Choose postcards & print mailers if your moment is campaign launch mailers and press drops, event invitations and save-the-dates or onboarding welcome notes and thank-you cards.
Campaign launch mailers and press drops
Pair a foiled A5 postcard with a soft-touch matte laminate and a hand-signed message card. Black-core triplex on a heavier stock is the one that gets photographed and reposted.
Event invitations and save-the-dates
DL format with hot-foil typography on 350gsm uncoated reads as considered without tipping into formal. Add a deboss for the hosting brand and a spot-UV for the date.
Onboarding welcome notes and thank-you cards
A6 seeded-paper cards that bloom into Australian native wildflowers carry the brand long after the first week. Pair with a handwritten note in the starter kit.
Retail and wholesale product inserts
Small-format square or DL cards with a QR to a campaign landing page. Recycled kraft stock with a one-colour print keeps unit cost down and feels on-brief for eco-minded labels.
Real estate, hospitality and concierge touchpoints
Heavyweight 450gsm duplex with edge-paint in the brand colour is the detail that makes a guest or buyer pause. Reorder quarterly with a rotating seasonal line of copy.
“Our launch mailers arrived a few days ahead of schedule, beautifully packed, and the foil register was flawless on every card. Three of our press list posted theirs on Instagram without being asked — which is the highest compliment.”
“The seeded-paper welcome cards have become the quiet stars of our onboarding kit. New starters photograph them, plant them, and mention them months later. The Sense2 team understood the brief beautifully from the first conversation.”
“We reorder our invitation suites with Sense2 every season — they remember our brand codes, suggest something fresh for each campaign, and the print quality is consistently exquisite.”

How to choose
Start with the moment, not the size. A postcard in a letterbox needs to survive the trip and still feel considered in the hand — that's where 350-450gsm stocks, soft-touch laminate and rounded corners do their quiet work. A postcard in a welcome kit or press box can go lighter at 300gsm because it sits inside tissue and ribbon, and the context carries the weight. Finish is where the creative brief earns its keep. Hot foil on uncoated stock reads as editorial and expensive. Spot-UV on a soft-touch matte reads as contemporary and design-led. Deboss on a thick duplex reads as quiet luxury. Edge-paint in a brand accent colour is the tiny detail that makes an advertising manager smile — and it's the one that gets posted. Seeded wildflower paper is the answer when the brand wants to say something about longevity without saying it. Print method follows volume. Under 500 cards, digital full-colour is faster and cheaper, with excellent fidelity on matte and silk stocks. Over 500, offset opens up spot Pantones, foils and spot-UV at better unit economics. If you need a specific brand Pantone to hold across a campaign, brief offset from the start. On sustainability: FSC-certified stocks are standard in our range, seeded paper blooms into Australian wildflowers, and recycled kraft is a strong choice for inserts and retail tags. We'll flag the certification on the quote so your ESG team has what they need. Always order a printed proof on the actual stock. A screen mockup lies about paperweight every time. Samples for U.S. orders are available on request — we confirm availability and quote the freight before anything ships.
