As the December postal rush looms, a Swedish service is offering a streamlined solution for holiday greetings. PostNord‘s “Riktiga Vykort” app allows users to create and send physical postcards directly from their smartphones – bypassing the conventional steps of penning,addressing,and mailing. The service, launched initially in 2015, has seen renewed interest as consumers seek convenient, personalized alternatives to digital cards, especially within the Swedish market where the app is currently focused.

Send Holiday Cards Directly From Your Phone – With Real Mail Delivery
As the holiday season approaches, PostNord is offering a new way to send greetings: a physical card delivered through the mail, created entirely from a smartphone. The “Riktiga Vykort” (Real Postcards) app allows users to bypass the traditional hassles of writing, addressing, and mailing holiday cards.
With just a few taps, users can select a pre-designed image, choose a photo from their phone’s album, or even take a new picture. The app then allows for customization with frames, text, and emojis, along with a personalized message on the back. PostNord handles the printing and delivery. Orders placed before 4:00 PM on a weekday typically arrive within two business days in Sweden, making it a convenient option even for last-minute greetings.
The app streamlines the process, eliminating the need to manually write, stamp, and post cards. Users can input addresses manually or import them from hitta.se, and payment is accepted via credit card or Swish. This offers a more personal touch than mass-produced e-cards without the time commitment of traditional card-making. The rise of these services reflects a growing demand for convenient, personalized communication options.
For international recipients, it’s advisable to plan ahead due to varying delivery times. However, for addresses within Sweden, the app’s quick turnaround time remains effective even close to the holidays. Using a high-quality photo will ensure the best printing results, and pre-collecting recipient addresses will speed up the process.
