How To Create A Printable Postcard In Adobe Illustrator
Postcards during the old times are only used to write to a family or a friend. It is like a letter for a special one, but it does not contain plain text only, but, with a photo of a place. Postcards can also be the means of imagery of a distant place that someone dreamt of having a vacation. In that sense, business postcards are used as advertisement of a popular tourist attraction. The use of postcards has evolved and now has become an effective tool for advertising. Postcards need to be created beautifully whatever its purpose. We have templates and tips that will help in your postcard making.

As have discussed above, the usage of a postcard has upgraded and can now be used for business marketing. When you start making the postcard, know what the postcard is for so that incorporating the design elements will be easy. The type of postcard can be simply for your family or a friend. This type of postcard is usually sent with a friendly letter. Postcards that are mainly for business contains branding elements for an organization or company.
2. Use High-Quality Images
Unlike letters, the primary use of a postcard is for visualization. It still contains a message but is limited. That is why using images with high-resolution is a must for postcards. The image inserted in the postcard needs to be on its proper size and should be in a horizontal orientation. Insert photos that are related to the current holiday or the message written on the postcard. It can be in vintage, modern, retro, floral, or any creative style that will make the postcard look beautiful.
3. Write A Short Message
Keep the message of your postcard simple and short because you are limited in space. No need to worry because when you send a postcard, you can also send it together with a hand-written letter. Postcards are usually inserted inside the envelope of a letter. That is applicable if your postcard is for personal purposes. If your postcard is a promotional postcard, then the message should be the information about the place you are promoting.

Making a postcard can sometimes be tricky most, especially if you are not an expert in editing. To solve your problem, we have ready-made postcard templates that will make your life hassle-free.

When you start editing the template, use better editing software for your convenience. We recommend using Adobe Illustrator since this software has easy to navigate editing buttons and has easy to memorize commands.
5. Print Using A Sturdy Paper
Postcards are always printed in a standard thick, sturdy paper. Use thick paper stock like heavy-duty 16-point gloss or 13-point recycled matte when you print the postcard. If by chance your postcard is for thanking a friend, then it will be nice if you print the postcard together with a thank you card and send it to your friend or family.
