Postcards! by RedBubble

Posted on March 16, 2010

Hello Postcards!

That’s right – yesterday back printing on t-shirts, today postcards, later this week hoodies. There’s a bit going on at the moment!

Postcards have been the most requested new product and I’m pleased to announced that they’ve arrived. RedBubble postcards are 4×6 inches and printed on a thick card stock. Just as with the greeting cards they’re available with pricing breaks at 4, 8 and 16 (40% off if you buy 16). So if you buy 16 or more postcards the base price per card is AUD1.01 (inc GST), USD0.96, GBP0.59 (inc VAT), EUR0.78 (inc 19% VAT) and CAD0.96 (exc GST).

Stay tuned for the next instalment …

Peter

P.S. The new postcards can be found under the ‘card’ icon during the checkout process, and on the back of the card we print the artist’s name, work title and a link to the artist’s profile.

    Are the postcards going to be printed by the same company as the cards??
    I received cards the other day, and I’m sorry to say, the quality was quite bad, blacks were grey and they do not look anywhere as beautiful as they are shown in RB :(

  • RedBubble:

    They’re printed with the same technology as the calendar and greeting cards – there were some initial teething problems with the greeting cards but all issues have now been solved so I’m very confident that the postcards will be excellent. If there were any problems with your greeting cards please get in touch with the customer service team and we’ll organise replacements.

  • WendyJC

    WendyJC

    postcards sounds grand!!! ..
    i am guessing we will incorporate the name of the place on them as desired…
    also wondered if instead of the image purchased being on the back of a card with the name of artist, how about the artist pic … ?

  • RedBubble:

    The work name and artist name appear on the back of the card.

  • Paul Louis Villani

    Paul Louis Vil...

    You guys are just fantastic! :D
    I can only imagine what’s going to be next?
    Perhaps one of those pens with liquid at the top and a picture of Mr. Baxter… when the pen is held upright his pants stay on, when you hold the pen upside down his red pants just fall off!! ;p
    Peace!

  • RedBubble:

    Who’d want to see that!

  • RedBubble:

    WOAH.

  • Bree Lucas

    Bree Lucas

    OMG that’s so exciting! A couple of months ago, after a lot of wading through the internet jungle, I came across a site that allowed me to fairly cheaply create and order my own postcards. However I reckon it would be fair to say that yours will be better quality. I can’t wait to get some!

    Can you please tell me if there’s any information on the back, like the title and artist’s name?

  • RedBubble:

    Yep – all the relevant info is on the back of the cards.

  • Nancy  Vice

    Are the postcards produced by the same mob that makes the new cards?

  • RedBubble:

    Yes – and all the teething issues with greeting cards have been solved so we’re very confident that all will go well with the postcards.

    Thanks Peter, will do, but I only received mine last week, so does that mean the teething probs were sorted just recently within that time frame??

  • RedBubble:

    Can you e-mail me at pstyles@redbubble.com with the order number and I’ll follow up.

  • Vickie Emms

    Vickie Emms

    my order for 8 cards isn’t near as nice as the old style paper. I am disappointed too. I will likely try out the postcards though, always game for something new

  • RedBubble:

    It’s a different product – and that has enabled us to reduce the price (and sales have gone up as a result). The technology for printing is the same as we’ve used for calendars – which people have been very happy with. So the issue here is ensuring that we compare apples with apples – our current greeting card product is now much more like a standard greeting card (printed on card not photographic paper).

  • Kevin McGennan

    Kevin McGennan

    The postcards are a great idea. Just one thing: if the artist’s name, work title and a link to the artist’s profile are on the back of the postcards, is it possible to put the same information on the back of the greeting cards?

  • RedBubble:

    They’re on the greeting cards as well.

    i think there is a problem card price for me is showing the 5×7 $1.90 as cheaper than the 6X4 $2.10!!!!!
    do I get any prizes for spotting this????

  • RedBubble:

    Have you got more that four 5×7.5 cards in your card – you may be getting a bulk discount on these cards?

  • adgray

    SUPERB!!!

  • SusanAdey

    SusanAdey

    Sounds great. I will definitely order some and if I like them I plan to order in bulk. Is there room to negotiate the price for larger orders, eg 100 or more postcards?

