Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Brown Kraft Postcards different from regular postcards?
Brown Kraft Postcards use thick, naturally colored kraft cardstock instead of traditional white paper. The visible fibers, subtle flecks, and warm brown surface give them a rustic appearance.

Will my printed colors look different on brown kraft paper?
Yes. The brown cardstock influences how printed colors appear, particularly lighter shades. White ink can be used beneath selected areas to help colors appear brighter and more distinct.

What is the purpose of white ink?
White ink creates contrast on the brown paper. It can be used for white lettering and graphics or printed beneath other colors to help those areas stand out.

Are Brown Kraft Postcards made from recycled material?
Yes. The 18pt kraft stock is made from 100% recycled material.

Can I print on both sides?
Yes. Full-color printing is available on the front only or on both sides, with optional white ink configurations.
