Availability, paper specifications, and postal eligibility depend on the selected product and mailing method. Confirm the final specifications before approving your order.
Choose the Right Paper Stock and Finish
The paper and finish you choose affect the appearance, feel, and presentation of your postcards. Depending on the product specifications available for your order, options may include:
Gloss Finish
Gloss coatings provide a reflective surface that helps photographs and colorful graphics stand out. They are commonly used for retail promotions, restaurant marketing, and image-heavy postcards.
Matte Finish
Matte finishes offer a smooth, non-reflective appearance. They work well for professional business communications, promotional messaging, and designs where readability is important.
Uncoated Finish
Uncoated paper has a natural paper feel and is suitable for designs that benefit from a simpler appearance or require writable areas.
Cardstock Options
Choose an appropriate cardstock based on your intended use, desired thickness, budget, and mailing requirements. Our team can help confirm available stock options for your selected postcard format.
Bulk Postcard Printing for Marketing Campaigns
Need postcards for a larger promotion? Bulk postcard printing can help businesses prepare consistent marketing materials for multiple locations, customer outreach campaigns, seasonal promotions, and direct-mail projects. Larger quantities may offer a different per-piece cost depending on the printing process and specifications.
When requesting a bulk postcard quote, provide:
- Required postcard dimensions
- Estimated printing quantity
- Single-sided or double-sided printing
- Preferred paper stock and finish
- Artwork or design requirements
- Required production date
- Whether mailing or delivery support is needed
For larger projects, discuss the full order requirements before production so you can understand the available options and overall cost.
Postcard Printing for Direct Mail Campaigns

You can use postcards to introduce a service, promote a limited-time offer, reach previous customers, or advertise your business to a selected audience.
