Design upload & print specs
As an alternative to Postcard Studio, you can upload a finished print file. The same format-specific print requirements apply as in the Studio: correct format, bleed and a free address zone. Two-sided formats require a front and back file, while one-sided formats require only the front.
Design upload is the alternative to Postcard Studio: you upload a finished print file instead of designing in the editor.
Print specifications your file must meet:
- Match the selected format (dimensions and aspect ratio).
- Include the required bleed for edge-to-edge printing.
- Keep the address zone free so PostPal can print the recipient address.
One-sided vs. two-sided:
- Two-sided formats require a front and back file.
- One-sided formats accept only the front side.
The same format-specific rules apply as in the Studio. PostPal checks the file against the selected format's requirements.
