Postcard format and template

Updated this week

Planning to send postcards with ClickSend? Here’s everything you need to know to ensure your artwork is print-ready and meets our specifications.


Address placement

ClickSend postcards are printed double-sided (front and back), on glossy 300gsm stock. The recipient’s address is automatically printed on the back—so it’s important to leave space for this.


Postcard template

As we automatically stamp the recipient address onto the postcard. It's important that you don't have content in that area or we will stamp over it. You can use our template to make sure you get content placement right.
