Postcards that get passed on.
A good postcard ends up on a fridge or a wall. We design it with an image worth keeping and a back that can go through the post or into a parcel.
What you get
The deliverables, in short. What exactly is included goes in the quote.
- 01
A front worth keeping
An illustration, a photo or a typographic composition, in your identity, with the brand present but quiet.
- 02
The classic back
Room for a message, an address and a stamp, with your details small in one corner.
- 03
The series
Several postcards that belong together: by season, by place or by collection.
- 04
To sell or to give
As a souvenir at the counter, in the customer’s parcel or at a stand, next to the merch.
- 05
The screen version
The front image, ready for social posts and for holiday e-mails.
- 06
Printing, on request
We tell you which card suits it and print through our partner print shops.
- Print PDF (CMYK, 3 mm bleed)
- A6 (105×148 mm)

How we work
Four steps, from the first message to the final files.
- 1
What, how many, where
You tell us what gets printed, in what format and how it is handed out. If you already have a print shop, we work to its specs.
- 2
The layout
We design on the real format, with your copy and a hierarchy built for whoever reads it.
- 3
Adjustments and proofing
We proof the copy and the details together. Rounds of changes are written in the quote.
- 4
Print-ready file
A PDF with bleed and safe margins, plus a version for screens. On request we also handle the printing, through our partner print shops.

Only real projects, already on our site.
Questions
What clients ask us.
What goes on a company postcard?
An image linked to what you do: the place, the product, an illustration of your town or a seasonal message. The company details stay small on the back, so it doesn’t feel like an ad.
Can they go through the post?
Yes. A6 is the usual size, and the back has room for an address and a stamp. We choose a card heavy enough to arrive in one piece.
Can you make a series for my shop?
Yes. We build the series on one grid, so the cards clearly belong together on the rack, while each still sells on its own.
Do you handle the printing too?
Yes, if you want. We work with partner print shops and tell you which paper and finish suit what you are printing. You can just as well take the files to your own printer.
What files do I get?
A print PDF (CMYK, with bleed and safe margins) and a screen version, so you can also send it by e-mail or WhatsApp.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what it covers: how many pieces, how many versions, whether printing or production is included. Tell us what you need and we come back with a clear quote, after a short talk.
