Important Artwork Notice!
Any Shape Postcard File Guidelines: A Custom Shape File must be created as a vector and saved as either an EPS or PDF. Custom Shape File must represent the cut line. Custom Shape File must be only in 100% black, either 0.5pt or 1pt thick. Thin lines and small shapes are not recommended for any shape postcards. Bleed for the Custom Shaped postcards must be 0.125" from the cut line on all sides. Choose the size that best fits your needs and upload the CMYK file(s) as well as the Cut Shape File.
How to Pick the Right Size for Your Postcard: You must select the available size that fits both dimensions of your project. If your postcard is 2.75" X 3.5", the correct size to select is 4" x 4"; it's the smallest available size that will allow us to fit and cut your label to size comfortably, without losing design details, quality or surface space.

Custom die-cut postcards are postcards that have a unique design from the normal rectangular shape.
Die-cut laminated postcards can have something as simple as a rounded corner, be circular or even heart shaped.
People today are bombarded by so much visual stimulation that it's become a feat to get them excited about your brand or an event that you're organising.
You need a little bit of “je ne sais quoi” to bring a fresh perspective into your branding.
Die cut laminated postcards, unlike regular postcards, hold their shape longer, are tear resistant and ensure that if your design requires heavy ink coverage, the edges will not chip during cutting.
In short this is a great choice for longevity, superior cut quality and extra durability.
If you are ready to exploit these dynamic mediums here are some of the options we offer you:
- 16-point thick cardstock
- Full-color printing on one or both sides
- Silk or gloss lamination
- 4 day turnaround
