Predesigned templates
Start with how the card will reach the reader. A compact 4 x 6 inch handout has different layout and mailing needs from a larger neighborhood advertising piece. A named list lets you choose particular recipients; an EDDM campaign instead selects USPS carrier routes. Decide that method before paying for a print run.

Use the matching guideline and Design Studio cards on this page, then check the current price tables and form for your actual configuration.
Match the size to the job
The form contains compact, square, long and larger card formats. Select the actual finished size before opening a guideline or designing the back. A 4 x 6 inch card is useful for a concise offer or reminder; a larger card gives photographs, an offer and response instructions more room. Postal classification and postage depend on the complete finished mailpiece, not just the product name.
For a carrier-route campaign, compare EDDM postcard printing and current USPS size requirements. A standard thin 4 x 6 inch card does not qualify as an EDDM flat. For a shorter production schedule, compare express postcards and the currently available turnaround. Digital Fast ordering remains paused.
Choose stock, coating and writing space


The stock and finish controls determine the combination actually quoted. Compare the listed gloss, matte, uncoated and specialty options for the selected size and quantity; not every option necessarily works with every combination. If someone will write a personal note or address, check the writing surface before choosing a glossy coating over that area. A premium stock name alone does not guarantee postal eligibility.
Square Corners is the default. Rounded Corners (0.25 inch radius) is a separate finishing choice, so the artwork must respect the rounded trim. Before mailing an unusual stock, shape or finish, confirm acceptance for the actual mailpiece and mailing service. For EDDM, follow the separate flat requirements rather than assuming every postcard option is suitable.
Plan one clear campaign
Example plan: a real-estate agent preparing an open house can put the property photograph, event date and one clear invitation on the front. The back can contain the address, a short feature list and a QR code to the listing. Reserve the address and postage areas required by the chosen mailing service before filling the whole back with advertising. This is a planning example, not a reported customer result.
Give the reader one main next step: visit, call, book or redeem. Make the offer terms and expiry date readable, and test the final QR code at printed size. Use a distinct campaign code or destination page if you want to measure responses. Keep the number mailed, responses and resulting orders separate; a scan alone is not a sale.
Compare the complete printing order
Use the live price tables and form for current prices. Match finished size, stock, printed sides, coating, corners, quantity, turnaround and destination when comparing offers. The form shows printing and shipping separately. Postage, list preparation and a mail house are outside this order, so add those separately when budgeting a mailed campaign.
Choose an available quantity that covers the actual list or handout plan, including any planned extras. The form currently quotes a 50-piece 4 x 6 inch gloss configuration as well as the 100-piece default; choose the quantity that matches the campaign. Availability and price still depend on the complete combination. A printing quantity does not establish a USPS mailing minimum.
Use templates and choose the proof
Download the guideline matching the finished size. Extend backgrounds to its bleed edge and keep important text inside the marked safe area. Check both sides at final size, including orientation, contact details, offer terms and QR destination. Use a Predesigned Design Studio card for a starting layout, replace the example content and recheck the product selections after Order this art returns to the form.
Print as is is the default. Select the free Human review + digital PDF proof for approval (4 to 8 business hours) option when you want to approve before production. Review the proof and respond to any notes. A PDF is an artwork approval view, not an exact physical paper or color sample. Artwork changes and your response can affect the schedule.
Allow for production, transit and mailing
The default production label is Standard (3-5 Business Days). Review the available rush or express choices and their fees in the form. Proof review and approval, production, shipping transit and any later postal preparation are separate stages. Air shipping speeds the selected transit service after production; it does not turn a standard production job into a faster print run.
Count back from the date the cards must reach the recipients, not just the day you want the carton delivered. Leave time to inspect the cards and prepare the mailing. This is an online print-and-ship service; confirm a tight deadline and the destination before ordering.
| Decision | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Named list or handout | Use regular postcards; arrange addressing and mailing separately. |
| Whole-route campaign | Choose an eligible EDDM flat and confirm route counts first. |
| Campaign budget | Include printing, shipping, postage and mailing preparation. |
Buyer questions
Can I mail only to businesses?
With regular postcards, you can arrange a named business-address list and its mailing separately. EDDM selects routes instead; it does not turn a mixed residential route into a business-only list.
Are postage and mailing included?
No. This order prints and ships the cards to you or your chosen mail house. Arrange addressing, postage, postal preparation and entry separately. Confirm the current postal rules and rates for the finished piece.
Does an indicia option buy postage?
No. Adding the postal mark to the artwork does not pay USPS or complete the mailing. Select the mark appropriate for the actual mailing method and arrange the corresponding postage and entry.
Review the selected specifications, artwork, proof choice, production and shipping total in the form before ordering.
