Quick & Short Run Postcards

Use a rectangular postcard when the message, mailing format or artwork benefits from a traditional landscape or portrait proportion. Use the matching horizontal or vertical template.

Square postcards create a balanced format for invitations, announcements, promotions and handouts where equal width and height support the design.

Use these larger postcard or card formats when the project needs more message area than a conventional postcard. Mailing eligibility should be confirmed for the selected size.

Use when the main artwork, promotion or mailing message is printed in full color on the front while the reverse remains blank.

Keep the primary side in full color while using grayscale on the reverse for mailing information, terms, instructions or supporting content.

Use full color on both sides when the front and reverse are both part of the finished design or message.

Choose grayscale when the postcard is intentionally monochrome. The selected estimator configuration determines whether grayscale prints on the front only or both sides.

Smooth coated cardstock for bright color, photography and promotional graphics.

Low-glare coated cardstock with a softer professional surface.

Writable low-sheen cardstock with a natural paper feel.

Coated on one side with a more writable uncoated reverse.

Coated on both sides for consistent color and smooth handling.

Use colored, pastel or natural stocks when the paper tone itself should contribute to the design.

Use linen when a subtle textured finish adds a more formal or tactile appearance.

Durable non-paper media for projects that need better moisture and handling resistance.

Use when every postcard prints the same text, images and design.

Use Variable Data when text or codes change from postcard to postcard while the main design remains consistent.

Keeps the selected cardstock surface exposed with no added laminate or metallic foil treatment.

Adds shine and surface protection, helping photographs and rich color look more vivid while making the cards easier to wipe clean.

Creates a smooth, tactile premium feel with reduced glare—well suited for higher-end decks, collector cards and presentation sets.

Metallic gold accents add contrast and perceived value to logos, borders, names, numbers or selected design details over soft-touch lamination.

Metallic silver creates a clean reflective accent for modern, technical, sports or premium card designs over soft-touch lamination.

Use a conventional straight-cut finished shape when no custom silhouette is required.

Use a contour cut when the postcard needs a custom silhouette. A production-ready cut path is required.

Maintains the conventional straight-cut corner profile for a crisp, standard finished piece.

Creates a subtle softened edge while keeping the overall shape close to a standard rectangle.

Produces a more noticeable curve for a softer, more contemporary finished profile.

Rounds only the top-left and bottom-right corners while the other two remain square, creating an asymmetric specialty look.

Use when counted bundles are unnecessary and normal finished packaging is sufficient for storage or distribution.

Creates counted wrapped bundles that simplify inventory, storage, multi-location distribution and internal handling.

Best for planned projects where the schedule allows normal production flow and no rush handling is required.

A good middle ground when the project is time-sensitive but still allows a short production window.

Designed for urgent, production-ready projects when the selected size, stock and finishing qualify for next-day completion.

The fastest estimator option for eligible work that arrives production-ready before the applicable cutoff.

Submit the production file immediately when the PDF or other approved artwork is complete and ready for prepress review.

Build the estimate or order first when the artwork is still being finalized, then provide the production file afterward.

Use our team when artwork needs to be created, repaired, resized, adjusted or prepared correctly for production.
