Simple & Effective Marketing
Deliver a Focused Message Without an Envelope
Postcards make it easy to place your main promotion, property, event, announcement or offer directly in front of the recipient.
The front can feature a strong image and headline while the reverse can carry supporting details, contact information, mailing space and a clear call to action.
Reach Local Customers
Use postcards for neighborhood outreach, customer lists, seasonal promotions and recurring marketing campaigns.
Advertise Offers
Promote sales, services, events, coupons, grand openings and customer reactivation offers.
Share Important News
Create invitations, save-the-date cards, launches, appreciation messages and community announcements.
High-Gloss Presentation
Make Full-Color Photos and Graphics Stand Out
The high-gloss coating gives photographs, colors and promotional graphics a bright, polished appearance.
This finish works especially well for real estate photography, restaurant offers, retail products, events and image-focused advertising.
Because glossy surfaces may not work with every pen, stamp or ink, any area intended for handwriting or addressing should be planned before artwork is finalized.
Printed Sides
Single-Sided or Double-Sided Postcard Printing
Simple Promotional Card
Use one printed side for your main design while leaving the reverse blank.
More Room for Your Message
Use the reverse for mailing information, services, property details, event information, offers or contact details.
Double-sided printing works especially well for mailers because the front can focus on visual impact while the reverse carries additional information and recipient details.
Layout Options
Horizontal or Vertical Postcard Designs
Traditional Mailer Layout
Ideal for wide photography, property images, promotional graphics and event announcements.
Modern Presentation
Works well for invitations, portrait photography, products, menus and branded campaign graphics.
Artwork must match the exact dimensions and orientation selected for your order.
Sizes & Mailing
Choose from Five Postcard Sizes
Smaller postcards work well for appointment reminders, coupons, invitations and short messages, while larger formats provide more room for listings, menus, detailed promotions and photography.
| Finished Size | Recommended Use |
|---|---|
| 5″W × 3″H | Thank-you cards, appointment reminders, coupons and short messages |
| 6″W × 4″H | General promotions, invitations, announcements and customer mailers |
| 7″W × 5″H | Real estate marketing, events, product promotions and photo-focused designs |
| 9″W × 6″H | Detailed offers, menus, property information and larger promotional mailers |

Direct Mail Postcards
Plan Postal Requirements Before Finalizing the Artwork
Postcards can be used for direct-mail advertising, customer outreach and neighborhood campaigns, but mailing requirements depend on the selected dimensions and postal method.
Before completing a mailed postcard design, confirm the recipient address area, postage method, return address, barcode clearance and any required postal clear zones.
- Confirm mailing class and postage method
- Reserve enough space for the recipient address
- Include a return address when required
- Keep important artwork out of barcode and postage areas
- Confirm the selected size works with the intended mailing method
Real Estate Postcards
Promote Listings, Open Houses and Neighborhood Services
Real estate professionals can use postcards for new listings, recently sold homes, open houses, agent introductions, market updates, home-value campaigns and neighborhood farming.
A strong real estate postcard should lead with one compelling property image or headline, followed by essential information, clear contact details and one direct next step.
- New listings
- Open houses
- Recently sold properties
- Agent introductions
- Market updates
- Home-value offers
- Neighborhood farming
