Postcard Printing That Boosts Your Promotional Power

Your message is only as powerful as your medium and postcard printing is a great, inexpensive way of delivering a targeted message. Go and get new customers by highlighting your brand’s offerings through discount deals, weekend sale announcements, website announcements, or store openings on your printed postcards.

Go Loud or Proud With Different Sizes

We offer several postcard sizes that let you custom fit each order according to your project’s requirements.

• 4” x 6” is our handiest and most affordable size. Ideal for informing a big crowd about a brand offer such as discounts or time-sensitive promos.

• 5” x 7” is big enough to make a statement but still handy enough for a customer to read or even keep before they visit your store.

• 5.5 ” x 8.5” is perfect for postcard designs that balance text with images or infographics.

• 6” x 9” lets a striking image of your new store or product take the centerstage on a print postcards.

Daring & Dependable Paper Stock

Choose from three thick, durable, and substantial cardstocks that withstand the possible wear and tear from mailing. Combined with the most appropriate coating surface, your printed postcards can easily make a big impression once customers receive your announcement.

• 14 pt. gloss is our most popular option, given its durability, flexibility, and distinct shine. Ideal for reaching out to several demographics when your business has a big announcement.

• 14 pt. high gloss provides additional protection for your images and text, especially when all the important information is on the front side of the postcards.

• 14 pt. high gloss UV front & uncoated back provides a writable back and an impactful front that is ideal for travel postcards.

• 16 pt. gloss offers additional durability in both coating and card material and is recommended for mailing bulk orders to a wide audience.

• 16 pt. matte is the alternative choice for those that need an elegant finish for easy reading on one or both sides of the postcards.

Complete the distinction of your postcard design by adding rounded corners. Unlike the typical hard edge seen on most delivered postcards, our rounded corners appear softer and stand out upon first glance.
