Are you in the need for some stickers, for your career or just for fun? 1800Postcards.com is offering you the opportunity to win 300 custom stickers!

1800Postcards.com is the retail branch of Circle Press, a high-end commercial printing firm with a roster of Fortune 100 clients that includes Dior, Tiffany, Disney, American Express and most of the world’s leading brands. These companies demand nothing but the best in quality. To be specific, a quality standard called “G7,” which is only granted to printing firms that meet a very strict set of best practices and production quality. These clients sit with pre-press, have color proofs printed for spot color matching, they come in when the job is printed to make color adjustments and watch it run on the press to see the final results, the whole nine yards. They also pay tens of thousands of dollars for this type of service level.

1800Postcards produces your print work in the same facilities, with the same press-men and production staff, and adheres to the same quality standards as high-end commercial jobs. The only difference is that your job is “gang printed” or run together with other 1800Postcard clients, which is the secret of every online printing company and why they can be so cheap in pricing. However, 1800Postcards.com just brought it up to an almost unreasonable level of quality

But what if you don’t need postcards? Well they’re capable of more than just postcard printing. They offer brochures, business cards, flyers, posters, banners, postcards and pretty much any custom work your creative mind can imagine.

Bottom line, the print results are unbelievable… no one in the online printing space comes even close to this quality and attention to detail. You can see it yourself by requesting free samples @ http://www.1800postcards.com/brochure_request.aspx

Postcards often get a bad rap in the design field. When you mention postcard printing to a designer, it often conjures up memories of cliche, vintage styled postcards that, while collectible, exhibit few principles of modern design.

However, although the postcard may seem like an outdated format, postcard design can still be as modern and elegant as the newest design styles. In this post you’ll find beautiful examples of stylish and modern postcard designs.

Flyers are still one of the best promotional methods available. You can use digital flyers, or do flyer printing and have them distributed around cities, and get massive traffic and exposure to the community both offline and online.

However, flyer design requires some specific skills, such as drawing the viewer’s attention and communicating information in an effective, succinct and pithy format. Since this can be a difficult skill to master, it helps to have flyer templates to use for your promotional purposes.

Here’s the best flyer templates on Graphicriver that will save you time and energy when doing your own flyer marketing.

Creating a custom web template or WordPress theme can be a colossal hassle. Not only do you have to find a good designer, you also have to find a developer. The project will probably take a few months, and in the end, you aren’t even guaranteed the result you want (well, unless you hire me of course).

As a new technology or hosting company, the last thing you need is extra stress, and you probably want to get up and running and serving your clients. One of the great things about the internet is that you can find high quality themes for very low prices, and easily modify them into your own site.

In this post, you’ll find a selection of the best professional technology templates and themes that a tiny bit of money can buy.

QR codes are a trendy way of communicating information. A QR code is a more advanced version of a bar code, and allows for information to be embedded in it, and then placed on an object such as business cards. People can extract the information using a reader on their cell phone or mobile device, and get the information. QR codes are highly popular as ways of communicating contact information or driving directions, but can hold a lot of different information due to their versatility.

Integrating a QR code into a business card is a great alternative way to display contact information. It engages the recipient of the business card, and the designs can also look quite cool.

Check out these creative examples of QR code business cards.

Black is a great color for design. Aside from the sharp contrast it can give to other colors (especially white), black also comes across as sleek or elegant, and is a great base color on which to design. Black has a slimming effect when worn as a color, and plays a crucial role in web design (often for text or as a background). However, too much black can be overwhelming and strain the eyes when used in design.

When used in business card printing, black can provide either an element of sleek and sheer style, or a refined and elegant feel, or if textures are used, black can also provide a grungier feel.

Check out these great examples of black (and very dark gray) business cards.

White is a tricky color to use in design. Most people view white as a boring or plain color, but when used properly, it can be elegant, refined and also pleasing to the eye. In web design, white is one of the most commonly used colors, and the same holds true for business card printing.

When designing a white business card, it’s important to focus on all the principles of design so the card does not end up looking plain or boring. Using effects such as letterpress can enhance the beauty of a white business card as well.
