Frequently asked questions

Can I also order products that are not included in the standard product range?

Yes. Flyerline Schweiz AG is capable of providing you with nearly any conceivable printed product. We have one of the most extensive, state-of-the-art pools of printing and processing equipment in Switzerland. If you don’t see the product you want in our standard range, please use the contact form to send us your request. Our Sales team will be happy to prepare an attractive, customised quote.
How quickly can Flyerline deliver?

Delivery times vary depending on the specific product and print run. We always make every effort to produce and deliver your printed matter as quickly as possible. We generally need 2-5 working days, depending on the product. When you place your order, we offer a “Rush” option for most products that generally ensures you expedited production and a turnaround time of one working day. The actual time required for production and the expected shipping date can always be found in our shop, right by the configured print product.
How should I deliver my print data?

Ideally, we recommend that you send us a print file with a resolution of 300 dpi in CMYK colour mode (colour profile: PSO Coated, V3) and a bleed of 3 mm. The data formats that work best are .pdfx1, .pdfx3 and .pdfx4 as well as .tiff and .jpg for picture files. For detailed information, please refer to our “Data Delivery Tips”. You will find this document and the corresponding product data sheet both in our Download Centre and by the product in question.
What does 4/0 or 4/4 mean?

4/0 colour means: printed in four colours on one side (full colour)
4/4 colour means: printed in four colours on both sides (full colour)
Can I also send Office files to Flyerline?

Yes. But since Office files cannot be processed for professional printing, we first have to convert them into printable files. We charge a conversion fee of CHF 25 per file and page.
What is CMYK?

Cyan, magenta and yellow are the primary colours used for subtractive colour mixing. Black (K) is added because the primary colours are unable to produce a pure black. CMYK is the colour space required for printing. All masters are converted into CMYK files if they are not delivered in CMYK format.
My file is in RGB mode. Will that work too?

Yes. We convert the data into CMYK. This could result in slight variations in colour, especially in the case of extremely bright colours, since we do not know what colour was originally used and RGB documents look different on every screen. If you provide us with print data in RGB mode, we recommend selecting the “Proof” option.
What is bleed?

The bleed is the area of the print data that extends beyond the normal edge. Bleeds are necessary because printing machines work within a certain tolerance range and the paper can shift slightly during printing. Please create print files that have a 3 mm bleed on each edge.

Use postcards to send greetings, advertising or express your thanks

Traditional postcards are a versatile advertising medium and means of communication that can be used for both business advertising and personal projects. Whether you want to send out a personalised mailing, display information in public places or simply send personal messages to your family: the possibilities are endless. Put a smile on other people’s faces with our high-quality traditional postcards.

Formats

Our traditional postcards are available in DIN A7, DIN A6, DIN A6/5, DIN A5 and DIN A4 formats. If you’re interested in a special format, please use our contact form to get in touch with us. We would be happy to prepare a custom quote.

Number of pages

Printed on one side or two? You can have your postcards printed on one or both sides.

Colours

Flyerline Schweiz AG prints using the CMYK 4-colour model (also referred to as Euroscale). Any special or RGB colours contained in the files will be converted to CMYK.

Grammages, paper type, material

Your postcards will be printed on FSC-certified 280 g/m2 chromocard, coated on one side. The material is coated on one side, leaving the back perfect for hand-written notes. The material is impressively strong.

Sustainability is pivotally important to Flyerline Schweiz AG, which is why we use only FSC-certified paper for our postcards. As an internationally recognised non-profit organisation, FSC strives to bring greater transparency to business activities in the wood processing industry. After all, transparency is the best way to enforce the principles of ecological and sustainable forestry. Since modern-day consumers question products’ origin and the conditions surrounding their production, FSC can offer them both confidence and clarity.

Print runs

Traditional postcards can be ordered in print runs ranging from 25 copies to large-scale runs.
