not possible to print artwork that is made for a 5″ x 7″ card on a 4″ x 6″ card as the proportions are not the same and some of the content will be cut off.

Always check our site and choose your size first, then create your artwork for the size you want, including bleeds.
