Handouts, announcements and reminders
Postcards give an offer, listing announcement, invitation or customer reminder a focused format. Use them at an event, in a packet or on a counter, or plan a mailing to your audience.
Choose one purpose, a readable headline and a clear next step. Share where and how people will receive the cards so our Boise team can help compare formats.
Size, paper and postal fit
Choose the finished size and paper around your message, quantity, use and budget. Send a sample or previous job details if you want to match an earlier card.
For mailed pieces, confirm the dimensions, stock, addressing space and preparation before final artwork. A familiar postcard size does not automatically qualify for every postal program; review EDDM options before printing.
Artwork and proof review
Bring finished artwork or ask for design and file setup guidance. Tell us whether you need one or both sides printed. Allow for the required bleed and keep essential text clear of trim edges.
Check contact details, event dates, web links and QR-code destinations before approval. For a mailing, keep the address panel available and confirm the layout with our team.
Print-only or a complete mailing
Order printed cards for handouts or for mailing yourself. For a coordinated campaign, explore our postcard mailing services with list preparation and mailing support.
Printing, list work, mail preparation and postage affect the complete quote separately. Start with your audience and goal, then use our direct mail planning page to compare campaign approaches.
Postcard printing questions
Can I order postcards without mailing services?
Yes. Tell us whether they are for handouts, a display, an event or a mailing you will handle. We quote printing separately from mailing work. A handout does not need the same address-panel layout as a mailed card.
Which postcard size and paper should I choose?
Share the intended use, finished dimensions and a sample if matching an earlier card. For mailed cards, ask us to review the format and stock before production. Dimensions alone do not establish postal eligibility.
What files and project details do you need?
Send the artwork, quantity, finished size, printed sides and needed-by date or mailing timeline. Include required bleed and review the proof carefully. If your artwork is unfinished, explain what design help you need so we can quote the scope.
