Postcard printing sizes that fit most jobs
4×6 is the classic handout and thank-you size. 5×7 and 6×9 give more room for offers, maps, and QR codes. EDDM mailers often use larger formats such as 6.5×9 that meet USPS Every Door rules. Pick the size that matches how the card will travel: hand-to-hand, stamped mail, or EDDM.

EDDM tips vs standard postcard mail
Standard stamped postcards need addresses and postage per piece. EDDM skips the address list and uses Postal Service routes instead. If you are mailing whole neighborhoods, start on EDDM postcards and read EDDM cost: printing + postage before you budget.
Honest limit: Online postcard printing is not same-hour retail pickup. Build production and shipping (and USPS time for mail) into your campaign calendar.

Postcard printing FAQ
How much does postcard printing cost?
Totals depend on size, sides, paper, and quantity. Configure those fields on this page’s form for a live number. For EDDM-sized mailers, related July 20, 2026 print anchors are $98.43 for 500 and $129.76 for 1,000 on 6.5×9 both sides before postage.
What postcard size should I order?
4×6 fits short offers and thank-you notes. 6×9 fits menus, maps, and bigger headlines. EDDM jobs must follow USPS size rules for your mailing class. Match the size to the story, not to whatever template you found first.
Is postage included?
No. Print prices cover the cards. Stamped mail and EDDM postage are separate. Budget both lines so a “cheap print” quote does not surprise you at the post office.
When should I use EDDM instead of regular postcards?
Use EDDM when you want every door on a route without buying a mailing list. Use addressed postcards when you have a clean customer or voter list. See the EDDM product page and cost guide for route budgeting.
Can I get rush postcard printing?
Rush turnaround options appear on the form when available. Rush shortens production time; it does not create same-hour local pickup or faster USPS delivery by itself.
What file do you need?
A print-ready PDF at flat size with bleed if color hits the edge. Keep addresses and QR codes inside the safe margin. Approve the free proof so a wrong phone number does not print across 1,000 cards.
How many postcards should I order?
Order from distribution, not fear. A storefront test can start at a few hundred. A neighborhood drop often needs 1,000+. Reorder the same approved file when the offer still converts.
Do you print both sides?
Yes when you select both-sides color on the form. Most marketing postcards use a bold offer on the front and details or a map on the back. Blank backs waste space unless you plan handwriting.
