Pure Postcards' Art Department operates
on a MAC based platform. To ensure
that your art
submissions can be processed in a
smooth and timely manner, please read
and follow the
artwork specifications as described
below. If you are outsourcing your
design work to a
graphics house, agency, or freelance
artist, please make sure that they
have a copy of these
specifications before they begin working
on your design.
All postcards are printed CMYK on the
front and back. All colors must be converted
to CMYK
prior to submission. Any alterations
that have to be made by our Design
Department will be
billed at an hourly rate of $60.00,
with a minimum charge of $25.00. There
will be a fee of
$25.00 if you have to submit your
artwork more than 2 times.
Note: All files must be 300dpi or
higher (anything less will produce
a blurry/fuzzy/pixelated
print and we cannot be held responsible
for low resolution pictures or logos,
etc.).When
submitting art in any format, please
ensure that the company name is included
in each file's
name and a file extension is appended
to the end of the file, (example-
yourfile.psd).
