Postcard Printing

Postcards are a classic marketing tool that remains one of the most effective ways to reach your audience. They offer a blend of affordability, visibility and personalization that make them ideal for grand opening announcements, sales promotions, service reminders, invitations and more.

Picture postcards became widespread at the dawn of the 20th century. The majority of these cards were printed using photolithography and collotype processes, which resulted in prints that looked remarkably like photographs. They were tinted by hand with soothing pastels or otherworldly fluorescents, resulting in distinctively artistic finishes and tonal gradations.

Designed to be mailed without envelopes, these postcards are available in standard sizes that qualify for lower letter-size postage rates. This size allows for enough room for a simple call to action or message, and can be mailed at the first class card rate whether flat or folded.

Digital Printing

Digital printing is a method that prints from a computer file directly onto a variety of materials. This skips the need for metal printing plates or cylinders, which makes it fast and flexible. It is ideal for short print runs, on demand jobs, and personalized printing such as business cards and brochures.

Modern digital printing machines use inkjet printers that spray liquid ink for vibrant color and laser/toner printers that fuse toner to the surface for crisp results. With minimal setup, the ability to change designs instantly, and higher quality than traditional offset printing, digital is quickly becoming a top choice for many commercial print projects.

With this technology, you can print on a variety of materials including thick cardstock, paper bags, folding cartons, fabric (t-shirts, hats, tote bags), and even linen for custom apparel and promotional products. In addition, this technology is perfect for printing variable data such as names, addresses, phone numbers, or 2D barcodes that can track inventory.

Business Card Printing

Even in our technology-filled world, printed business cards remain a valuable networking tool for professionals and businesses of all sizes. Sending contact information via email or text might be convenient, but it lacks the sense of intimacy and personal connection that comes with exchanging a business card.

At Hatteras, we love working with our customers to create the perfect business card for their brand or company. Business cards should include all of the relevant information about your company or individual, including name, phone number, email address, and website. We also suggest using larger font sizes so that your card is easy to read and visually appealing.

We adhere to campus brand standards and have contracts in place for all print jobs, eliminating the need to secure competing quotes for most projects.

Brochure Printing

Whether it’s your company’s story, a new product introduction, or a comprehensive photo spread, a brochure is a great way to share information. Brochures also leave a lasting impression. Unlike online ads, a physical brochure arrives directly in your customer’s hands.

Depending on the complexity of your design, brochure printing can be cost-effective. The type of paper stock you choose, number of folds and finishing options (gloss coating, matte finish) affect the price.

Folding styles, like a tri-fold or z-fold, determine how many panels are included in your custom brochure. Gate fold brochures are ideal for luxury presentations, and accordion or c-fold arrangements create a storytelling layout. Booklet brochures are saddle-stitched, stapled on the creased edge or perfect bound like a paperback book and include eight or more panels. A brochure should be designed with clear structure and a clean look to ensure that your audience is able to quickly find what they need. The right print finishes elevate your custom brochures and communicate your brand’s value.
