I'm an amateur photographer in Brooklyn. My neighbors love my Brownstone neighborhood photos, and this year I took the leap and started a small greeting card business using my photos! At first, the process seemed intimidating, but the customer service at Modern made it easy. I used the phone and email for help, and everyone was very nice, professional and supportive. The finished product speaks for itself...the cards are gorgeous! I am using them for my personal holiday cards, as well as selling them online and in small local businesses. I can't wait to prepare my second set of photo cards with Modern Postcard.

    • Borders thinner than 3/16" from bleed edge may appear uneven when trimmed.
    • Images bordering the trim edge may cause a leak on final cards. Images should "bleed" off the page.

  • Postal regulations: If your cards will be mailed, please ensure that your layout complies with the USPS Postal Regulations.
