Card guide

The purpose of the card determines the size, paper and content. An invitation, a postcard, a thank you card and a gift card do not need the same structure.

Steps in brief

  1. Decide the purpose of the card.
  2. Select the size and paper.
  3. Prepare the artwork at the finished product size.
  4. Check the texts, images and possible address side.
  5. Send a print-ready PDF.

Choose the card according to the purpose of use

For an invitation, consider the occasion and tone. For a postcard, plan both the message and any address area. The value, terms and contact information must be clearly visible on the gift card.

Keep the text readable

The card has a small surface. Use large enough text and leave empty space so that the end result doesn't feel cluttered.

Check both sides

If the card is printed double-sided, check the front and back separately before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

Which card size should you choose?

A6 is suitable for many invitations and postcards. Narrower and square sizes work when the look needs to stand out.

Can the card be printed on both sides?

Yes, if the selected product has double-sided printing.

How do I avoid a crowded design?

Trim content and keep important information clear. Blank space on a card often improves quality more than additional text.
