Graphics Decal HQ is Winnipeg's locally operated full-service print and branding shop — trusted by Manitoba real estate brokerages, retailers, hospitality brands, and event promoters to produce direct mail campaigns and in-hand premium cards that get noticed, opened, and acted on. UV coating is unforgiving on production: the gloss layer amplifies every print artifact, every misregistration, every colour shift; which is why UV-coated postcards demand the calibrated equipment and experienced production team we run from our Winnipeg facility. When you order through GDHQ a local team reviews your artwork before press, catches the file issues that hide under matte but show up under UV gloss, and produces your order to a consistent premium standard.

Postcard production has small details that compound under UV — ink coverage limits matter more on the back side if you need handwritten addressing, edge bleed has to be handled cleanly because trim cuts expose the card core, and Canada Post automated sorting clearance for the address block has to be respected. We catch all of it before press so your campaign drops into the mail stream cleanly the first time.

Our high-resolution digital printing followed by precision UV coating means your brand colours, photography, and typography come through with the saturation and depth the format is engineered to deliver. We offer local pickup at 2095 Logan Avenue, Winnipeg — ready in 4 to 5 business days — as well as Canada-wide shipping for organizations distributing campaigns across Manitoba and beyond.

For other postcard finishes, see our [Post Cards] for the standard finish range, or [Laminated Post Cards] for the maximum-durability premium finish. For premium event invitations in matching finishes, see our [UV High Glossy Invitation Cards] and [Laminated Invitation Cards]. For UV-finished folded marketing, see our [UV Coated 2 Panel Brochure] or [UV Coated Flyer]. For matching mailing materials, add [Envelopes] to your order.

We are also a 3M Certified Graphics Installation Company and a CBSA-approved barcode printer — credentials that reflect the standard of quality and compliance we bring to every product we produce.

UV glossy postcards are the right choice for Winnipeg businesses and Canadian organizations whose direct mail or in-hand cards need to feel premium without the cost or addressing limitations of full lamination:

• Real estate agents and brokerages across Winnipeg's River Heights, Tuxedo, Bridgwater, and St. Vital running farming campaigns where the visual impact of UV gloss commands attention against competing agent mail
• Retailers and boutiques across Manitoba announcing flagship sales, store openings, and exclusive in-store events where photography is the selling point
• Restaurants, cafes, and hospitality brands across Winnipeg promoting grand openings, seasonal menus, and limited-time offers with food photography that benefits from UV saturation
• Event promoters, theatres, festivals, and concert venues across Manitoba driving ticket sales for shows where image-driven promotion converts
• Medical aesthetic clinics, dental practices, and wellness brands across Manitoba sending premium appointment reminders and recall notices that match the price point of their service
• Trade show exhibitors and brand activations across Canada handing out premium reference cards that get kept rather than discarded
• Photographers, designers, architects, and creative professionals using UV gloss postcards as portfolio cards and project leave-behinds that showcase visual work at full saturation
• Non-profit organizations and charities running premium donor appeals where the postcard format outperforms letters on response rate
• Travel agencies, tourism boards, and resorts showcasing destinations with photography that demands gloss to read at full intensity

To order, configure your UV coverage, size, paper weight, and print side using the options above, upload your print-ready artwork file, and add to cart. Important note for UV designs: avoid heavy ink coverage in fold or score areas, plan your back side for either UV gloss or writable handwritten addressing (not both), and ensure full bleed extends to the trim line. Our Winnipeg team reviews every file before production and will flag any issues. Design assistance is available — reach out via our [Contact] page or call us at (204) 403-4347.

Local pickup is available at 2095 Logan Avenue, Winnipeg MB. Standard production is 4 to 5 business days after artwork approval. Rush 48hr service is available — select at checkout before the 2pm daily cutoff.
