How to Send Postcards

Sending postcards is still one of the most personal ways to stay in touch. Today, you can choose between traditional printed cards, online print-and-mail services, and augmented reality postcards that play a personal video in the mobile browser.

Step 1: Choose the postcard type

  • Traditional postcard: simple and familiar, but static.
  • Online print-and-mail: convenient for sending at scale.
  • AR video postcard: printed keepsake plus living image playback from a phone browser.

Step 2: Write a complete address

Use a full recipient name, street and number, postal code, city, and country. Incomplete address details are a common reason postcards are delayed or returned.

Step 3: Compare delivery time and total cost

The cheapest postcard option is not always the best value. Consider print quality, delivery reliability, and message impact. If the goal is a memorable delivery, video-enabled postcards can provide stronger emotional value with a modest price difference.

Step 4: Send and keep support details

After checkout, keep your order confirmation and support contact details in case you need to update an address quickly or report a print issue.
