Choose between "Own artwork (PDF, JPEG, TIFF)" and "Design online with firstdesign". If you choose the option "Own artwork (PDF, JPEG, TIFF)", please send us your finished print files via email or upload. Please choose "Design online with firstdesign" if you want to work on designs provided by us online.

The number of pages within the bound product.

Please send us a 1 page of your artwork.

Please note that the cover flap of a 6-page cover has to be 2 mm narrower.

Your final format entry should always refer to the final finished product - i.e., processed (folded or bound), as the case may be.

It would be incorrect to choose a format in flat form, i.e. unfolded (laid flat).

When creating your artwork, please make sure that you allow 2mm bleed on each side that needs trimming and please also send us a 1 page of your artwork.

Our postcards are exclusively printed on wood free, white and double varnished branded paper, which - depending on the machine processing - can be refined with dispersion varnish. Our 350 gsm natural premium offset paper is plain white and unvarnished (writable). The chromoboard for our postcards is entirely matt and writable on the back side.

In accordance to CMYK or Pantone. We print with high-tech-CTP using top-quality offset printing.

As with "Finished size Folded" and "1 or 2 pages", please observe the correct definitions here too.

Example:
Flyer, DL, 6 pages. The correct selection reads: Trimming, folding.

It would be wrong to select 210 x 297 mm (A4), 2 pages because this defines an open format and would not result in the calculation you want.

Have the outside of the cover refined and protected by a high-quality, glossy or matt, cellopahe coating (= laminating).

Creasing/Perforation

Enter the number of groove lines and perforation lines here.

Please note that even with a creasing or perforation line, cracking of the spine could occur.

Just order your soft proof right here.

• Please consider that the respective proof can be ordered only once (original order).
• In case you will make modifications after the receipt of the proof, a second order/delivery of a proof is not possible, it is merely a check for the layout, not the colour. To check both please choose a paper proof.

Calculate the quantity you desire.
