Postcard printing is one of the most proven and cost-effective direct mail marketing tools available. Unlike emails that get filtered or digital ads that scroll past, a printed postcard lands physically in your customer's hands - no envelope to open, no subject line to compete with. Your message is seen immediately, which is why postcards consistently deliver some of the highest response rates in direct marketing.
At Copies America, we offer two postcard products to match any timeline and quality requirement. Quick Postcards for campaigns that cannot wait, and premium 16pt Postcards for brands that want a thicker, more substantial card that makes a stronger physical impression. Both are available in four standard USPS-mailable sizes with full-color printing, gloss or matte coating, and nationwide shipping on every order.
Professionally printed full-color postcards on an accelerated timeline for promotions, events, and campaigns that cannot wait. Printed on 14pt cardstock with gloss or matte coating - the same quality as our standard postcards, prioritized in production for the fastest possible turnaround. All four sizes meet USPS mailing standards.
| Sizes | 4" x 6", 5" x 7", 6" x 9", 6" x 11" |
| Paper Stock | 14pt C2S Cardstock |
| Coating | Gloss UV or Matte |
| Turnaround | Rush - prioritized production |
Premium 16pt cardstock postcards with a noticeably heavier, more substantial feel than standard 14pt. The extra weight creates a stronger physical impression that signals quality from the first touch. Full-color printing on both sides with gloss or matte coating. Preferred for real estate, hospitality, retail, and any brand where premium presentation is part of the message. All sizes USPS mailable.
| Sizes | 4" x 6", 5" x 7", 6" x 9", 6" x 11" |

Both products are available in the same four sizes and both meet USPS mailing standards. The key differences are production speed and cardstock weight.

The 6" x 9" is the most popular direct mail postcard size - it qualifies for standard postcard postage rates, stands out well in a residential mailbox, and gives you enough design space for strong imagery and a clear call to action. The 4" x 6" qualifies for the lowest postcard postage rate and works well for high-volume campaigns on a tight budget. The 6" x 11" delivers maximum visual impact for campaigns where stand-out matters more than postage cost.
Choose Quick Postcards when your deadline is tight and you need cards in hand as fast as possible. Choose 16pt Postcards when you have time to plan and want a thicker, more premium card that makes a stronger physical impression. The 16pt stock is especially recommended for real estate, hospitality, luxury retail, and any brand where the quality of the physical piece is part of the brand message.
Yes. All four sizes (4" x 6", 5" x 7", 6" x 9", and 6" x 11") meet USPS size and thickness requirements for mailing. For your postcard back design, include a clear address block on the right side, postage area in the top right corner, and a return address in the top left. Contact us if you need guidance on EDDM (Every Door Direct Mail) or bulk mail options.
Gloss UV coating produces vivid, eye-catching colors and sharp images - the best choice for photo-driven designs, restaurant promotions, retail offers, and any campaign where grabbing visual attention is the goal. Matte coating has a refined, non-reflective finish with a sophisticated feel - preferred for real estate, professional services, and luxury brands. Both are equally durable for direct mail handling.
Submit a print-ready PDF at 300 DPI in CMYK color mode. Add 0.125" bleed on all four sides. For a 4" x 6" postcard your file with bleed should be 4.25" x 6.25". For 6" x 9" use 6.25" x 9.25". Keep all text and logos at least 0.125" from the trim edge and outline all fonts before saving. If mailing, include a USPS-compliant address layout on the back side.
