Read the price by the piece, not the box
Comparing printers by the total hides the real number. A box of 2,500 4″ × 6″ postcards costs $179 here, about seven cents a card, and 10,000 cost $429, about four cents a card.
That drop is the buy one, get one effect. You pay for 1,000, 2,500 or 5,000 cards and receive two and a half or two times as many, so every step up the tiers lowers the cost of each card.
Choosing a size for the budget you have
The 4″ × 6″ card is the bargain, ideal for handing out or mailing to an existing customer list. It is too small for Every Door Direct Mail, though, because USPS only accepts flats on that service.
For EDDM, the 6.5″ × 9″ card at $379 for 2,500 is the usual sweet spot. The 4.25″ × 11″ card is cheaper at $349, while 6″ × 11″ and 9″ × 12″ buy more space for a photo and a bold offer.
Mailing to every door on a route
With EDDM you pick carrier routes and USPS delivers to each address on them, no list needed. Five of our sizes qualify, and the EDDM page compares them side by side.
Postage is a separate bill paid to USPS. Run your household count through the EDDM cost calculator to see printing and postage together.
Stock and finish
Every size prints in full color on both sides of 16pt card, thick enough to survive sorting machines and stand up in a mail stack. Choose UV gloss for punchy photos or matte when you want a softer look that takes a pen.
Free pieces come off the same press sheet as the ones you pay for, so the whole run matches.
Design on a budget
Have a print-ready PDF? There is no design charge. If not, our designers build the card for $69 on sizes up to 4.25″ × 11″ and $89 on 6.5″ × 9″ and larger, and you approve a proof before printing.
