Setup, Compatibility & Care

No complex setup is required; the postcards are ready to use out of the box. They are compatible with standard international and domestic mail regulations, requiring standard postage stamps for mailing within their home region. To maintain the quality of the cardstock, store the postcards in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. If mailing, it is recommended to use a permanent fine-liner or ballpoint pen to avoid smudging the matte or gloss finish on the card surface.
