Print data
Choose between "Own artwork (PDF, JPEG, TIFF)" and "Design online with freedesign". If you choose the option "Own artwork (PDF, JPEG, TIFF)", please send us your finished print files via email or upload. Please choose"Design online with freedesign" if you want to work on designs provided by us online.
Pages
The number of pages stated always refers to the closed, that is processed (e.g. folded) and finished postcard in its final form.
Example 2 sided, unfolded: 4.25'' x 6'', 2 sided Your choice of the number of pages: 2 sided.
Example 4 sided, folded: 4.25'' x 6'', 4 sided Your choice of the number of pages: 4 sided.
It is necessary that you provide a preassembled layout for folded multi-page postcards .
Format
The final format of the postcard that you input should always be understood as the final product size - i.e., the processed (folded or bound) size of the postcard .
It would be incorrect to choose a format in open form, i.e. unfolded (laid flat).
Please set up the print file for yourpostcard with a 1/12 Inch bleed on all edges which are to be trimmed. It is necessary that you provide a preassembled layout for folded multi-page postcards .
Paper
Postcards are exclusively printed on coated text and coated cover papers, which are refined with a printing varnish. Our board is writeable and is a heavy stock.
Printing
The printing of postcards is realized in CMYK and Pantone. Under Screen/ Paper proof you can order a screen proof or a color-binding paper proof of your postcard , certified according to the GRACoL 7 quality standard.
Processing
Please pay attention to the correct selection! You always refer to the closed and therefore finished product.
Starting from a paper weight of 120 lb coated cover, the product will be non-folded on delivery.
Example: Postcard , 4.25" x 5.5", 4 pages, 120 lb coated cover gloss. Processing: Trimming, scoring (flat).
It would be wrong to select 5.5" x 8.5", 2 sided because this defines the open format of the postcard .
UV-Coating
Refine and protect your postcard with a premium UV-coating, starting at a paper weight of 80 lb.
Creasing
Do you want to have your postcard creased (recommended for coated cover and board papers)?

Please note that despite the creasing we cannot guarantee that the spine does not crack.

Please note that the respective proof can be ordered only once (original order). A subsequent proof cannot be ordered/delivered if you make modifications after receiving the proof.
