Note Cards & Postcards
Individuals and businesses often send notes to friends, family and coworkers. Postcards continue to be a unique way to show recipients that they are important. If you don’t have the ability to spend time with those you care about or just want to make a statement, these products can be a memorable way to let someone know you are thinking about them. Whether you want to say “thank you” or wish them happy holidays, postcards are a perfect way to show the recipient that you care. Read on to learn how to choose a postcard that will leave a lasting impression.

Postcard type refers to the kind of notecard that is used. Some of the types include blank cards, index cards, notecards and thank you cards. Regardless of which theme or type you choose, you can use any pens and other office supplies to personalize each card for the recipient.
Are There Different Finishing Styles for Postcards?
Yes, there are various finishing styles to choose from. A finishing style is the type of paper design that helps add more depth to the postcard content. This is an important factor for individuals and businesses to consider. A finishing style can help focus a design or add flair to the postcard contents itself. Some styles include:
- Glossy
- Luster
- Matte
- Metallic
- Satin
- Smooth
- Uncoated
Calligraphy pens are commonly used to also add depth to a postcard along with the finishing style. Regardless of the style chosen, each will provide the recipient with an elegant design that will make it more memorable.
Can a Postcard Be Placed in a Printer?
This depends on the functions available on your individual printer, but there are all-in-one printers available that are capable of printing on postcards. In order to print on a postcard, be sure to review your printer’s features to see if it supports the size of the paper being used. If the printer supports the correct document size, place the card in the paper feed and send the request from your computer to the printer.
Are Postcards Recyclable?
Yes, postcards are recyclable! They are typically made from paper materials that are easily broken down and can be recycled. There are also environmentally friendly, total recycled and post-consumer recycled postcards that are available for purchase through Staples.
