We aim to produce and dispatch all orders as quickly and efficiently as possible. As every product is custom printed to order, turnaround times can vary depending on artwork approval, quantity, finishing options and the complexity of the project. More specialist products and finishes, including duplex, triplex, die cut and foiled items, will usually require additional production time due to the extra processes involved.
As you configure your product, the online calculator updates in real time to show an estimated turnaround based on your chosen options. Once you approve your proof, our team will email you a dispatch estimate for your specific order. This estimate covers the production time from proof approval to dispatch and does not include courier delivery time.
Rush Production
If you’re working towards a tight deadline, we also offer a Rush Service at checkout which means you can reduce the production turnaround by 1 business day on eligible products.

How Effective Are Postcards for Direct Mail Marketing?+
Direct mail postcards allow businesses to place key information directly in front of recipients without requiring a separate action before the message becomes visible. Unlike many digital channels, recipients do not need to click, open, or respond to a call to action before seeing the content, making postcards a useful format for promotions, announcements, event invitations, and customer communications.
Physical print can also have a longer visual lifespan than many digital messages. A postcard that is kept on a desk, coffee table, bulletin board, or kitchen counter may be seen multiple times before a decision is made, helping reinforce the message beyond the initial delivery. Like any marketing activity, results still depend heavily on audience selection, offer quality, timing, and design.
How Do Businesses Use Postcards for Marketing and Customer Communication?+
Businesses use postcards throughout the customer journey, from acquiring new customers to maintaining relationships with existing ones. Promotional campaigns, product launches, event invitations, referral schemes, appointment reminders, thank you cards, seasonal offers, and customer reactivation campaigns are all examples we see frequently.
The format works when the goal is to communicate a single clear message without overwhelming the recipient with information. Beyond promotional activity, postcards are also used for customer communication, allowing businesses to remain visible between transactions while continuing to reinforce their brand.
When Should You Use Postcards Instead of Flyers?+
The key difference is that postcards are generally used for targeted communication, while flyers are more commonly used for canvassing. Although there can be some overlap, postcards are often sent to specific customers, prospects, members, or households, whereas flyers are frequently distributed more broadly to generate awareness across a larger audience.
Postcards work well when the objective is to deliver a focused message to a defined group of recipients. Promotional offers, event invitations, appointment reminders, customer reactivation campaigns, thank you cards, and personalized marketing campaigns are all common examples. The ability to personalize content can also make postcards easier to tailor to individual recipients or customer segments.
Flyers are often chosen when the goal is to maximize reach rather than target specific individuals. They are commonly used for door drops, in-store distribution, event handouts, takeaway menus, local advertising, and community campaigns where businesses want to place information in front of as many potential customers as possible.
What Postcard Size Works Best for Different Marketing Goals?+
The best postcard size depends on the message you are trying to communicate and how much space is needed to communicate it effectively. Larger postcards can create greater visual impact and provide more room for imagery, branding, and supporting information, while smaller formats can be easier to digest when the message is simple and focused.
Junior Legal postcards are often chosen for direct mail campaigns, promotional offers, appointment reminders, and thank you cards where a concise message is the priority. Half-letter postcards are better suited to event promotion, product launches, hospitality marketing, and campaigns that rely more heavily on photography, artwork, or detailed visuals.
Rather than choosing the largest size available, it is often better to choose the format that best matches the content. A clear message supported by an appropriate amount of space will generally be more effective than trying to fit too much information onto a postcard, regardless of its dimensions.
What Is the Best Paper Stock for Postcard Printing?+
There is no single paper stock solution for every postcard project. The right choice depends on the purpose of the postcard, who will receive it, and how the finished piece will be used.
Silk and uncoated stocks remain popular all-round options for marketing campaigns, promotional mailers, and business communications. Recycled, wheat, and cannabis papers are often chosen by environmentally conscious brands, while textured papers such as Tintoretto Gesso, Zeta Linen, and Arpa Ribbed are more commonly selected when the postcard itself forms part of the customer experience.
