Postcards are stunning!

Sep 19, 2025 | Haena K. | Verified Buyer
I ordered 4 x 6 in. postcards for two designs, with two different treatments (glossy and matte). Both came out gorgeous, better than anticipated. I also really appreciated how quickly it was produced and delivered. They came through for me when I had a small window for a quick turnaround!

I love that I was able to feel and hold the cards that I will be purchasing. Thank you for providing this option

Fast Delivery, Very Helpful For Finding What I Needed

The sampler kit arrived much faster than expected. Having samples of each card made it easy for me to make my choice. Well worth ordering!

Made it easier to make a decision

I took off one star only because it didn’t have the card with the embossed print which we really wanted to see. We decided to not risk it and ordered just the flat glossy card. It was nice to see the different styles and card stock size.

Paper samples

I requested paper samples to show a client, which were free, and was told I would receive them within two weeks…they arrived a few days later - just in time for a client meeting.
