What's Happening in Linbro - Marlboro, Gauteng…

A plainly printed postcard will be tossed out with the trash soon after it’s received. It also doesn’t exactly give a good impression of you or your company. But a postcard that’s fun, creative and interesting is one that your receiver will hold onto for years to come and most probably show to other people, scoring you huge brownie points.

Here are some great ideas to get your creative juices flowing:

-       Using old photographs. Scan in an old photograph, maybe from your own collection and incorporate it into the printed postcard design. This will add a touch of vintage flair to a postcard and a bit of history. A picture of old buildings with a bit of info on the building on the back of the card is also something that will grab attention.

-       Paper craft designs. Print the cut-out pattern for a bit of paper craft onto the postcard. That way after it has been read, it can be made into a funky character that represents your company.

-       Recipes with a picture to go with it. Perhaps you’re a catering company or work in the restaurant business? Have one of your signature (and not so secret) recipes printed on the postcard with a beautiful photo of the finished dish. People will hold onto it in their recipe files and think of you every time they make the dish.

-       Old style 3D designs. Use the overlapping green and red of old-fashioned 3D pictures and you’ve got a fun, funky postcard that will be passed around and shared. People will be curious and anxious to see the design pop out of the image.

-       Creative designs. Architecture’s Plans or drawings are perfect for a postcard design for the opening of a building or an invitation for a housewarming.

-       A hand-drawn illustration of a map to an event. If your printed postcard is an invitation, why not have a skilled illustrator do a map to the location for the event. It’s something different and not only will recipients find it great to look at, but they’ll also find it very useful.

These are just some of the endless possibilities of the things you can do with your printed Postcards. Once the design is done, head over to Minuteman Press for quality postcard printing in Marlboro.