  • Rick Grundy

    Rick Grundy

    @Picketty: The most likely explanation there is that you already have some 5×7.5″ cards in your shopping cart and are seeing the discounted price for these. Is that possible?

    This may be the cheeper option to help a lot of artist shift some of their work that wouldn’t otherwise sell as more expensive items. Great work RB :)

  • picketty

    no i did a trial order for one card (folded card) and it is going to charge me $2.10 for the 6X4 and only $1.90 for the 5X7.

    Saaaaweeeeeeeeet!! Is there a way you guys could work on a catergorizing system for our products too. For instance, holiday/special occasions for shirts such as a st. patrick’s day and mother’s day? It would be so much easier for a customer to find what they want on our profiles. BTW, great job you guys!!!

    woohoo….have been waiting for this for ages!!! Well done guys….I do have one question tho….you say artists name, work title and link is printed on the back….is it possible in the future to put “description” on as well….to make it a lot more like a true postcard??? Just a thought!! You guys rock!! :-)

  • RedBubble:

    There’s often too many words in the description … and we do want to leave some room on the post card for people to write …

    The product train seems to be on full speed. Good work.

    One tiny point. My prices are in Euro and all other products show up in millimeters. Cards show up only in inches. A specification of size in millimeters even in the Description of the cards would be helpful IMO.

    AND… I am interested in POSTCARDS… for me this will be the perfect way to collect work from my favorite Red Bubble artists and friends… way better than merely favoring their work!!!
    I have a wall in my office I intend to cover with RB postcards… all the great art that I want… without having to buy a whole gallery building to store and show it in.
    Thank you RB!!! ;-))))

    question please because I am very interested……I shoot mostly square – besides the obvious square accommodation of the shot in the front – does the back remain landscape in 4 X 6 and will one see the photograph center square in landscape as well or (for lack of better words) 6 X 4?

    some of the folding was a little off on my first order of the new greeting cards…has this been looked at? the colours seemed fine compared with the same thing printed the old way, though I have one outlet that still prefers the old style so I hope they will remain available.
    I’m a little confused by how much the artist receives from a sale….if the discounted postcard base price is $1.01 Aus then the markup I receive from the sale is still $1.01 for a 100% markup? this might all be beyond my small brain…I sold a new card recently and really couldn’t work it out

  • RedBubble:

    Absolutely – did you have the order re-done? The markup is always a percentage above the base price – so it could be 20% on top of $1.68 or 20% on top of $1.01

    Great stuff!

    One issue I’ve noticed is that the “about cards” text shown on bubblesites is now outdated. It says

    Greeting Cards are printed on our Durst Theta and bonded to high quality 200gsm card for the best internal writing surface, then creased and packed with an envelope. They come ready to write on, give away or just admire.

    However, when viewing cards through the redbubble site itself, there’s a much more detailed description of greeting cards and a separate description for postcards.

  • RedBubble:

    The BubbleSite needs a major overhaul. We’ve taken the decision that rather than invest time keeping it up to date with all the changes we’ll invest our time in a major overhaul that will have much broader benefit. So for a few more weeks there’s going to be a few things out of sync.

  • prbimages

    Great! But I would like to know how the “bleed” works. With a greeting card in portrait format, it gets trimmed at the top, bottom, and right hand side (i.e. the spine of the card does not bleed). However, your preview for the postcard shows that it gets trimmed at the top, bottom, and LEFT hand side. Is that what we should expect? I like to produce cards that are precisely centered, but this will be difficult if the products are trimmed differently.

  • RedBubble:

    You’re correct. We’re bleeding from the center out on the postcards, so there will be a small amount of trim on all 4 sides. The preview you see is what you’ll get.

    Great idea for helping to promote work. Just wondering if the bulk prices listed are an introductory special price or will they always remain?

  • ourjrny

    ourjrny

    Aloha, I am so happy to know the postcards are available at last. However I feel they are the base is overpriced. There are postcards available for so much less, and if I mark up at all, they become too expensive for a postcard. I have another important concern, as I ordered a greeting card a couple of weeks ago, and when I received it, the card was well packaged, however the saturated colour appears to bleed and has visible streaks. So I am disappointed with the poor quality. I also am quite livid that the printing company actually printed my private cell phone number on the outside address label for the entire world to see. What are they thinking? Can you please contact them and tell them not to do this? My private cell phone number is confidential information. Mahalo nui, thank you so much.

