If you want to avail 4 x 9 postcard at Digital Room, you have two options depending on your need. If you prefer offset to be used for your materials, you have to meet a minimum required number of orders of 500 up to 100,000. For orders below 500, the digital technology will be utilized by the company.
Although many people still prefer the old offset method, more and more people are also beginning to trust the digital process when it comes to the quality of the materials being produced.
For your 4 x 9 postcard, the paper stocks that you can choose for your materials are the 14 pt. Gloss Cover with AQ coating and 14 pt. Matte Cover. The AQ or Aqueous coating will produce a slight shine effect on your tools while the Matte coating will give out a dull finish to your cards.
