Postcards have three common sizes, 4” x 6”, 5” x 7”, and 5 ½” x 8 ½”. They are commonly printed on 12 point or 100# cover (card) stock.

Most printers will offer full color graphics and pictures on the front and black color for the back of your postcards. To protect the front color image and to make the postcards look nice, varnish coating, UV coating, or lamination will often be applied.

Research has shown that a postcard printed in full color (4 color process) will attract more attention than one printed in black & white (or two colors). Custom printed postcards are the fastest, easiest, and most economical way to dramatically increase your sales and profits.
