What Are Postcards?

Postcard printing in Manchester bridges the gap between a business card and a flyer. Thick, tactile and printed on both sides, a quality postcard is something recipients are reluctant to throw away — especially when the design is genuinely attractive.

We print postcards for restaurants using them as takeaway menu teasers, artists selling limited edition prints, event promoters distributing at venues, businesses using them as branded thank-you cards and retailers dropping them in carrier bags.

Standard postcards are A6 (148x105mm) or A5 (210x148mm), printed on 350gsm silk with gloss or matt laminate. Rounded corner options available for a distinctive, premium feel.

Postcards Printing Manchester — FAQ

Can postcards be mailed without envelopes?

Yes. Standard A6 postcards can be mailed second class (or first class) without envelopes as addressed postcards. The back needs a clear address panel and sufficient space for a stamp or frank mark.

What’s the best paper stock for postcards?

350gsm silk with gloss laminate is the most popular — it feels substantial and the laminate gives it a premium, protected finish. Matt laminate has a more artisanal feel for creative and artistic applications.

What file format should I provide for postcard artwork?

Print-ready PDF at 148x105mm (A6) or 210x148mm (A5) with 3mm bleed on all sides, CMYK colours and 300dpi images. We check every file before printing.

Can I print different images on different postcards in the same run?

Yes for digital printing — variable image postcards in a single run. Useful for collections, product catalogues and personalised marketing.

Do you print postcards with rounded corners?

Yes — rounded corners are a popular premium option available on all postcard sizes. Add them to your order when you request a quote.
