A birthday, a thank-you, a sorry. Some things deserve more than a text, but finding a card, writing it neatly and getting it to the post office takes an afternoon you don't have.

That's what Snailgram is for. It's made by the team behind Unopost: you type the message, a real pen writes it inside the card in ink, and we post it to arrive on the day you pick. It's open now.

Happy birthday, Mum!Sixty looks good on you.Lunch on Sunday, my shout.Love, Sam x
Covers made on Snailgram. Inside, your message is written in blue ink, exactly as you typed it.

Start a cardFree to design. You only pay when you send it.

How it works

  • Describe a cover in one sentence, such as "Peonies for Mum's sixtieth", and choose from three designs made from it.
  • Write your message. We never edit, rewrite or suggest a word.
  • Pick a handwriting style, add the address and choose the day it should arrive.
  • We print the cover, the pen writes your message, and we post it in time.

Real ink, not a font

The message isn't printed. A machine holds a real pen and writes every letter in blue ink, exactly as you typed it. It isn't written by a person's hand, but it's your words, in ink, on a real card.

Want it in your own handwriting? Try the beta: add a photo of your writing and the pen learns to write like you.

What it costs

$50 all in: the cover, your message in ink, the envelope, the stamp and delivery anywhere in Australia. Your first card is 30% off. No account needed.

Each card goes by tracked Express Post within one business day, for next business day delivery to most capital-city postcodes and three business days everywhere else. Cards go to Australian addresses only for now.

The short version

If it's a few lines that should feel written, not printed, Snailgram writes them in ink and posts them for $50. If it's a letter or a document, post it here.
