StampCard Shop

Online you can create and send real postcards with your personal stamp, either your own photos or a personally chosen photo from our selection, and with your own message. The cards will immediately be printed professionally in Switzerland and sent to any destination in the world to be delivered by the postman within a few days.

Sending a StampCard saves you the trouble of buying a postcard and going to the post office to stand in a queue. Instead, you surprise your family and friends with a personal postcard, which has the character of a gift.

The procedure is simple:

1. Select a Stamp
Log into the shop and select a picture for your stamp: This can be one of your own from the chip of your digital camera, which you load onto the StampCards server that will give it the indented stamp-like look. Or you pick a ready-made stamp from our selection. Click on "Select" below the picture of your choice.

2. Choose Picture for Postcard
Select a photo for the picture page of your postcard. We give you several options: In addition to Greetings from South Africa or Namibia, we also cover Birthday, Christmas and New Year's wishes. And here you can also use your own digital photo, which you can load on to the StampCards server.

3. Your Letter/Message and Recipient's Address
Fill in the card text and the postal address of the recipient. Before sending the card, check the preview and make changes, if necessary.

4. Pay and Send
A StampCard costs 2,99 Euro - including worldwide delivery. You can pay comfortably and safely online by credit card (VISA, Mastercard) through PAYPAL. The postcard will be printed and despatched immediately. You can also pay by bank transfer. Then the card will be printed after receipt of payment.