    Great news – postcards, if cheap enough, can be used as business cards “with a difference” !!! However … will hold judgement till I see the quality. The ‘greeting’ cards have been disappointing so far …

    WoooooooHooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    If they’re of the same quality as the greeting cards I received recently… it’s all good!!! :D

    About Sharon Mau’s comment “I also am quite livid that the printing company actually printed my private cell phone number on the outside address label for the entire world to see. What are they thinking? Can you please contact them and tell them not to do this? My private cell phone number is confidential information.
    Sharon is absolutely right. It was the same for me when I received the greeting cards… the package had traveled all the way from Australia to Sweden with my number on it… NOT GOOD!!!

    This on the other hand is GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!

    Thanks RB team for all your hard work and all the hours you guys put into this place.

    Continuing my previous question about the “bleed”: I wrote “However, your preview for the postcard shows that it gets trimmed at the top, bottom, and LEFT hand side.” RedBubble wrote “You’re correct. We’re bleeding from the center out on the postcards, so there will be a small amount of trim on all 4 sides. The preview you see is what you’ll get.” However, my preview shows trimming on the top, bottom, and LEFT side, NOT “all 4 sides”. Either way, it is unfortunate that greeting cards and postcards are trimmed differently. It makes it impossible to create a perfectly centered card image.

  • Lenka

    Good news :)

  • prbimages

    prbimages

    See Lenka’s preview above? The top of the card is trimmed more than the bottom, so the image is slightly off-center. The bleed is NOT equal on all sides. Conversely, on a greeting card, the bottom is trimmed and the top is not, so the image is off-center but in the opposite direction. At least if the trimming was consistent we could make allowance for it, but since it is different for different products there is nothing we can do to create a properly centered image :-(

  • Rick Grundy

    @prbimages: Good eyes! You’re right, there’s a slight error in the postcard preview – Lenka’s image above will of course bleed equally on all sides. We’ll update the preview today.

  • Jane Best

    Jane Best

    THis is great news! Thanks!
    When I purchase or receive a post card, I like to see a little bit of descriptive info. on the message side. I am reading here that this info. will be the title of the work and the artist’s name. WHen I am purchasing or recieving a post card, I want to see a brief description describing where it is and/or what it is. I believe if you give us an opportunity to write a post card description of maybe 30 words or less, this would be a big plus.
    As it is now, it looks like if I want to provide more specific or description info re the work, I may need to rewrite some of the titles of my photos.
    Earlier I asked about the possibility of including more detailed descriptions than just titles on calendars. I would like to suggest that again as well.

  • Brenda Anderson

    Brenda Anderson

    If I have an image that is square (eg, 2800×2800 pixels), how can I tell RB that the image should be placed horizontally on the card? I want a postcard that is horizontal but the preview is always vertical. Do I need to reupload the image with it slightly longer on the horizontal edge in order to do that?

    owlspook

    I have been so looking forward to postcards! thank you! … however and I say this with a sigh, grouping them with the greeting cards has become a huge problem for many of us … if one designs for the card and it’s trimming requirements then the postcard is off center and visa versa … if I had a wish that could come true I’d wish that the postcards were a separate option as the different kinds of prints … the group I host, Creative Cards has been through a lot .. learning how to precisely design with the trimming process in mind, then the big format change and now the postcard problem … we may be a small group but we take pride in our work .. to design for a card then have a postcard that doesn’t look good .. well it’s disheartening .. now mind you we love postcards but just wish they didn’t have to be grouped with cards

    George Row

    The Post Cards look goo … I am planning to print a few … However here are a couple of thoughts:
    a) it would be nice to have an out-sized 7″×5″ (125mmx175mm) Postcard
    b) it would be nice to be able to add some print to the reverse side … in fact leaving us the option to either print a single caption/promotional paragraph as would be suitable for a “normal” Post Card or to fill most of the “message” panel so as to produce a card that is to be used for promotional purposes – such as promoting an exhibition.

  • Ian Moses

    Dear Redbubble can let me know what would the cost be to print 200 postcards. I am preparing a thank you card for 200 guests for a wedding. The post cards will be one of two designs, 1) one design with a blank space to write the guests names, or 2) different cards with the 200 names of each guest each card. I look forward to your email. Could you bubblemail me please.
    Regards Ian Moses
