Why 4.25" x 11" Flat Postcards Are a Smart Marketing Choice

The 4.25" x 11" postcard size hits a sweet spot in direct mail marketing. It's large enough to feature compelling visuals, bold headlines, and clear calls to action - yet compact enough to keep postage costs low and mailing practical. Here's why businesses choose this format:

• Cost-efficient mailing: Flat postcards avoid the extra weight and bulk of folded mailers, often resulting in lower postage rates per piece when mailed in bulk.
• High visibility: When recipients open their mailbox, a postcard stands out instantly - no envelopes, no opening required. The message is visible at first glance.
• Great for promotions and offers: Whether it's coupons, discounts, menus, or invitations, a postcard delivers a direct, easy-to-read message that doesn't require unfolding or navigation.
• Perfect for EDDM & bulk mail campaigns: The size and format works well for Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) campaigns, enabling you to reach every household in a route without addressing costs.
• Fast production & bulk savings: Because postcards are simple, flat pieces, printing large runs is efficient - and cost per piece decreases sharply with volume.

Our Printing Quality, Paper Stocks & Options

We understand that one size doesn't fit all. That's why our postcard printing service offers multiple options so your mailing looks exactly how you want:

• Cardstock weight: Choose from lightweight 80 lb cards for economical mass mailings up to heavier 110-130 lb cards for premium feel and durability.
• Finish options: Gloss, satin, or matte finishes - perfect for vivid photography, professional branding, or elegant marketing pieces.
• Full-color printing: CMYK printing ensures vivid, sharp colors for logos, images, maps, coupons, and promotional graphics.
• Bulk orders & discounts: Whether you need 500 postcards or 50,000+, our pricing structure ensures that you get the best per-piece rate at every quantity level.

Tips for Maximizing Response with Postcard Mailers

• Use bold headlines and offers - strong contrast with large text immediately draws attention.
• Include a clear call-to-action (CTA) - phone, website, coupon code, or QR code to track responses.
• Use high-quality images or graphics - good visuals increase engagement and perceived value.
• Use urgent time-bound offers (e.g., "Offer ends in 7 days") to encourage quick action.
• Track responses - add coupon codes, unique URLs, or phone numbers to measure ROI and campaign success.
