Postcards and prices

Postcards were first patented in Philadelphia in 1861; they were created to fulfil public demand for a method of sending quick notes by post (an early email!). The Royal Mail granted permission for postcards to be sent in the UK in 1894.

At Minuteman Press we design and print postcards most often for the purposes of promotion of products, services and events.

Postcards are typically produced A6 (105 x 148) on 250gsm, 300gsm or 400gsm card stock as required. Cards can be single or double sided, full or single colour, unlaminated, matt or gloss laminated (a thin protective film applied to the postcard) on one or both sides.

Volumes produced are from 20 to 100,000.

If you have your own postcard design, you may supply Minuteman Press with a digital file, which should have adequate bleeds and crop marks. This will ensure that Minuteman Press can print all the way to the edge of the postcard. If you don’t have a file, Minuteman Press will be pleased to turn your concept into a reality. Files can be uploaded via the ‘File transfers’ tab.

REMEMBER: The prices below are current examples. Every job is different. We can deliver anything (well almost!).
