Quick Postcards vs. 16pt Postcards

Quick Postcards

Speed is the Priority

Prioritized production on 14pt cardstock for the fastest possible turnaround. Same full-color CMYK printing and gloss or matte coating - the only difference is speed. Choose expedited shipping for fastest delivery to your door.

16pt Postcards

Premium Quality is the Priority

Our 16pt postcards are printed on noticeably thicker cardstock with a more substantial feel. The premium weight makes a stronger physical impression and signals higher brand quality. The better choice for planned campaigns where presentation matters most.

When to Choose

Our Recommendation

Choose Quick when your deadline is tight and delivery speed matters most. Choose 16pt when you have time to plan and want the best possible impression - for real estate, high-end retail, and premium brand campaigns.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can I receive my Quick Postcards?

Quick Postcards are prioritized in our production queue for the fastest available turnaround. For the fastest possible delivery, submit your print-ready artwork early in the day and select an expedited shipping option at checkout. Contact us at 1-800-423-2679 if you have a specific hard deadline and we will advise on the best option available.

Are Quick Postcards suitable for USPS direct mail?

Yes. All Quick Postcard sizes (4" x 6", 5" x 7", 6" x 9", and 6" x 11") meet USPS size and thickness requirements for First Class and Standard postcard mail rates. Make sure your back-side design includes a clear address area on the right side and postage area in the top right corner to comply with USPS layout standards.

What is the difference between Quick Postcards and 16pt Postcards?

Quick Postcards are printed on 14pt cardstock and prioritized for the fastest production timeline. Our 16pt Postcards are printed on thicker 16pt cardstock that has a noticeably heavier, more premium feel in the hand. Choose Quick when speed is the priority. Choose 16pt when the quality of the physical card matters most for your campaign.

Can I print on both sides of the postcard?

Yes. Quick Postcards are available in single-sided (front only) and double-sided printing. If mailing, the back side should follow USPS layout standards: address area on the right, postage area in the top right corner, and a return address in the top left. The left portion of the back is available for your marketing message or imagery.

How do I set up my postcard file?

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.
