Printed postcards, in the form we know them today, have been around for more than 150 years and have remained popular as a way of holidaymakers making their famillies and friends jealous about the great time away they are having on holiday…
The introduction of the postcard
The first postcards were printed by the official post offices in their respective countries. The postcards were very plain and just had a simple address section and a pre-paid stamp on them. It was not until 1894 that the first company received permission from Royal Mail in the UK to print and send postcards through the mail.
The evolution of printed postcards
The new era of postcards were printed through a UK printing service called Stewarts of Edinburgh and they featured famous landmarks, famous drawings and beautiful views. With transportation around the UK made easier with the growth of steam trains, people were heading to the seaside a lot more and postcards became a popular souvenir item for many visitors.
It was not until the early 1930s that comical postcards also became popular with cartoons donning the front pictures rather than pretty scenery. Printed postcards then changed into colourful expressions of humour often depicting sexual innuendos or laughing at something that would be constricted in today’s time as not ‘politically correct’. This type of postcard has now seen its day and they are seen largely as collector’s items.
Postcards today
Today’s postcards are used for all sorts of things and not just to let people know where you have been sunning yourself. Many companies use business printing services to advertise their products or services. Often when you enter a tourist information centre or hotel lobby you will find a rack of postcards that are all selling you something.
The Print Republic postcard printing service alows you to upload your art work online or get one of our team to design your postcard for you.

There are many things that you should ensure are included on your professional business cards and with such a small space to work on it is vital to keep your card simple and clear, whilst ensuring you get your message across. Here are a list of things people put on their business card. Some of them are necessary like contact details others are more unusual and just add a bit of character. You can pick and choose those which are right for you. You may decide to leave your postal address off if you are a web company, for example. If you are always out and about you may only have a mobile number and not a fixed land line.
Information you can put on your business card
- Your name
- Business Name
- Address
- Main office telephone number
- Direct line office number
- Mobile phone number
- Fax
- Email
- Website address
- Twitter username
- Facebook URL
- Linkedin URL
- Other social networking URLs
- Brief summary of services
- Logo
- Map
- Company slogan
- Discount code or coupon
- Wise saying
- Your picture
Premium business cards can be made from a matte finish, a glossy look, traditional shape and size or a more unusual shape. Some people choose to create business cards in the shape of something that represents their business such as a dog for a dog grooming service or a dumbbell for a gymnasium. Once you have included the basic information you can be as creative as you like. There is so much competition, staying out of the bin and in someone’s wallet is tricky.
For the ultimate in premium business cards you can include a variety of extras with some choosing to include gimmicks that represent the company such as a balloon inside a flap of the business card if you promote children’s parties or a packet of seeds if you run a garden centre. As well as gimmicks, some also choose to use colour, large or small text, double sided cards or unusual shapes to give their professional business cards an edge. You can play with the design as long as you have the basic contact information you can add what you like to make your business card stand out.
