Details
Eco Friendly Printer prints postcards for direct mail, events and promotions on recycled paper with soy-based inks, including 100% post-consumer waste stocks. Realtors, new businesses and organizations use our postcards to reach customers by mail, and we can print a recycled or certification emblem on each card.
Sizes
- 4 x 6 in
- A6, 4.5 x 6.25 in
- 5 x 7 in
- 6 x 9 in
- 6 x 11 in
Only cards up to 4.25 x 6 in mail at the USPS postcard rate. Our postcard size guide lists dimensions, bleed and mailing rules for each size.
Why we recommend A6
An A6 postcard (4.5 x 6.25 in) is only slightly smaller than a 5 x 7 in card, but it prints more efficiently. We can fit 8 to 9 A6 cards on a 13 x 19 in sheet, about twice as many as a 5 x 7 in card, which can reduce your printing cost by close to half.
Paper and finishes
Postcard stocks include 14pt, 16pt, 100lb cover and 110lb cotton. Recycled content ranges from 30% to 100% post-consumer waste depending on the stock. Finishes include uncoated, matte, soft-touch and spot gloss, and we set up a USPS-compliant mailing panel for cards that will be mailed.
For folded cards with envelopes, see greeting cards. For larger mailers, see brochures.
How ordering works
Send your artwork, the size and the quantity, and let us know if the cards will be mailed. We will confirm the stock and give you a price. Most postcard orders are ready in one to two weeks from artwork approval.
