Postcards are the hardest-working small piece in print: appointment reminders, save-the-dates, new-location announcements, thank-you notes and mailers to your own list.
If you are mailing to every door on a route with Every Door Direct Mail, the piece has to meet USPS flat size rules instead; see EDDM postcards.

Files and proofs

Questions
Can these go through the mail?
Yes. A 4 x 6 inch card can mail at the USPS postcard rate; larger cards mail as letters. Check current USPS sizes and prices before you design.
Do postcards for EDDM need a special size?
Yes. EDDM pieces must meet USPS flat size rules. See our EDDM postcards page.
