What Paper Types Can Be Used for Postcards?
The tactile experience of a postcard plays a major role in how it’s received — and that’s largely influenced by the type of paper you choose. At FLYERALARM, we offer a variety of paper stocks, each bringing its own flair and purpose to your custom postcard printing.
- Gold Paper
Add a premium touch to your message with shimmering gold paper. Ideal for luxury brands or special occasions, it gives your postcards an elegant, eye-catching finish.
- Recycled & Eco-Friendly Papers
Show your commitment to sustainability with recycled paper certified by the Blue Angel label. You can also opt for kraft or wood pulp board, which have a natural, earthy look and feel.
- Sticker Board (Peel-Off Stickers)
Want a postcard that sticks — literally? Choose board stock with an adhesive backing. Perfect for giveaways and promotions, these postcards double as stickers your audience will love to keep.
- SBS Board & Silk Paper
For a sleek and sturdy option, go with SBS board or silk paper in a range of thicknesses. A heavier paper stock conveys quality, but be careful not to go too thick — you still want your postcard to pin up easily and handle well in the mail.
Each paper type brings a different sensory and visual appeal to your design. Whether you’re going for sustainable charm or standout shine, we’ve got a material that suits your brand.
What Makes Postcards Stand Out? Material & Finish Combinations
It’s not just about the paper — the finish you choose can completely elevate your postcard. At FLYERALARM, we offer premium finishing options that add texture, shine, and a touch of luxury. The right combination of material and finish ensures your postcard doesn't just get noticed — it gets remembered.
- Black Card with Gold Hot Foil Finish
Striking and sophisticated, this pairing commands attention. The shimmering gold foil against deep black card stock creates a bold, luxurious look — perfect for high-end promotions or invitations.
- Coated Paper with Soft-Touch Lamination
Want a design that feels as good as it looks? Soft-touch lamination gives your postcards a smooth, velvety texture that’s irresistible to the touch — adding a tactile quality that makes a lasting impression.
- Coated Paper with Marble or Wood Texture
Bring a unique aesthetic to your design with marble or wood textures printed on coated paper. These distinctive finishes give your postcards a natural, stylish edge that stands out from the ordinary.
Whether you're aiming for luxury, creativity, or simply a design that feels premium in hand — these combinations take your postcard printing to the next level.
