Postcard Printing

From £23.78 for 25, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Sizes for these cards go from A6 (105 × 148 mm) at the small end to A5 (148 × 210 mm), 4 in all.

Anything from 25 to 2000. The quantity choices on the page run 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000 and 2000. The figure shown is for the whole batch, not for one, so divide it by the number you picked to see the cost of each. If you need more than 2000, send the size, number and date through our Get a quote page. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each card is made to order for you.

Yes. Choose Express and Postcards can be on the way in 2 working days on the opening option, for £24.48, where Saver is £21.15 and takes 6 days. Then give the courier one to three working days, and send the artwork with the order, because the clock does not run until the file is sorted. If the date is really tight, message us on the Contact page before paying and we will tell you honestly.

Yes, anywhere in the UK, though the price differs by area. A Highlands postcode on the mainland pays the usual rate plus a single £10 for the order, and that £10 still applies when the rest of the delivery is free. Northern Ireland gets a price worked out first, as do the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, Scilly, the Scottish islands and the Isle of Man: send your postcode through our Get a quote page or the Contact page. We cannot send anything outside the UK. Before delivery, these cards cost from £21.15.

That is why a person looks at every upload before anything is printed. Typical snags are a document at the wrong size, missing bleed, blurry photos and words sitting too near the trim. If we spot one, we explain what to change and you send a fresh file. Or hand it over to us: for £15 our typesetting places your wording and logo on a neat layout, with one first draft and two rounds of changes. If you have no file, you can build the design for these cards in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering. Make the artwork for these cards the same size as the one you order, such as A6 (105 × 148 mm).

Close-up items need about 300 dpi at full size. So an A5 (148 × 210 mm) layout wants about 1,748 by 2,480 pixels. Keep lettering and logos as vectors if you can. An image copied off a web page or a social post rarely has enough pixels; if yours looks likely to print soft, our file check flags it. Make the artwork for these cards the same size as the one you order, such as A6 (105 × 148 mm).

Word, PowerPoint and Canva are a fair place to start, but export a high quality PDF from them before uploading. Our first choice is always a PDF at the ordered size with fonts embedded or outlined, followed by AI, EPS or SVG, then high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF. You can add three files, each up to 25 MB, on this page, or upload them after ordering from the email we send. Make the artwork for these cards the same size as the one you order, such as A6 (105 × 148 mm).

Easiest route: they send the finished file to whoever placed the order, and it gets uploaded after ordering. Up to 3 files of 25 MB each are fine. They can also reach us through the Contact page, as long as they quote your order number so it lands on the right job. Production waits for the checked file, so a late file means a later dispatch date. If you have no file, you can build the design for these cards in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering. Sizes for these cards go from A6 (105 × 148 mm) at the small end to A5 (148 × 210 mm), 4 in all.

Yes, a real person on our team opens every uploaded file and checks the size, the bleed and the resolution. If something is off, you hear from us before anything is made. Designs made in the online designer are printed exactly as they looked on screen. We print what you send, though, so read the spelling, numbers and dates yourself as well. Making starts when the order and the file are both confirmed. Sizes for these cards go from A6 (105 × 148 mm) at the small end to A5 (148 × 210 mm), 4 in all.

Two ways. Buy the file on its own: finish your design and pay £9.99 for the print-ready PDF, though you give up the right to cancel as soon as you start downloading it. Or order printing, and a full resolution PDF of the design travels with the order, waiting for you in your confirmation email and under My Account once you have paid. Make the artwork for these cards the same size as the one you order, such as A6 (105 × 148 mm).

The card option has 8 settings: 300gsm brown kraft, 350gsm recycled uncoated, 300gsm textured uncoated, 300gsm natural uncoated, 300gsm smooth white card, 250gsm silk, 250gsm gloss or 350gsm silk card. Card thickness is shown as gsm, the weight in grams of one square metre, and more gsm means a sturdier card. Coated silk card gives crisp print; recycled, textured or uncoated cards have a softer, more natural feel and are nicer to write on. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds.

The lamination option has 2 settings: gloss, front; or none. A laminate is a very thin clear layer sealed over the print. Gloss gives richer, punchier colour; matt takes the shine away so photos and text are easier to read under lights; soft touch feels smooth, almost like velvet. Whichever you pick, the surface copes better with scuffs. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds. For these cards, the material can be 300gsm brown kraft, 350gsm recycled uncoated, 300gsm textured uncoated, 300gsm natural uncoated, 300gsm smooth white card, 250gsm silk, 250gsm gloss or 350gsm silk card.

