Blog > Printing addresses is now 50% easier

  icon

If you are anything like us, you probably enjoy writing your postcards while sipping on a cappuccino or a cup of tea in your favourite neighbourhood coffee shop. And now, that’s easier with our new printing feature! Now you can print on paper the details you need to send the postcards. This way you can also take the information with you next time you go out to buy postcards.

Oh, and by the way, we made it so that you can also cut the address and glue it on a postcard – that should make it easier to deal with those hard to write addresses, avoiding any mistakes.

Of course, you are free to continue copying the addresses directly from the site – we know we still do it most of the time. For the ones who have a use for this feature, we would like to know what you think.

PS: Oh! And please do not forget to reuse and recycle all the paper that you use.

I just LOVE this new feature. As someone who requests several addresses at a time and then copies the addresses into Word and prints them out to stick on the postcards this is so much easier. Ir saves so much time. Great feature. Thank you.

wow I hadn't even thought of something like this... you guys have great minds :D

but yeah, it's hard to copy and paste all the addresses... now I don't have to worry about losing a document after i've copied everything into it, and i don't have to print a billion pages. thanks so much!

I like the printing idea very much. I get many cards with my adress printed on it and I will use this for sure if I get an hard to write address. ;-)
If you take sticker labels, you even don't need glue. ;-)

Being able to print out details to take with you when shopping for cards is a FABULOUS idea!!! (This site just keeps getting better and better!). But I agree with elicat about gluing the addresses on. I love to see other people's handwriting too. And, like elicat, would probably only use this idea if the language was in anything other than the typical A,B,C alphabet.

But I still give you an A+++++ for ingenuity!!!! : - )

Absolutely great! I like this feature to print the addresses and informations about who get my card. So i can write the cards later and not beside the computer, i like it!
But i prefer to write the address, not to glupae it.

And i take for this feature papers on the backside from badprints or commercialpostsendings or anything else. So i use the paper which i had thrown away the time before.

This is a neat feature, but it seems to me that the format could be made more compact so that the details for more than 2 cards can fit on 1 page of printout.

In many cases hosts of websites loose interest on their work one or two years later. You are still THINKING how to please us - a big THANK YOU!
Great new feature!

It's wonderful! But it is possible to make the text in the About section bigger?

I'm happy to hear that this was welcomed by all.

I've increased the font of the 'about' section as many requested so.

Thank you all for the feedback!

I am excited about this feature, especially if it encourages users whose native languages are written in different scripts than English. I think mail probably would get to a place much faster if it used the country's language characters. Plus, I like seeing script from other countries. I think I will still handwrite the addresses, as I like doing that. But if other users include their addresses in their native characters, I would definitely print them out.
