Register or Login, if you want to be unique this holiday season, you should send nice personal custom postcards to your friends and family instead of the usual greeting cards. Do not worry, postcard printing is not really hard. Here are four simple steps that you can follow to create your own custom postcards from home.
1. Getting that right picture.
First, since postcards have big cover images, you should try getting the right picture. The right picture is a simple and very straightforward image that communicates your message to people. So for example,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, if you want to greet people with your holiday postcard why not take a picture of yourself in a Santa hat. It is simple but quite interesting since it is a custom design. Do not try to confuse people with exotic abstract images that they will not really understand. You will only have a hard time getting your message across. Just use something personal and quite touching or funny.
On the technical side of things, the right picture should always be large and in a digital format. By large,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, I mean the pictures must be in a high resolution anything from 300-600 dpi should be good. This should make the image appear on the postcard far clearer. So scan your images using the large setting and if you are taking digital photographs, make sure that the camera is always set into high quality.
2. Getting the right template.
After getting the right picture you need to get the right postcard template. Since a postcard must have a standard dimension that the postal service will accept,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, it is good to download templates that are of course within the standard specifications. I recommend downloading postcard templates from actual postcard printers since they will usually have the best and most accurate templates. Try looking online and you should find plenty of useful ones.
