Versatile Printed Postcards for Marketing and Communication

Custom postcards provide an immediate way to present your message without requiring recipients to open an envelope. They are effective for direct mail, sales promotions, invitations, announcements, appointment reminders, thank-you messages, real estate marketing, restaurant promotions, and community outreach.

The range of dimensions supports both concise and information-rich designs. Smaller postcards are useful for focused offers and simple announcements, while larger sizes provide additional space for photographs, service details, schedules, menus, maps, or multiple calls to action.

The 3.5" × 8.5" and 6" × 9" options are identified as EDDM-friendly. Postal requirements can change and may depend on thickness, weight, aspect ratio, addressing, and preparation, so confirm current mailing rules before finalizing artwork or purchasing postage.

The 8" × 10" and 8.5" × 11" formats provide generous space for restaurant menus, service lists, price information, event schedules, or other detailed content.

Optional rounded corners can create a distinctive presentation, while compatible coatings and specialty finishes can emphasize selected visual elements. Not every stock or finish is necessarily available with every size, so confirm the exact combination in the ordering interface.

Coatings and Specialty Finishes

High Gloss UV Coating

High Gloss UV creates a shiny, durable surface that can intensify colors and photographs. When front-only High Gloss UV is available, the reverse can remain more suitable for addressing or writing, depending on the selected stock and configuration.

If the product configuration applies a semi-gloss surface to the back, test the intended writing instrument before use.

Raised Print UV

Raised Print UV adds elevated gloss to selected design elements, creating contrast against the surrounding surface.

Raised Print Foil

Raised Print Foil combines texture with metallic visual accents to emphasize logos, headlines, patterns, or other selected artwork.

Specialty finishes require correctly prepared artwork and are available only with compatible paper stocks, sizes, and product configurations.

Rounded Corners

Optional rounded corners give postcards a softer, more distinctive profile. They can be useful for invitations, premium promotions, loyalty communications, and branded handouts. Confirm rounded-corner availability for the selected size, stock, coating, and quantity before ordering.

Envelope Recommendations

Envelopes are not included with postcard orders. If an envelope is needed, use the finished postcard dimensions to select an envelope with sufficient interior clearance.

Confirm envelope interior dimensions, postcard thickness, coatings, and required clearance before purchasing envelopes.
