High quality papers for postcard printing
Print24.com offers a variety of paper options for your postcards. Our glossy or matte premium coated art papers, available in 170, 250, and 350 gsm, provide excellent color representation and depth, especially for photos.
For a durable yet affordable option, choose Chromo board or coated board premium in 300 or 400 gsm. Chromo board is a classic choice with an uncoated back for easy writing.
For exclusive invitation or greeting cards, we recommend our premium paper. Chamois and bright white offer a unique look, while linen and ribbed provide a pleasant feel.
For very exclusive postcards, such as wedding invitations, Luxecore paper is ideal. At 750 gsm, it is exceptionally stable and available in ribbed, linen, bright white, or chamois.
For economical options like mailings or participation cards, offset or recycled paper is suitable. These can be processed with standard printers or copiers.
Groundwood pulp board, with its slightly structured surface, is also a great choice. At 1.4 mm thick and 575 gsm, this slightly yellowish board, made from shredded wood, ensures your postcards are particularly stable.
Refine postcards after printing - options with print24
If you are a reseller aiming to create high-quality cards for your customers or elegant postcards for events like weddings and anniversaries, consider refining the surface.
Blind embossing offers a sophisticated and subtle touch, perfect for printing year numbers or initials as deep or high embossing.
For a more robust and stable postcard surface, a cellophane coating is ideal. This laminated foil is available in matte, gloss, linen texture, or soft touch.
Enhance your postcards with hot foil or hot foil relief embossing. Embossed motifs or texts can be highlighted with foil in gold, silver, copper, bronze, red, or blue.
For an exclusive glossy effect, choose UV surface varnish. Individual details can be accentuated with UV spot varnish or relief varnish.
If desired, we can combine various paper finishes. Refer to the configurator to explore exciting combinations.
A protective varnish makes your product more resistant to wear and tear, more attractive to the touch and even more appealing to the eye. That's why a protective coating is the recommended finish for postcards, for example.
With blind embossing, you can highlight a motif vividly. If you choose a high embossing, your motif will be displayed in a raised position, if you choose a deep embossing, the motif will be imprinted as a dent in your printed product.
With laminating, a wafer-thin film is applied to your printed product. This gives your printed product a higher quality and at the same time makes it more robust.
Hot foil stamping uses pressure and heat to apply coatings from a carrier foil to your printed product. This allows you to enhance your print product with metallic effects, for example.
Hot foil relief stamping is a combination of relief stamping and hot foil stamping and combines visual and tactile effects.
With relief varnish you can highlight certain areas of your printed product both visually and haptically, these are printed glossy and elevated.
With UV surface varnishing, an additional layer of varnish is applied to your printed product, which gives it additional protection and makes it look even higher quality.
With UV spot varnishing, the varnish is applied only partially. This allows you to highlight certain areas of your product both visually and haptically.
What printing options are available for postcard creation?
By default, we use the CMYK four-color process to print your postcards, producing photos, graphics, or illustrations in any color.
The combination of CMYK / Black with Pantone ensures consistent results. If you want a full-surface paint application, it is best to use special colours. Thanks to the unique colour code, colour deviations are excluded.
Combining CMYK/Black with Pantone ensures consistent results. For full-surface color application, special colors are best, as their unique codes prevent color deviations.
After printing, we cut your postcards to size and can optionally round the corners. For folding cards, attendance cards, or vouchers, we can add grooves or perforation lines. We recommend creasing folding cards with a grammage of 170 gsm or higher.
We offer two methods for printing gold or silver inks: traditional offset printing and digital printing. The latter is suitable for small print runs, using metallic toner with special pigments for a reflective effect, comparable to offset printing and allowing for metallic effects even in gradations.
The "Gold/Silver Digital" option enhances four-color printing with gold and silver simultaneously. These luxurious decorations add a professional touch, making your postcards stand out and creating a desire to keep them.