The printed option has 2 settings: both sides or front only. It sets which sides of the item get printed. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds. For these cards, the material can be 300gsm brown kraft, 350gsm recycled uncoated, 300gsm textured uncoated, 300gsm natural uncoated, 300gsm smooth white card, 250gsm silk, 250gsm gloss or 350gsm silk card.

No. One delivery charge covers the whole basket, so adding Postcards to other items does not add a second one. It is £7.95 to a UK mainland address and nothing once the goods total £100 after any discount code. Using the same design on two items? Pick the reuse-artwork option on the second one and you pay the artwork fee just once. Each line keeps its own size and quantity.

Tell us quickly through the Contact page, quoting your order number. Before production starts we can take a corrected file, or cancel and refund the whole order. After that it cannot be changed. A print that matches your finished design or the file you sent is not a fault, so it pays to read every word and number before you order. Before delivery, these cards cost from £21.15.

Very. Choose the same product with the same options and upload the same file, and it is made again exactly as before. Designed it online? The print PDF from your first paid order stays in My Account and in the confirmation email, so you can reuse it. Before you repeat it, read the wording again: dates, prices, opening times and contact details are the things that go out of date. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each card is made to order for you. Before delivery, these cards cost from £21.15.

Keep the order confirmation email we send: it itemises the purchase and the payment, and works as a plain receipt for your records. The total at checkout for these cards is the goods price on the page plus delivery, so the email matches what left the account. Need something more formal for an audit or a grant claim? Message us from the Contact page with your order number. Sizes for these cards go from A6 (105 × 148 mm) at the small end to A5 (148 × 210 mm), 4 in all.

Yes. Guest checkout is fine, and any debit or credit card works. Stripe processes the payment for us, which keeps your card number off our system entirely. We begin making these cards once the payment has cleared and the artwork is confirmed. Large or out of the ordinary jobs can be quoted first from the Get a quote page. Before delivery, these cards cost from £21.15.

FatPrint does, from start to finish. We take your order and payment, a person on our team checks your file, and Postcards are made to order for you rather than taken off a shelf. It then goes to you by courier, with tracking sent by email. Questions before or after ordering go through the box on this page or the Contact page, and a person replies.

No account is needed. Guest checkout lets a parent, volunteer or club secretary order once and pay by debit or credit card through Stripe. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, and the confirmation email you receive lists the items and the amount paid for your records. If the committee needs a price agreed before anyone pays, the Get a quote page is the better starting point. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each card is made to order for you. Before delivery, these cards cost from £21.15.

No. Each design goes into the basket as a separate line with its own file or online design, and you pay for them all in one checkout. Delivery is counted once for the whole order and costs nothing when the goods reach £100. If two lines share the same artwork, pick the artwork option that reuses a file already in your basket, so any design fee is only paid once. Sizes for these cards go from A6 (105 × 148 mm) at the small end to A5 (148 × 210 mm), 4 in all.

Take photos of the damage and the box it came in, then send them through the contact form within 48 hours of delivery, with your order number. Hold on to the item rather than posting it back; we reply and arrange a reprint or refund. This sits alongside your legal rights, which the returns page covers. Choose Saver and these cards leave us after 6 working days; Express brings that down to 2.

CMYK if you can. An RGB file gets converted to CMYK for printing, and vivid greens, blues and oranges may lose a little brightness on the way. Have a Pantone number for your brand colour? Tell us and we match it as near as the material lets us. Expect a small shift between screen and print either way: a screen shines light at you, while printed items reflect it. If you have no file, you can build the design for these cards in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering.

Five things: placeholder wording still sitting in the layout, lettering smaller than will print clearly, anything creeping past the safe area or right up to the trim, logos or photos with too few pixels for the size, and shapes lying on top of words. A serious issue has to be sorted before you finish, while a plain warning can be accepted if you are happy with it. Your spelling is not read, so go over names, numbers and dates yourself. Make the artwork for these cards the same size as the one you order, such as A6 (105 × 148 mm).

You can. Designing online costs nothing until you order, so make a draft, show it to the group and tweak it as often as you like. The on-screen watermark is only there on the preview and is never printed. The designer flags things like small text or low-resolution photos as you go, but it cannot catch a wrong date, so have a second person read it. Make the artwork for these cards the same size as the one you order, such as A6 (105 × 148 mm).
