Why we pick it
- Works with
Use it to print thank-you postcards and business cards to drop in each parcel. The UK site offers free economy delivery on orders over £40.
The guide
Each step in the order you'll need it.
Shops that put a card in the parcel
Order thank-you cards, postcards or business cards to drop in each parcel, and add labels to the same order.
If you sell on Etsy or run a handmade shop, a card with care instructions or a discount code can bring repeat orders.
On Vinted or eBay a card adds cost and buyers may not return to you by name, so test a small batch first.
Products and sizes to check
Postcards come in A6 (105 x 148 mm), A5, DL and square sizes.
You can also order stickers and labels. Return address labels put a printed sender label on every parcel.
Check paper weights and prices on the site before you order.
What to print on the card
Put one useful thing on the card: care instructions or a code for the next order.
Keep a stack next to your label printer so the card goes in as you pack.
Write the buyer's first name on a few cards for repeat customers; it takes a few seconds each.
A design tool, a sticker printer or stickers on a roll
If you want to design the card yourself, use a free design tool with templates and print at home or through the tool's print service.
If you only want logo stickers and no cards, order them from a sticker printer.
A roll of thank-you stickers usually costs less than printed cards, so start there for a cheaper test.
Proofread the code or URL before you approve the order: a wrong letter prints on every card.
Kit for this step
Getting the artwork right
Download the template for your chosen size and keep text inside the safe area, because the trim can cut text placed near the edge.
Set any code or URL in dark text on a light background. Pale grey on white is hard to read.
Common mistakes
Each one costs you money or reviews, and each has a fix.
- Fold A5 cards to fit small mailers, or choose A6.
- Under £40 you pay postage, so combine products in one order.
- Check colour in daylight on a small run before you order the full batch.
- Try the discount code in your shop before you print, or buyers who type it hit an error.
Questions
What size postcard fits in a mailing bag?
A6, at 105 x 148 mm, fits most mailing bags and small boxes flat.
Does Vistaprint offer free delivery in the UK?
The UK site lists free economy delivery on orders over £40. The threshold can change, so confirm it at checkout.
Can I print return address labels?
Yes. Vistaprint sells return address labels and sheet labels.
Is a thank-you card worth it on Vinted?
Vinted buyers may not return to a seller by name. Send cards in one small batch and watch your feedback.
Can I upload my own design?
Upload a finished file, or design from a template on the site.
How many cards should I order first?
Order enough for about a month of parcels. You can check feedback for mentions of the card and change the design without binning a big stack.
