This size qualifies for direct mail campaigns and is one of the most widely used direct mail sizes as it is larger than the average mail piece found in mailboxes, making your message stand out. It also offers a large enough canvas to display your message in detail while still including eye-catching images, a call to action, and other design elements.

Quantity Details: 500 postcards sized at 6x9 equals around $0.29 per postcard, providing you with an affordable and budget-friendly way to reach a relatively large audience, whether that be your customers or potential ones. In addition, this quantity qualifies for bulk mail discounts through Standard or First-Class Mail, allowing you to mail your large mailing at a lower cost.

Paper Details: The standard paper stock for postcards is the Conquest Preferred 14pt C2S cover stock. This paper option follows the USPS weight and mailing requirements as it is durable enough to withstand the mailing process. In addition, this stock is one of the thicker options when it comes to paper, providing you with high-quality, professional material to promote your message and brand in a way that won’t forgotten.

Additional Specifications: You have options beyond just size and quantity when you order your postcards. For one, you can print in full color on one or both sides of the postcard, you can choose to use a coating like a UV gloss coating for an add glossy and protective layer, and you can also take advantage of Variable Data Printing which allows you to personalize each postcard for each recipient.
