Product details
A substantial postcard format for campaigns that deserve to be kept.
- Five finished sizes from 3 × 4 in to 6 × 9 in
- Durable 14 pt cardstock
- Gloss or matte finish
- Front-only or front-and-back printing
- 0.125 in bleed on every side
- 300 DPI print-ready artwork
Five useful formats
Choose 3 × 4 in for compact inserts, 4 × 6 in for the familiar postcard format, 5 × 7 in for invitations, 4 × 9 in for rack-card style mailers, or 6 × 9 in for a larger promotional canvas.
14 pt gloss or matte stock
The sturdy 14 pt card stock feels substantial in hand. Gloss adds a brighter reflective surface for saturated imagery, while matte keeps glare lower and gives text-heavy layouts a quieter finish.
Designed to print cleanly
Every size uses a 0.125 inch bleed on all four sides. Extend backgrounds through the bleed and keep important text or logos at least 0.125 inch inside the finished trim.
Proof before production
Use Studio to switch sizes, prepare front and back artwork, and review the selected finish mockup. Production starts after payment and final proof approval.
