The Complete Guide to Postcard Printing
Choosing the right size and stock is critical for both impact and postage costs. A well-chosen postcard size ensures your message stands out in the mailbox without breaking the budget.
Standard Postcard Sizes & Uses
4x6 Postcard Printing: This is the standard postcard size. It qualifies for the lowest First-Class Mail postcard rate. It is perfect for save-the-dates, appointment reminders, and coupons.
5x7 Postcard Printing: A step up in visibility. This size commands more attention and offers more space for design. It is ideal for event invitations and premium offers.
EDDM Sizes (6.5x9, 8.5x11): Every Door Direct Mail requires specific dimensions. These larger formats act like mini-billboards in the mailbox, ensuring your brand dominates the pile.
Paper Stocks & Finishes
The feel of the card is as important as the look. We offer sturdy 14pt and 16pt cardstocks that survive the postal machinery and arrive looking crisp.
UV High Gloss: A shiny, protective coating that makes colors vibrant. It resists scuffs during mailing, making it the best choice for photo-heavy designs.
Matte / Dull Cover: A sophisticated, non-glare finish. It provides a smooth texture that is easy to write on, perfect for cards that require a personal note.
Design & Templates
We provide a postcard template for every size to ensure your artwork is print-ready. This includes safe zones for text and the required addressing area for USPS regulations.
Whether you are promoting postcard cabins for a travel agency or a local charity drive, proper layout ensures your message is delivered without postal delays.

- Real Estate Marketing: "Just Listed" and "Just Sold" cards are essential for agents to build neighborhood authority.
- Retail Promotions: A physical coupon has a higher redemption rate than a digital code, driving foot traffic to your store.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What size is a postcard for printing?
The standard postcard size is 4" x 6". This size qualifies for the USPS First-Class Postcard rate. Larger sizes like 5" x 7" or 6" x 9" offer more visibility but mail at the Letter rate.

For Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM), postcards must be larger than standard. Common EDDM sizes include 6.5" x 9", 6" x 11", and 8.5" x 11". These flat sizes stand out in the mail stream.
Do you offer design templates?
Yes, we provide blank templates with bleed lines and safe zones for all standard sizes. This ensures your postcard artwork is set up correctly for print and mailing.

Our same day postcard printing service is available for standard digital runs submitted before the cutoff. Larger offset runs or mailing services typically take 3-5 business days.
