Holiday cards don’t all need the same lead time.

A finished design on standard stock is one project. A photo card with specialty paper, foil, printed envelopes and a mailing list that still needs work is another.

Before setting your order date, look at what still needs to happen: design, proofing, printing, addressing, assembly and mailing. Every extra step needs its own place in the schedule.

Not sure how much time your project needs? The full timeline breaks down what to plan for based on the week you want your cards to arrive. https://www.postnet.com/blog/holiday-cards-planning-printing-mailing-timeline/

Your window is already doing the work. It may as well say something.

A storefront window works every hour and reaches people who may not have been looking for you.

Holiday window graphics can carry a seasonal message, your hours, a promotion or simply the fact that you are open during the stretch when people assume half the block is not.

They come down as easily as they go up, which is the point. A window graphic is seasonal by design.

Two things worth deciding before you print: what the message needs to say from across the sidewalk, and how much glass you are willing to give up.

Bring us the window measurements and we will make the design for you.

There is no single order-by date for holiday cards.

There is a sequence, and it runs backward.

Start with the day you want the card in someone's hands. Then work back through mailing, addressing and assembly, printing, proof approval, and design. Each step borrows time from the one before it.

That is why two projects placed the same week can need completely different schedules. A finished design on a standard stock is not the same project as a photo card on linen with foil.

Not sure when to start? The full timeline helps you work backward from the week you want your cards to arrive: https://www.postnet.com/blog/holiday-cards-planning-printing-mailing-timeline/

The most important thing at your fundraiser might be the paddle numbers.

Great programs set the tone. But it’s the less glamorous pieces that keep the night running:

📖 Programs guests reference all night
🪧 Table numbers, signs + directions
🔢 Paddle numbers, item cards + bid sheets
🎪 Event banners that make it into every photo
💌 Donor thank-you cards ready to send after the event

And when the auction ends? Those items still need to reach their winners. Framed art, glassware, gift baskets and more, packed properly and shipped with care.

Fall is full of community events, and they run on the details nobody notices until they’re missing.

Save this checklist now. Thank yourself when someone asks where the bid sheets are.

Fall fundraiser season is starting, and most of what an event needs is printed, packed, or both.

On the print side: paddle numbers, table signs, programs, donor thank-you cards, and a banner that shows up in every photo taken that night.

On the shipping side: auction items that have to reach the winner in one piece. Framed art, glassware, signed memorabilia, gift baskets — packed properly and quoted across carriers.

Running a gala, auction or school event this fall? Give us a call, and we’ll help organize the print and shipping pieces around your timeline.

December shipping is decided in September.

Four things worth settling now:

Which carrier suits your actual mix of weights and destinations — UPS, FedEx, DHL* and USPS each win on different lanes.

Whether your packaging is costing you in dimensional weight, on every order, all quarter.

Your own cutoff dates, set earlier than the carrier's and published to customers now.

Who packs the fragile and high-value items.

None of it is urgent in September. That's exactly why September is when it gets done.

Tell us what you ship and we'll walk the options with you.

Week one of a new business tends to go the same way.

The sign isn't up. The cards are ordered. And someone asks for a brochure that doesn't exist yet.

Ordering the kit in one pass fixes most of it — cards, brochure, flyers, banner, window graphics, folders, thank-you cards. Less back-and-forth, and everything matches because it was designed together.

Fall market season is here, and signage is what separates a booth from a table.

It works before you can. People decide whether to walk over from fifteen feet away, while you're mid-conversation with someone else.

Five pieces cover it: a retractable banner behind you, a poster on an easel with what you sell, a table sign with your name, cards at the front edge of the table, and a small QR sign for your online store.

Vendor fairs, farmers markets, trade shows, school nights — same kit, and it travels between all of them.

Tell us what you're setting up and we'll size the kit to your table.

A new business gets judged on its materials before anyone has used the product.

Ten pieces cover it: business cards, brochures, flyers, postcards, banners, yard signs, window graphics, presentation folders, business forms and thank-you cards.

