Thick, full-color postcards that get noticed and kept
Postcards are the simplest way to put your message in someone's hand. We print them on thick, rigid cardstock in full color, so they survive the mail, stand up on a counter and feel worth keeping.

Why Sprinting postcards
Built for the mailbox and the counter
- 14 pt cardstock is as thick as a quality business card, so cards arrive crisp, not bent
- 12 sizes, from 3" x 5" reminder cards to 9" x 12" jumbo mailers
- Front only, or add a full-color back for your details and address panel
- Uncoated stock takes pen and ink, so you can address and sign by hand

Mailing
Sending them by mail?
4" x 6" (and up to 4.25" x 6") qualifies for the lowest USPS postcard rate. Larger cards like 6" x 9" and 6" x 11" mail at letter rates and stand out in the mailbox, and anything bigger than 6.125" x 11.5" mails as a flat. 3" x 5" is below the USPS minimum, so mail it in an envelope.
Leave the lower right of the back clear for the address and postage.
