Los Angeles postcards, printed and mailed
Los Angeles is hard to put on one card, because it is not one place. The designs pick the part that reads instantly, and leave the rest of the city to your own photos.

6 ready-made fronts for Los Angeles. Pick one, write your message on the back, and we print and mail it.
What the Los Angeles designs show
The Hollywood sign, drawn into a green hillside with orange palms in the foreground and a flat purple sun behind the ridge. It is an engraving rather than a photograph, printed on cream stock, and the lettering on the hill is the whole composition.
There is no beach on the front, which is a fair reflection of what people actually drive up to see. The coast is what your own photos are for.
When people send one
All year, which is the point of the place. There is no season here, so LA cards are sent for reasons rather than dates: a move, a first job, a trip somebody at home did not think you would actually take.
Or use your own LA photo
The best Los Angeles postcards tend to be the least famous views — a bungalow, a taco stand, a parking lot at dusk. Upload one and it prints exactly like the designs do.
Frequently asked questions
Do you have designs for other California cities?
Yes. San Diego, San Francisco and San Jose each have their own set of fronts, and each has its own page with the designs laid out.
