Flat postcards can have a standard size of 4”x6", 4.25”x6", 5”x7", 5.5”x8.5", 6”x9", or 6”x11", or a custom size ranging from 4”x4” to 6”x11”. The standard size for folded postcards depends on the type of folding (Half-Fold or Tri-Fold). The custom size for folded postcards can range from 5”x7” to 11”x17”. We use the 14 pt. cardstock, gloss or matte, and the 13 pt. cardstock, uncoated as the paper stocks for flat postcards. For folded postcards, the paper stocks available are the 10 pt. cardstock, gloss and matte.
Our digital printer can print 50 to 200 flat postcards and have a printing turnaround of 1 or 2 business days. We use our offset printers to print 500 to 100,000 flat postcards and have a printing turnaround of 1 to 3 business days, or 250 to 100,000 folded postcards and have a printing turnaround of 2 or 3 business days.
When mailing your postcards, you can set the mailing quantity and the postage options. The postage options available depend on the postcard’s specs. 4”x6” and 4.25”x6” flat postcards can have the First Class Card Rate postage option. For 4.5”x6” to 6”x11” flat postcards, folded postcards and postcards in envelopes, the postage options available are the First Class Letter Rate and Standard Bulk Rate. After selecting a postage option, you may check the USPS postage rates and the delivery times-in-transit. The mailing preparation may add 2 to 3 business days to the production turnaround.
In our design gallery, you can pick any premade design template and use it as your postcard design. You can also customize the design by using our online design tool. Add your text and images to the design for a more personal touch. Alternatively, you can have your postcard design by starting from scratch and let our online design tool guide you through the whole design process.
Once you have your design, submit it to us to get an online proof. This is a free service by My Postcard Printing, where your design is thoroughly examined by our prepress team to make sure that there are no problems regarding technical issues, and that your postcards are print-ready.

Amazing customer service. Definitely appreciated everything from the online team to the phone team. Thanks!
One of the best and easiest ordering sites I've seen. I enjoy the experience!
I looked at several other websites for postcards online. Yours was by far the easiest to manuver and to upload and submit my file. I appreciate the fact that you will review it prior to producing the postcards. Very important customer service step. The other sites wanted so many specs resolved prior to uploading I did not even bother to try. Thanks!
The ease of designing online and using your templates was fantastic. Your design team resized my original file after I messed up and it looks great.