Ordered together, all ten match. Ordered one at a time as each need appears, they usually don't.

A thin white line along the edge of a printed piece has one cause, and it isn't the printer.

It's artwork that stops exactly at the trim line. Commercial cutting is accurate but not perfect to the thousandth, so a hair of variation leaves a sliver of white showing.

An eighth of an inch of extra artwork past the trim absorbs it completely.

Two minutes in the file. Or a reprint after.

Prevent the thin white edge before your file reaches production. See how bleed works in our latest blog: https://www.postnet.com/blog/what-is-a-bleed-in-printing/

Travel season is here. A short list of things people don’t realize we handle, in one stop, before you head out:

Passport photos — in under five minutes, no appointment.
Document copies — lease, insurance, license, prescription. Print + digital backups.
Mailbox — we’ll hold your mail and packages while you’re away.
Notary — power of attorney for the house-sitter, or any rental contract you need before you go.
Ship-ahead — send heavy or fragile items to your destination so you don’t fly with them.



Got a trip on the calendar? Stop in — we’ll knock out the prep list together.

A quiet stat from the counter — a sample of what came across our desk on one Tuesday last week:

— A passport photo for a kid's first family trip
— A notary stamp on a real-estate closing
— A first round of business cards for a freelance designer
— A mailbox rental for someone who'd just moved
— A box of printed wedding programs

There's no checklist for "things to bring to PostNet." Just stop in. If it touches paper, packages, signatures, or print — we probably handle it.

A couple designed their wedding invitations online but had no idea where to print 80 on heavyweight cardstock and also address them, stamp them, and get them in the mail before within the week.

In one stop: printed, addressed (machine-printed addressing or hand-addressing — they chose machine-printed), stuffed, sealed, stamped, and dropped them in outbound mail. Big to-do, done. RSVPs started coming back the next week.

Got a wedding, graduation, or shower coming up? Stop in — we’ll handle the print + mail in one stop.

Things people don’t realize we handle, right at the counter:

Notary services — leases, real-estate paperwork, power of attorney, school forms.

Passport photos — State Department compliant, printed on the spot, no appointment needed.

Design services — From logo design and effective print marketing, to table signage design, menu printing, and more.

Mailbox rentals — a real street address for travelers, home-based work, or extra privacy.

Stop in and ask about any of these. We are here to help you.

If you ship anything — a gift, a return, a care package, an Etsy order — you’ve probably had this thought: “I think I’m using the wrong carrier for this.”

The honest answer is usually yes. Most people stick with whichever carrier they started with, even when a different one would be cheaper or faster for what they’re actually shipping today.

We wrote a neutral guide on when each of the four actually wins. No carrier loyalty, no spin. Read it before your next shipment — link below.

Mother’s Day is Sunday, and yes — you still have time.
We can help you pull this together today: a real greeting card, packaging that protects whatever’s inside, and a shipping option across UPS, FedEx, or USPS that actually arrives by Saturday.

No judgment on the timing. The best gifts are the ones that get there.

Are you waiting until Friday? Probably not. But let's just say you do.

Let's set the stage. It's the Friday before Mother's Day. You’ve just finishing designing a Mother’s Day card online, you’ve selected a family photo to print, and you have roughly one afternoon to get them in front of your mom — across the country.

We'll print the card, frame the photo, pack both with cushioning that'll survive transit, and quote the shipment across UPS, FedEx, and USPS — picking the carrier that actually hits Friday delivery for that ZIP.

No judgment on the timing. The best Mother's Day gifts are the ones that get there.

Stop in this week — we'll handle the printing, the framing, and the shipping in one stop.

If you’re in the middle of activating for National Small Business Week — a launch, an event, a campaign, a shipment that has to get there — stop in. We can help.

You don’t need 5 vendors.
You need one that actually gets it done.

This morning at PostNet looked like:
• printing a stack of flyers for a last-minute promo
• shipping orders to customers across the country
• picking up branded packaging for the next launch

All before lunch.

Less running around. More running your business.

That’s how small businesses stay moving.
