How are greeting cards printed?

· USA - 5 to 8 working days;

On which days do you post cards, and where from?
We print and post cards from Monday to Friday (unless there is a Public Holiday). The cards are printed and posted from our printing facilities in the USA, UK, Germany or Australia (depending on where the cards are being sent) and are always posted using 1st class mail.
Can I track my card?
It is not possible for us to track the cards after they have been posted. If your card hasn’t arrived within the expected time frame, please check that the address was correct and please get in touch with us.
Are my cards being placed in envelopes before they are sent?
If you ordered a greeting card, yes. It will be sent in a premium, ivory envelope. We send postcards in the traditional way: photo on the front, message and address on the back, and with no envelope.
Where can I send cards?
You can send Touchnote postcards to any country with a functioning postal system.
What do I do if my card hasn’t shown up within the expected time?
Get in touch and tell us the order number of your missing card. We will confirm the date your card was posted and if it hasn’t arrived within the expected time frames we will resend it for you, free of charge (of course).
What are credits and where can I get them from?
Credits are used to purchase Touchnote cards. A postcard = 1 credit, and a greeting card = 2 credits.
You can buy credits through your app or at www.touchnote.com/credits.
If you just want to send one or a small number of cards, you can pay for these credits only after making your card.
Can my card be anonymous?
It’s up to you. Your name will only be included on your card if you add it. We will not automatically include your name or address on any part of the card. If you are using the Touchnote app to send a postcard, you can choose to include a map showing where you are sending from. Again, this is up to you to add.
If you have plans to become someone’s secret admirer (please, no stalkers), go for it and send an anonymous card.
Do my photos have to be a certain size?
Yes they do. Photos should be at least 432 x 306 pixels in order to be of good enough quality to make a card. If your image is smaller than this it will look grainy on the printed card.
If you click on your photo and select properties you can see the resolution. Once you have uploaded your photo you can resize and rotate it. This means you can use both portrait or landscape photos. Have fun!!
To ensure we print at out maximun resolution (300dpi), we recommend that you use photos of at least the pixel sizes listed below.
What size are the postcards?
14.8cm x 10.8cm, or 5.83 inches x 4.25 inches, including a white border. Pixel size is 1629 x 1161.
What size are the greeting cards?
15cm x 10.8cm, or 5.91 inches x 4.25 inches. Pixel size is 1819 x 1335.
Can I get text printed in other languages with non-Latin characters?
We support all languages that flow from left to right.
Unfortunately we don’t currently support languages such as Arabic, Hebrew and Urdu.
Does Touchnote retain any rights to the photos that I upload?
We do not. Your photos belong to you. We store them in your account so that they are easy to be re-ordered, but only you will be able to re-order these images. Your photos are safe with us!
What happens if I share my postcard on Facebook?
When you send a card, and are signed in to Touchnote using Facebook, you can choose to share the image from your postcard on Facebook. If you do so, we'll publish your card on your Facebook wall with the name of the person you're sending it to. Your friends get to see your lovely postcard.
