Great product, awful delivery

Never have any issues with vistaprints products. Always well made and good quality, my issue is with delivery/packaging. Not sure at what point it happened by my parcel arrived completely opened and with someone’s rubbish inside it - it was photographed opened on my doorstep by the carrier which I just think is pretty poor.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
We are glad to hear that you continue to be happy with the quality of our postcards and our products overall. Yet, we’re very sorry to learn about the condition in which your parcel arrived and understand how concerning it must have been to receive a package that was already opened and containing unrelated items. This certainly isn’t the experience we want for our customers, and we regret the inconvenience and disappointment this situation has caused. To help us investigate this matter urgently and provide further assistance, please reply to this email with clear photos of the received package, including the opened parcel and any issues you noticed. Once we receive the images, we will be able to escalate the case for inquiry with the delivery carrier and work toward an appropriate resolution for you. We appreciate your cooperation and thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. If your request is urgent and you need an immediate solution, please reach out to our Customer Support team via 0800 028 6962.

Frequently asked questions

Spot UV printing is a technique used to add a raised, three-dimensional effect to specific lettering and images on paper. This process creates eye-catching designs, allowing you to choose which elements stand out, particularly with our embossed postcards.

Yes, the type of printing we use is also known as embossed gloss.

You can use this finish on up to 25% of the front of your postcard. The only thing to keep in mind regarding where you add spot UV is that it should be within the printing safety margin (shown as a dotted line in our design studio).

For templates, the embossed areas are predefined and can't be altered. If you upload your personal design, you gain flexibility in being able to select the raised elements. This can be accomplished using our design studio or by providing detailed directions to our team. Please note that template-based design elements will retain their finish. Adding a finish won't be possible if you include your logo or other elements in a template. However, you do have the ability to remove finishes from text fields.

Standard corners tend to give postcards a more traditional look – the clean, 90-degree cuts feel classic and elegant and they’re a great option for street marketing or direct mail campaigns. Our rounded corners typically pair well with postcard designs that feel more modern or softer in style – and they’re a good option for package inserts.

Yes. After you’ve made your initial choices – size, paper and quantity – you’ll be able to upload your finished design. We accept the following file formats: .pdf, .ai, .jpeg, .png, .doc and .ppt.

Our glossy and matte papers are coated on both sides, while our natural, uncoated paper is not. You can write on any of these paper stocks, but we recommend our natural uncoated option for the best effect.

The beauty of a well-designed postcard is that you can use it in a wide variety of ways. Some popular approaches include bag inserts, vouchers, street marketing handouts and more.

Yes – here are a few things to keep in mind when you design.

  • Keep your design simple. Always remember that postcards are small, so a lot of complicated information can overwhelm its recipient. Identify the top few things you want a customer to know and then focus on those points. Including a strong call to action – a website URL, phone number or address – gives people a way to learn more once they’ve become interested in what you have to say.
  • Stand out with photography or a logo. Odds are good that your postcard will be competing for attention with other promotional pieces – in a letterbox, on a notice board or even in your business. Bold colours, a high-quality image or your logo can help your postcard get noticed.
  • Create a consistent look. It’s easy to use your font choice, logo and colours to create a matching business look across other marketing products, like business cards, signage and more. With a few matching products, you’ll be well on your way to establishing a recognisable, professional brand.
