Promote Your Business With High-Quality Standard Postcard Printing.

Effective marketing need not consume your entire budget and take up a lot of time. Standard promotional postcard printing is an affordable way of informing current and potential customers of your brand’s latest deals, promos or products. The promotional impact begins when your postcard mailing reaches the homes of consumers. Receiving a promotional postcard can inspire them to check out what you’re announcing and visit your store to take advantage of a sale or event.

Standard postcard Information: Printing and Designing

When you’re printing postcards to mail to potential customers, choosing the right postcard dimensions matters. Choose wisely, taking into account the amount of information you need to convey and how much your custom postcards will cost to mail.

What are the standard postcard sizes you offer?

For flat standard postcards, we offer designs measuring 4 x 6 inches, 4.25 x 6 inches, 5 x 7 inches, 5.5 x 8.5 inches, 6 x 9 inches and 6 x 11 inches. We find that these sizes are the easiest to mail and the best to accommodate the designs our customers want to see on their postcards.

We also offer folded postcards as either half-folds or tri-folds. Half-fold postcard sizes are 8.5 x 6 inches (folds to 4.25 x 6 inches), 10 x 7 (folds to 5 x 7 inches), 11 x 8.5 inches (folds to 5.5 x 8.5 inches), 12 x 9 inches (folds to 6 x 9 inches) and 12 x 11 inches (folds to 6 x 11 inches). Tri-fold postcard sizes are 12.75 x 6 inches (folds to 4.25 x 6 inches), 15 x 7 inches (folds to 5 x 7 inches) and 16.5 x 8.5 inches (folds to 5.5 x 8.5 inches).

Which is the best size for my postcard design?

It’s crucial to choose dimensions that will make your custom postcards effective. Here are some of our standard postcard sizes that are sure to make an immediate impression:

• 4" x 6" postcards are small enough to make a straightforward and easy-to-read announcement. They’re also easy to keep and can be mailed with a postcard stamp. And while 4" x 6" postcard printing is one of the smaller options, it can still make a big impact.
   
• 5" x 7" postcards stand out against the smaller, standard postcards sent as personal mail. Their width allows for the right balance between images and compelling copy. Our 5" x 7" postcard printing is perfect for promoting a new business or product line.
   
• 5.5" x 8.5" postcards have more than enough space for an image-heavy or extremely visual design. They’re recommended for postcards announcing a sale or special deal available in store for a limited time.
   
• 6" x 9" postcards are the biggest option among the popular postcard sizes. They’re suitable for postcards with more than three images or the need to relay information in a straightforward, visual manner.

Which is the most durable card stock among the materials available?

The thicker card stocks are able to withstand the most potential damage from the mailing process. The 11 pt. card stock is the most popular option, but the 13 pt. and 15 pt. have a more substantial weight.

Make an impact with a simple but attention-grabbing design.

Here are some design guidelines to follow:

• Don’t cram it all in.
  Banners need to be readable even from a distance. Choose only the important information that your customers need to know.
• Choose the right material.
  Where you will put your banner determines the kind of material that you should get. Is it for an indoor event, or is it for outdoor use?
• Include a call to action.
  A well-designed banner is great, but it must specify the action that you want your customers to take.
