What it is

You can personalize a professionally designed template, begin with a basic template, or upload print-ready artwork. Listed sizes include 4″ × 4″, 4″ × 6″, 4.2″ × 5.5″, 5″ × 7″, 5.5″ × 8.5″, 6″ × 6″, 6″ × 9″, and 6″ × 11″. Stock choices include glossy, matte, recycled, soft touch, uncoated, linen, pearl, bamboo, hemp-blend, cotton, kraft, and natural textured materials, plus foil and embossed finishes.

Purchased lists cover 100 to 20,000 potential customers, remain reusable for one calendar year, and are not viewable for privacy; uploaded lists do not expire. QR codes with personalized URLs can track engagement. Uploaded designs should be at least 300 DPI, with JPG, PNG, SVG, PDF, PSD, AI, EPS, PPT, and TIFF supported.
