Questions
Postcard Printing FAQ
Can you handle postcard mailing as well as printing?
Yes. We can print and mail postcards locally, nationally, or internationally. Our team advises on USPS size and weight requirements, indicia placement, and address list preparation for direct mail campaigns.
Can postcards be inserted into e-commerce orders or kits?
Yes - this is one of the most common uses. Postcards printed at our facility go directly to warehouse inventory and are inserted into outbound orders as bag stuffers, coupon cards, or product inserts at the time of fulfillment.
What postcard size qualifies for standard USPS postcard rates?
USPS standard postcard size is 3.5×5 minimum to 4.25×6 maximum, with a thickness of 0.007"-0.016". Our 4×6 postcard is the most popular size for direct mail at the lowest postage rate.
How fast can you turn postcards around?
Standard turnaround is 3-5 business days from approved file. Rush production is available - contact us with your deadline when requesting a quote.
