Embossed Gloss Postcards

Jul 11, 2025 | Meriah K. | Verified Buyer
These came out SO cute! Exactly how I imagined! The UV gloss was perfectly placed and raised enough to be noticeable against the sleek matte postcard. My only issue was that because I wanted a specific minimalist design on the front side for the gloss, the rest of my design had to go on the back of the postcard which meant the images didn’t come out quite as clear, color correct, and detailed as I’d hoped, I’m guessing because the backside is never as high-end as the front side. I’ll definitely be ordering the gloss emboss cards again, just dialing down my design expectations for the backside slightly and making them a little more plain and less image oriented.

Love these cards!

The cards are beautiful and professional looking. the stock is much thicker than expected, which was a nice surprise! I showed them to our marketing manager and he is very impressed with the quality of the stock and glossy embossing. Thank you vistaprint!

Quality product. I love Vistaprint. Wish shipping wasn't so expensive, but if you watch for coupons, it's totally worth it.
