    What are the size limits for first-class postcards?

    All postcards are not created equal, at least in the eyes of the USPS. In order to qualify for the special first-class postcard rate, a card must be rectangular in shape, at least 3.5 inches high x 5 inches long x 0.007 inches thick, and no more than 6 inches high x 9 inches long x 0.016 inches thick. Postcards that do not meet these regulations are treated as normal mail.

    So why would you consider a different size for your postcard? For starters, a larger size stands out better in a pile of mail. It also offers added real estate for offers, images, and text about your products and services.

    If you're not concerned about meeting the USPS guidelines for postcard rates, you might consider a slightly larger postcard (5 x 7 or 5.5 x 8.5) to take advantage of these added benefits.

  3. *Color Options

    ?

    Which color option should I choose?


    Most postcards are printed full-color on both sides, particularly those that include color images. If your postcards don't contain color images or only have them on one side, you might consider a different option instead.

    Full-color printing provides the maximum impact and visual appeal for most postcards. However, if your budget is tight, a well-conceived one-color design can prove an acceptable alternative.

  4. *Paper Choices

    ?

    What paper should I choose?

    100 lb. Uncoated is an economical option, suitable for text. However, it does not reproduce graphics or photographs well.

    100 lb. Matte is a heavyweight paper with a dull, smooth finish that handles print graphics well.

    130 lb. Gloss is an elegant, heavyweight paper with a smooth, glossy finish that's perfect for high-impact graphics and photographic reproduction.

  5. *Shrink Wrapping

    ?

    What are the benefits of shrink-wrapping?


    Shrink-wrapping protects against humidity, dust, and dirt; prevents damage from bending, tearing, or folding; and keeps printed items well-organized, under control, and easy to maintain. Printed materials are far easier to transport and store when they're shrink-wrapped together, rather than stacked loosely in a pile.

  6. *Protective Coating

    ?

    What is Aqueous Coating?

    Aqueous coating is a clear, fast-drying, water-based coating that is used to protect your print pieces from dirt, fingerprints, and the bumps and tears of daily life. It adds a rich quality to any piece, provides a durable, yet high-gloss, satin/soft-touch finish, and is an excellent choice for your frequently handled print items. This coating option is the least expensive finishing option and is more resistant to paper cracking marks when folded.

    What is UV Coating?

    UV coating is a protective coating applied to a printed sheet, then bonded and cured with ultraviolet light. This high-gloss coating is very shiny and durable, protecting products that are handled frequently and reflecting light in an eye-catching way. A unique feature of UV coating is that it can be applied as a spot, meaning you could select which areas you would like coated, whereas aqueous coating is applied as a “flood” or over the entire piece.