Paper stock is only one part of the decision-making process. Size, shape, finish, and design can often influence the success of a postcard just as much as the material itself. Consider how you want to communicate through your postcards. The most suitable paper is often the one that best supports the purpose of the postcard rather than the one with the highest specification.
Should Postcards Be Printed Single-Sided or Double-Sided?+
A postcard has two sides available, and using both can provide greater flexibility without increasing the physical size of the finished piece. One side can focus on attracting attention with a headline, image, offer, or key message, while the reverse can be used for supporting information, contact details, QR codes, booking instructions, or terms and conditions.
Single-sided postcards work well when the message is intentionally simple. If you're promoting a single offer, announcing an event, or communicating one clear call to action, keeping everything on one side can make the message quicker to absorb and easier to remember.
The best option depends on the amount of information you need to communicate. Adding a second printed side should help support the message rather than simply provide extra space to fill.
What Information Should Be Included on a Marketing Postcard?+
The most effective marketing postcards focus on a single objective or call to action. This could be promoting an offer, announcing an event, introducing a product, encouraging a booking, or directing recipients towards a website. Keeping the message focused makes it easier for recipients to understand what action is being requested.
Most postcards include a headline, supporting message, clear call to action, contact details, and any information needed for the recipient to take the next step. Depending on the campaign, postcards can also include QR codes, promotional codes, personalised offers, recipient details, event information, booking instructions, or links to dedicated landing pages. Prioritizing the most important information helps prevent the design from becoming overcrowded.
Postcards can be personalized with different names, addresses, QR codes, offers, or other variable information within the same print run. Simply select "All Prints Personalized via Data Merge" on our product configurator and provide your spreadsheet once your order has been placed. Each row of data generates a single postcard, while each column represents a separate data field, so it is important to check all information carefully before submission.
Which Print Finishes Work Best on Postcards?+
Print finishes influence the look and feel of a postcard upon arrival. Some are chosen to improve durability and protect the printed surface during handling and mailing, while others are used to emphasize specific design elements or create a stronger visual impact.
Matte lamination is a popular all-round choice for marketing campaigns and business communications, while gloss finishes can help colors appear more vibrant. Soft-touch lamination is often selected for postcards where presentation plays a larger role and is required if you would like to add metallic foil or raised spot UV to your design.
The most effective finish is often the one that supports the message being communicated. In many cases, a subtle finish that complements the design can be more effective than multiple decorative effects competing for attention.
What Makes a Postcard More Likely to Be Kept Rather Than Thrown Away?+
People keep postcards when they contain information worth returning to. Discounts, event information, appointment reminders, useful contact details, loyalty incentives, calendars, reference information, and other practical content can all give recipients a reason to keep a postcard for longer.
Design and presentation also play a role. A well-designed postcard that combines a clear offer, useful information, strong branding, or a memorable visual can remain visible long after it has been received. For example, a takeaway menu, discount voucher, appointment reminder or seasonal promotion may all earn a place on a fridge, bulletin board, desk, or coffee table for very different reasons.
Ultimately, the most successful postcard campaigns are the ones that combine usefulness, relevance and strong design.
How Do Businesses Use Postcards as Part of a Wider Marketing Campaign?+
Businesses rarely rely on postcards as a standalone marketing activity. Instead, postcards are often used as one touchpoint within a wider campaign to reinforce a message across multiple channels, such as email marketing, social media, websites, paid advertising, events, and in-person sales activity.
Postcards are often used to reinforce activity that is already taking place elsewhere. A customer may see an advertisement online, receive an email, visit a website, or encounter a business on social media before receiving a postcard that reinforces the same message. Postcards can also provide additional information that may not have been included in earlier touchpoints, whether through QR codes, promotional offers, product details, event information, or other supporting content.

