Postcards
A real postcard from your trip, posted for you
Pick a photo from a step, write a few lines and choose who it is for. Footprintbook prints the card and posts it, while you just keep travelling.
Day 14 · Vietnam
Hoi An
Lanterns on the river, and a tailor who made my jacket in one day.
Day 28 · Indonesia
Uluwatu, Bali
Last sunset on the cliffs. Not ready to go home.
Nothing beats a real postcard on the doormat, and nothing is harder to arrange on the road: finding a card you like, stamps, a post box. With Footprintbook you send a real paper postcard in a minute, straight from the step where you took the photo. Your own picture is on the front, your message and the address on the back. Grandma gets a card from Bali, and you never had to look for a post office.
Your own words on the back
Write up to 350 characters. The message, the address and the postage are printed on the back, so it arrives as a real postcard.
Printed on sturdy glossy card
Each card is printed on sturdy glossy card of 15 × 10 cm, within a few days, and posted. It usually arrives within a week.
Straight from the step
Send a card right from the place you are writing about, while you travel or afterwards. The card belongs to that moment of your trip.
An address book for next time
Save addresses in your own address book (only you see it), so the next card to grandma, your parents or a friend takes seconds.
Cheaper by the bundle
One card costs €3.99 including postage. Buy a bundle with your card and pay less per card, down to €3.49 per card for ten; you use them whenever you like within a year.
