Postcards Printing | Gold Image Printing
Over the past few months in San Diego, we have seen many businesses using postcards to promote their brand and products. This is a fantastic marketing technique because postcards are not only cost-effective but are easy to print and are also perfect for target marketing. This means that you can decide on a target audience and can specifically send out postcards to them. They are also very stealthy because they can help you maintain secrecy when you do not want many people to know about your offers except your target audience. Therefore, if you are a business operating in San Diego, you must also start sending postcards to your clients.
However, many postcard printing companies are running their operations in San Diego. They are all not worth your money, so you should figure out the best postcard printing company from among them for your brand. In San Diego, your best option can only be Gold Image Printing. Our online postcard printing services are the best in the city and will prove to be worthy of your money. We ensure high-quality postcard printing at our place so that you can make the most of them and convince a good number of potential customers to buy from you.
Options for Size
The most important feature of postcards is their size. If your postcards’ size is not appropriate and accurate, all of your efforts can get wasted. Therefore, you must make sure to decide the right size for your postcards. One of the many reasons why postcards are used to send a message is that they allow you to stay focused towards a certain point. This means that you cannot add loads of information to them. Therefore, you must first figure out the length of the content you will get printed on the postcards. After that, it will become significantly easier for you to pick the right size.
At our company, you can opt for 4 x 6, 4.25 x 5.5, 5 x 7, 5.5 x 8.5, 6 x 9, 6 x 11, 3 x 4, 6.5 x 9.5 and 5 x 7 postcard printing services. We also have some amazing templates that you can use if you fail to come up with a design of your own.
Besides, you can also avail of our custom postcard printing services. If you do not find the measurements mentioned above appropriate enough for your postcards, you can choose custom size and let us know. We will welcome it warmly!
Variety of Paper
Another key feature of the postcards is their paper type. You cannot use ordinary paper for postcard printing. This is because an ideal paper type for the postcards needs to be hard and tough enough. It should not tear apart easily and must have an attractive finish. It should have a texture similar to that of a card. Moreover, it should also provide you with maximum ease of printing. Following are the types of paper available at Gold Image Printing for postcards printing:
-
14pt Gloss Cover
-
14pt Uncoated
-
16pt Gloss Cover
-
16pt Matte Cover
-
17.5 Eggshell Ultra White
-
14pt Stardream Metallic Crystal White
-
17pt Royal Sundance Felt Ultra White
-
120 Desert Storm Kraft
-
110 Classic Crest Natural White
These amazing types of paper come with a semi-gloss coating that brings an excellent finishing touch to them. They are all hard and smooth in texture, offering great ease of printing and writing. They also have a white base color that allows you to choose any color to paint them in and prevents its effect from getting masked. Check out our other paper stock for more paper options!
Choices for Color
You should make a well-thought decision about the color as well. This is because it is as essential as the size and the material of the postcards. If the color you choose does not translate with your brand message, your postcards might fail to impress your clients. Therefore, you need to be extremely particular and specific about the color you choose. We have assembled many different shades for every existing color in our fantastic Color Chart. You can find the right color for your postcards in between those thousands of shades.
At our place, you are provided with full-color postcards printing. You can either get the color on the front or both the sides of your postcards. Our fantastic blending of the four beautiful primary colors will make sure to create that color for you on your cards.
Specialty Available
The better the appearance of your postcards, the more widespread their effect will be. Therefore, to help you decorate them, we provide the specialty of adding round corners to them. If you want your postcards to look unique and simple at the same time, you can ask us to convert their clichéd squared corners into distinct round corners of radius ¼”. With this added feature, your postcards will appear special and exclusive. We specialize in customizing so if you want foil stamping, emboss, deboss, letterpress, and so forth, you can request a custom quote!
Printing Cost and Turnaround
In the entire San Diego, postcards are printed at very high rates. However, at Gold Image Printing, the postcard printing cost is the lowest in the whole city. We have specially kept the prices low so that businesses of all types can taste this wonderful marketing technique’s benefits. It does not mean that we compromise on quality standards. Even if we charge a low amount for our services, we maintain our high-quality standards.
Besides, you can order 100-100,000 postcards, and based on your quantity, our experienced and professional riders will deliver your order to you in the given time. They can ship your postcards the same day, the next day, or at most in two business days. They can make your delivery within 3 hours if you want your postcards urgently. They will also ensure that each of your postcards is safely delivered to you without undergoing any damage.
To conclude, postcards are an excellent means of advertising your brand to prospective, new, or old clients. You can use them to inform your clients easily about your new offers. Therefore, you must get them printed from Gold Image Printing to make the best use of them. You can also get many other postcards, including Foil Stamp Postcards, Raised Spot UV Postcards, Soft Touch Postcards, etc. You can find great detail about them and many more options on our Postcards Printing Services Page.
