Before you upload
Getting your file ready
Postcards are printed on thick 300gsm card and cut to size, so your file needs a little extra around the edge. Four quick checks and your postcards will come out just the way you pictured them. Not sure about something? Ask us and we'll gladly take a look.
Front first, then the back
Double-sided? Put the front on page 1 and the back on page 2 of one file. Single-sided? Just send one page. Portrait or landscape both work.
Add 3mm bleed
Make your page 6mm bigger than the finished size, 3mm on every side, and stretch backgrounds and photos right to the edge. That way no white shows after we cut.
Keep 3mm safe inside the cut
Keep words, logos, phone numbers and faces at least 3mm inside the cut line. Cutting can move a fraction, so anything closer to the edge could be trimmed off.
Sharp photos, one file
Use 300 dpi photos and CMYK colour, and embed your fonts. Upload a PDF, PNG or JPG, up to 20MB. Leave off any crop or trim marks.
Size and free Canva templates
Each template has a front and back page, already set to the right size with bleed, with purple guide lines showing the cut line and the safe zone. Pick portrait or landscape.

Quick answers
Common questions
Can't see your question? Call us on 08 8688 2115 or send us a message.
How should I set up my file?
- Make your page 111 × 154 mm, which is the 105 × 148 mm postcard plus 3mm bleed on every side. Turn it on its side (154 × 111 mm) for landscape.
- Double-sided? Put the front on page 1 and the back on page 2 of the same file.
- Stretch backgrounds and photos right to the edge of the page, and keep words, logos and details at least 3mm inside the cut line, which is 6mm in from the edge of your page.
- Save it as a PDF, up to 20MB, and upload it in step 1. Single-sided cards can also be a PNG or JPG.
What size are A6 postcards?
They're 105 × 148 mm, about the size of a standard postcard, printed on thick 300gsm card. You can choose portrait or landscape. Need a bigger card? Have a look at our A5 cards or DL cards.
What is bleed, and do I need it?
Yes. Bleed is an extra 3mm of background on every side that gets cut off. We print your postcards slightly bigger and cut them down to size, so the bleed makes sure colour runs right to the edge with no thin white line. Our Canva templates already include it.
What is the safe zone?
The safe zone is the area 3mm inside the cut line. Cutting can move a fraction, so keep anything important, like your name, phone number, logo and faces in photos, inside it. In our Canva templates it's the inner purple line. The outer purple line is where we cut.
Single or double-sided?
Your choice. Double-sided gives you room on the back for a message, contact details, a map or a space to write on. Put the front on page 1 and the back on page 2 of your file. Single-sided is printed on the front only, so send one page. If you'd like a fridge magnet on the back, choose single-sided.
Can you add a fridge magnet?
Yes, on single-sided cards. A self-adhesive magnetic strip, 40 × 15 mm, is stuck to the back at the top centre, so your card stays on the fridge. Handy for appointment cards, contact details and promotions. Choose Add magnet strip in step 2.
Can I use them as gift vouchers?
Yes, A6 postcards make great gift vouchers. If you need each one numbered (No. 001, 002 and so on), please ask us for a quote before ordering. Leave a clear space on your design where the number will go.
Do you have free Canva templates?
Yes, in portrait and landscape. Each one has a front and back page, set up with bleed, and purple guide lines show the cut line and the safe zone.
- Click the Portrait or Landscape template button in “Getting your file ready” above.
- Click Use template in Canva. You'll need to log in or create a free Canva account. This saves your own copy to your Canva account.
- Add your design. Stretch backgrounds to the edge of the page, and keep words and faces inside the inner purple line. Can't see the lines? Click File, then Rulers and guides, then Show rulers and guides (Shift+R).
- Delete the TB Print instructions box. The purple lines don't print, so you can leave those. Printing single-sided? Delete page 2.
- Click Share, then Download, and choose PDF Print with all pages selected. Leave “Crop marks and bleed” unticked, as the template already includes the bleed, then click Download.
- Upload your PDF in step 1 at the top of this page.
What file types can I upload?
A PDF, PNG or JPG, up to 20MB. Double-sided postcards need a PDF, with the front on page 1 and the back on page 2. Use 300 dpi photos and CMYK colour, embed your fonts, and leave off any crop or trim marks.
Can you design it for me?
Yes, two ways in step 1:
- Template, $80. Pick one of our ready-made designs and we add your details, like your name, logo and contact details, ready to print.
- Custom design, $350. Tell us what you'd like and we'll create 2 to 3 concept designs for you to choose from, then finish your pick ready to print. Your PDF proof arrives within 2 working days of choosing a concept, with 2 rounds of changes included.
Printing starts once you approve the proof.
Can you check my file before printing?
Yes. Choose “Check my file” in step 3 for $20 and we'll check your size, bleed, resolution and colour setup before printing, and contact you if anything needs fixing. We don't check spelling or wording, so please check your details carefully. If you choose “Print as supplied”, your postcards are printed exactly as supplied, and a reprint caused by something in the file is charged.
How many can I order?
From 20 postcards. Choose your quantity in step 2 and your total is shown in step 3. Need a large run or numbered vouchers? Contact us for a quote. Need them by a certain date? Please contact us before ordering.
How will my postcards get to me?
All orders are printed, cut and sent from our shop in Tumby Bay with Australia Post, Australia wide. Orders placed on weekends and public holidays are processed on the next working day. We don't offer weekend or next-day delivery.
What if something's wrong with my order?
If your postcards arrive damaged, we made a mistake, or you received the wrong item, we'll reprint, replace or refund them. We can't offer refunds for a change of mind, mistakes in the file you supplied such as typos, wrong details or missing bleed, or options chosen incorrectly at checkout. Please contact us and we'll sort it out.
