Premium 100% Cotton Base
These postcards are crafted from traditional white, 100% cotton watercolor paper. This is the gold standard in the art world. The cold-pressed texture ensures:
- Excellent Absorption: The paper absorbs water evenly, preventing pigment from running uncontrollably.
- Color Vibrancy: Cotton retains color intensity even after drying, which is critical when working with watercolors or ink.
- Durability: The 300 gsm weight allows for layering and lifting without damaging the paper surface.
Smart Design and Functionality
One of the greatest benefits of this product is its mail-ready design. The reverse side is pre-printed with address lines and a stamp area. This means that once your artwork is finished, you don't need envelopes—your drawing paper instantly becomes an official postal item.
The pack contains 20 sheets glued on the long edge. This allows you to paint directly on the block (preventing warping) and detach the finished work cleanly.
Longevity and Eco-friendliness
When creating greetings meant to last for years, chemical stability is vital. This watercolor paper is acid-free and pH neutral. This guarantees your work won't yellow or become brittle over decades. Furthermore, the product is FSC certified, confirming responsible forestry practices.
Verdict
These postcards are an ideal choice for illustrators, hobbyists, and anyone looking to gift unique emotions. The 300gsm thickness and professional cotton texture deliver high-quality results, while the pre-printed back adds immense practical value.

Is this paper suitable only for watercolors?
While it is watercolor paper, it works beautifully with gouache, acrylics, markers, calligraphic ink, and even colored pencils.
Can I send this postcard by mail without an envelope?
Yes! The back is specifically designed for addressing, so you can send it directly as a classic postcard after attaching a stamp.
