Optional Endorsement
Both Express Postcards and Pro Postcards offer the option to include a custom endorsement message.
- The endorsement can be added on the Return Address page while creating your postcard.
- The endorsement will appear on the address side of the postcard and can be reviewed on the proof page.
- Once you continue past the Return Address page, the endorsement cannot be changed or removed from that job.
- If you need to modify or remove the endorsement, you will need to restart the job and create a new postcard.
Be sure to review your endorsement carefully before continuing to the next step.

Image Quality Tip: For best results, use images with a resolution of at least 300 DPI (dots per inch) to ensure clarity and professionalism in your printed postcards.
