Our premium Postcards are printed on luxury 400gm equest® card. They can be printed in Full Colour on one side only, in Full Colour with Black and White on the reverse, or in Full Colour on both sides. The face side can be either: Gloss Laminated, Matt Laminated or Unlaminated
Supplements for the same type of lamination on the reverse of any size card are also shown.
Bespoke Sizes
If your particular size is not detailed simply specify your requirements and price as the next size up. E.g. For a 210mm x 210mm postcard simply price as a A4 (297mm x 210mm). We make no additional charge for cutting down to a bespoke size. We can print up A3 size.
The cost of Die-Cutting is calculated from a setup charge and then a run on cost per 1000.
Finishing
We are able to offer a number of finishing options for our cards, these options are detailed beside each card.
Special Shapes
We can die-cut Postcards of A5 size and upwards in to any shape you can think of! This cost is incurred only once. On subsequent runs we can use the same forme again. Please submit your design for us to price the forme required.
Please note: If your card is to be folded (Eg. Double Credit Card or A4 Postcard to be folded to A5) and colour extends across the fold (on either side of the card) we strongly recommend lamination.
