Standard Postcard Printing That Personalizes Your Brand
Postcard printing allows marketers to build a relationship with their target consumers. People continue to appreciate the personalized touch of postcard marketing over their daily digital consumption. Postcards continue to be an affordable yet creative way for businesses to reach their customers in the comfort of their homes.
A standard postcard is often utilized to remind customers of a brand’s website launch, a new store branch, or an upcoming sale.
Handy, Mailable Postcard Sizes
We offer business postcards in a variety of dimensions to help you spread an important message and showcase your business.
- 4” x 6” postcard printing is the most affordable option, perfect for sending out bulk announcements on a product launch or store opening.
- 4.25” x 6” is slightly larger than the standard 4” x 6” and provides more space for visual heavy designs.
- 5” x 7” are perfect for sending out timely sales promotions and discount coupons. It’s large enough to stand out but handy enough to keep for future reference.
- 5.5” x 8.5” postcards strike a balance between ample space for information and images without breaking your budget.
- 6”x 9” is big enough to stand out but also easy to hand out and for customers to keep.
- 6” x 11” is the largest mailable size available & is sure to get noticed in the pile.
Crisp Cardstock Choices
Each postcard is made from thick and durable cardstock that appears as if they were fresh from the press.
- 10 pt. - Our lightweight, flexible cardstock option, similar to paper used in greeting cards.
- 14 pt. - A common choice for printing postcards in bulk. This thickness is commonly seen on standard business cards.
- 16 pt. - Slightly thicker and more durable than the last two cardstock options. Its weight is normally felt on formal invitations for weddings and company events.
- 17 pt. - Our most durable option that gives your postcard an upscale, premium feel. Its weight can be likened to the thicker covers of paperback books.
Four Distinct Finishes
We also offer double-sided postcard printing so you can utilize the space available.
Gloss
Gloss gives your postcard design the right shine, establishing a balance between the short copy and main image.
Matte
Matte is the prime choice for luxury brands or designs that prefer a satin-like appearance. It’s easy on the eyes and guides readers through lengthier text.
High Gloss UV
High Gloss UV is extra shiny and makes every color pop even from afar.
Uncoated
Uncoated option gives a high end finish for brands that need a subdued look for their custom postcards.
