Postcard FAQs
What sizes do you recommend?
4″×6″ and 5″×7″ are great all-purpose sizes. For more impact, 6″×9″ or 6″×11″ stand out in the stack.
Which paper stock is best?
We suggest 14pt for standard cards and 16pt for oversized. Add matte for a refined look or UV gloss for high shine and scuff resistance.

Yes—our in-house designer can create a postcard tailored to your brand and campaign goals, or refine your existing layout for print.
Do you print variable data?
Yes. We can personalize names, neighborhoods, unique URLs, and coupon codes to improve response and tracking.
How do I make my postcard “mail-friendly”?
We’ll advise on safe areas for addressing, indicia placement, and clear zones so your cards process smoothly when mailed.
How fast can you print?
Short runs are often ready within 1–3 business days; larger or specialty runs typically take 2–5 days. Rush options available—call for today’s capacity.
