Questions

Designing Your Own Card

  1. Can I design my own card?

  1. Yes, you can upload your own designs to our site using our "Load Your Own Design" category. The "Load Your Own Design" Cards are specially designed templates that allow you the freedom of placing your existing design layouts on top of a blank worksheet. This gives you access to all of our mailing and printing options while freeing you to design your own postcards. You can build your card from scratch then load what you’ve done onto our templates. Create, save, and mail as many cards as you’d like.

  1. Why should my layout be 6.123 x 9.123 (or 4.123 x 6.123 when using a 4x6 card)? Aren’t the cards only 6x9 (4x6)?

  1. To ensure that your card prints correctly and that no text/images are cut off, please base your creations on the 6.123x9.123 measurements. Adding the extra .123 ensures that no vital information will be lost when printing occurs. Do not place any important information or imagery in the extra .123 inch all the way around the card.

  1. How can I load multiple images onto a template?

  1. After selecting a project, launch the additional edit options tab. Go to the images tab and click import. After uploading the desired image, click done. Repeat this process for additional images.

  1. Do I have to leave any room for the address/postal mark? Where do I leave that room? And how much do I leave?

  1. The address and postal mark go in the bottom right hand corner of the back of the card. Please leave space in that area for the address box.

    On a 6x9 card: Leave 4.125x3 inches in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
    On a 4x6 card: Leave 3.8x2.63 inches in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
