About Postcard Printing and Mailing

We've been the postcard printing experts since 1981, which means we have 40 years experience in creating direct mail postcards that not only look and feel great, but are also effective. Our customers turn to us year after year because we deliver expert quality postcards that help them win their campaigns.

Our standard postcards are printed full color both sides on 130# gloss coated cover, which is a heavy paper stock with a glossy coating. They are then UV coated to provide a protective laminate that gives your graphics a dynamic, eye-catching finish.

Looking to mail your postcards? We can handle that, too. Each week, we mail over a million postcards and provide USPS postage discounts for our customers. Simply select "Include Mailing Services" under the mail services tab, and our team will process your mail list, address, sort, and bundle your postcards, then deliver them to the USPS. Postage is additional and will be invoiced after list processing.

Postcards FAQ

Do you offer custom sizes for postcards?
Yes, we offer custom sizes. Call 1-800-227-7377 to speak with a friendly sales associate and learn more about custom size postcards.

Can you mail my postcards for me?
Yes, we offer complete mailing services to help you save both time and money with your direct mail campaigns. Our services include list processing (includes CASS and NCOA certification), addressing, sorting, bundling, and delivery to USPS (postage additional). To order mailing services with your postcards, simply select “Include Mailing Services” under the mailing services option on our instant postcard pricing calculator. After you place your order, our mailing team will process your mail list and send you a separate invoice for the postage based on live USPS postal rates.

What are common options for mailing?
Most commonly, customers will submit their own mail list to U.S. Press and we will mail your postcards as a bulk mailer either at the Presort Standard Rate or First Class Rate, depending on your preference. Alternatively, if customers do not have a mail list, EDDM is a popular choice. EDDM stands for Every Door Direct Mail and is a service by USPS that allows you to mail to each household on a route(s) without having to obtain a targeted mailing list of recipients.

Proofing: After you place your order and upload your artwork, our prepress team will begin inspecting your files to ensure your document size, bleed lines, margins, image resolution, and more are correct in order for the best print quality. They will email you a soft proof (PDF) for your approval prior to printing. Most proofs are sent within 1 business day of order placement; more complex art files can sometimes take longer. Soft proofing is an easy way to see what your finished product will look like and make sure the content is correct. However, soft proofing is not intended for exact color matching. Every monitor displays color differently, and on backlit screens, colors may appear lighter than the actual colors contained in your files. If color matching is critical, please give us a call at 800-227-7377 to order a hard proof.

Production Time: Production time begins after proof approval and is the time required to produce your order before it ships. It is calculated in business days, starting at the next occurrence of 9:00 AM Eastern on the 1st business day after the proof is approved. U.S. Press is closed Saturdays, Sundays and all major holidays; thus, these days are not included in the production schedule.

Shipping Transit Time: Once production is complete, your order will ship out via the shipping method you select at checkout. All of our orders ship from our location in Valdosta, Georgia. The transit map below shows expected transit time from our plant in Valdosta to your location based on FedEx Ground shipping. Alternatively, you can select an expedited shipping method (FedEx Express Saver - 3 business day transit), FedEx 2nd Day Air (2 business day transit), or FedEx Overnight Standard (1 business day transit).

Save time by using our guideline templates. Our templates have been setup with proper bleeds and margins and an optional mail panel, assuring your print job turns out accurate. To download, select an orientation (landscape or portrait) and postcard size.