I found it in Aura Print. Real humans looking over every detail of my order, double checking and making sure I was satisfied before dispatch. They were quick to answer (again, with a real person) on their website's chat function too. Yes, there are cheaper options, but in this case you absolutely get what you pay for. Even without the exceptional quality of the items, knowing that I would actually receive what I wanted was worth it alone. So to reframe it that way, their services are something of a steal. Can't recommend highly enough.

From the very beginning, Stef was incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable. She took the time to carefully review my artwork, explain the printing process, and provide honest recommendations to ensure the final product met the highest quality standards. Her attention to detail and willingness to help made what could have been a stressful process feel manageable.
When my order arrived, I was absolutely blown away. The bookmarks, thank-you cards, and stickers exceeded my expectations. The print quality, colors, finishes, and overall craftsmanship are stunning. Everything feels premium and perfectly reflects the special edition reader gift bundle I envisioned.
If you're looking for a company that truly cares about quality and customer satisfaction, I highly recommend them. Thank you, Stef, for your professionalism, expertise, and exceptional customer service. I look forward to working with you again on future projects!

I didn't want to go with the average run of the mill business cards, so I requested some free samples to see what my options were. I learned about card thickness, soft touch vs velvet touch, foil printing, QR codes. I then used AI to make a graphic of my business card and sent it out to get quotes. I dont know about graphic programs and what it takes to make a business card, so when they wanted me to make overlays of what i wanted foil printed, I had no Idea how to do that. But Alex, from Aura Print, said they had a great in house design team that could handle it for a small fee. So i had them take my business card, do what they needed to do to it so they could print it. Alex kept me up to date with the progress, sent me graphics to approve, and then it was off to print. I was a bit worried about shipping to the USA from the UK, but it arrived with in a few days from shipping.
Im very happy with my business card, it looks and feels amazing. I would highly recommend Aura Print to make business cards. When I need more, I will defiantly re-order from Aura Print!!

Before you print, be sure to read their very detailed page that shows and lists the differences between paper and finish types. I went with recycled paper, and the colors of my print are less vibrant than the design file—just like they said it would be!

The team were also really helpful with the artwork/bleed requirements and made sure everything was right before going to print, which I really appreciated because this gift meant a lot.
Seeing them in person, I’m genuinely buzzing with how good they look. Couldn’t recommend Aura Print enough if you want custom cards done properly.

I had a bit of an odd project, reproducing a stagecoach ticket from 1891 and binding 600 of them into ticket books. Also, I needed to show the age and character of the piece, and it was important for the size to be historically accurate. Nicola was so helpful and knowledgeable through every step of the project to make sure the details were exactly right.

I custom designed an invitation suite for a retirement party, and first worked with Aura on my save-the-dates before doing a larger order. I was blown away by the lightning-fast proofing process, and then the incredibly quick printing. Both orders included custom foiling (which I could not find for a better price point anywhere, especially here in the US). We graphic designers know that human creativity is the core of what we do, which is why I was so appreciative that I was working with fellow humans through this process, and not through some AI. Further, the shipping process was spectacular. Whereas many US-based businesses were offering week-long SHIPPING times (excluding printing), Aura offers as its default UPS Express shipping for the US. As a result, their shipments have a 2-day transit time (for me, in a smaller city, but would be overnight for major metros), and are guaranteed by UPS. Having traversed the world of e-commerce shipping, nothing brings me greater relief than to see UPS as a shipping option. Additionally, and quite importantly for my fellow US designers, because my order consisted of what could reasonably be described as printed marketing materials, they should not be subject to tariffs. The shipping department at Aura made sure that the customs information was filled out correctly, leaving me with no duties to pay, for which I am eternally grateful. Awed by the quality of my save-the-dates, proceeding with the rest of my suite was a no-brainer, which included a main invite, detail card, and reply card. The turnaround time was similarly rapid, and the quality of the work simply unmatched. To all designers, but especially those in the US, do not let the idea of an international shipper stop you. I've never known a more professional company, period, and will certainly be reordering whenever my next printing job arises. SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES! Thank you Aura Print for your incredible service!

Excellent help from the website enabled me to create the necessary files for uploading from scratch. I needed to clarify a couple of requirements (noob tech questions), but after the phone call with the excellently informative and patient customer support, all was clear. Shared the files via Google, digital proof the next day, invitations arrived a week later (standard turnaround). Excellent quality! The packaging was exceptional, so the 100 invitations were perfect on arrival N.B. a signed-for delivery allows you to inspect the package and sign for damage, if you see any. Very pleased indeed with the product and process, so I am more than happy to recommend Aura Print!

The process required more back-and-forth than expected, particularly around artwork setup and technical specifications, which would benefit from clearer guidance earlier on. Additionally, some of the smaller text printed finer than anticipated, so this is something to be mindful of when preparing artwork for print.
That said, once everything was resolved, the team delivered a strong final result.
Overall, a high-quality product, with some opportunity to improve the clarity and flow of the customer experience.
