Postcards still cut through — as a direct-mail drop, a handout, a save-the-date or an invitation. We print postcards and invitations in-house at Marrickville on premium card, with the finishes to make them feel special.
The most popular sizes are DL (99 x 210mm), A6 (105 x 148mm) and A5 (148 x 210mm), plus square for invitations. Print single-sided for a simple card, or double-sided so you can put your message on the front and details, a map or a QR code on the back.
Postcards are printed on sturdy 300 to 350gsm card so they survive the post and feel substantial in the hand. Choose a gloss finish to make colours pop, a matt finish for an understated look, a velvety soft-touch laminate, or a spot UV highlight.
A well-designed postcard is one of the few marketing pieces that lands physically in someone hand. Add a QR code to bridge to your website or offer, and keep the message short and the call to action clear. We can advise on sizes that suit Australia Post.
Supply a print-ready PDF at the finished size with 3mm bleed, in CMYK, with images at 300dpi. Not print-ready? Upload what you have and we will check it for free.

Incredible service! Zahid was very helpful with printing a custom card deck. The quality was great and fair pricing and much support and care provided along the way and throughout reprints. Thank you Dot2Dot!
Helped me make posters for my business, nice staff, quick turn around
Have used these guys to do two small runs of business cards. Quick and professional.
The most popular sizes are A6 (105 x 148mm) and DL (99 x 210mm), with A5 (148 x 210mm) when you want more room and square for invitations. A6 and DL are the go-to sizes for direct mail and handouts.
Gloss makes colours and photos pop and adds a bit of shine, which suits vibrant, image-led designs. Matt is smooth and understated, and is easier to write on. Soft-touch laminate sits in between with a premium, velvety feel.
Double-sided is usually worth it — put your main message or image on the front and the details, a map, an offer or a QR code on the back. Single-sided suits a simple card or invitation.
Yes. A physical postcard stands out precisely because so much marketing is now digital — it lands in the hand and is hard to ignore. Keep the design bold, the message short and the call to action clear, and add a QR code to link through to your site or offer.
Definitely. A QR code is a great way to connect a printed postcard to your website, booking page or a special offer. Just include it in your artwork, or ask us and we can add one.
Yes. We check your artwork for free and can supply a proof for approval before we run the job, so you know exactly what you are getting.
We recommend 300 to 350gsm card. It is sturdy enough to survive being posted and handled, and feels far more premium than thin stock. Add a laminate for extra durability.
Yes, we can print on recycled and environmentally friendly stocks. Let us know it matters to you and we will recommend a suitable option.
We print short runs as well as large quantities, so you can order a small batch for an event or thousands for a mail-out. Tell us your quantity and we will quote accordingly.
It depends on the size, quantity, stock, finish and whether they are single or double-sided, and the price per card drops as the quantity rises. Send us your specs and we will reply with an exact quote.
