What stock is pearl paper postcards printed on?
Pearl Paper Postcards prints on a premium postcard cover stock chosen for durability and feel in the hand.
What sizes are available?
Standard sizes ship as 4×6, 5×7, and 6×9 inches. 4×6 is the USPS postcard rate; 5×7 and 6×9 price as letters. EDDM sizes (6.5×9, 6.5×11, 8.5×11) are quoted separately for neighbourhood direct-mail drops.
How should I set up my file?
Build at the final trim size plus 0.125" bleed on each edge. Keep important text and logos at least 0.125" inside the trim so the cutter doesn't graze them. Export as a press-ready PDF at 300 dpi in CMYK color space. Outline fonts before export to avoid font-substitution surprises.
Can I write on the postcard with a pen?
Not reliably. Coated postcards (gloss, UV, lamination) repel most pen inks. If you need to handwrite addresses or notes, pick a writable C1S variant where the back of the card is uncoated by design.
How long does printing take?
Production typically runs 3–5 business days once the file passes pre-flight, plus shipping time selected at checkout. Larger quantities don't add meaningful production time — most of the cycle is press setup, not press run.
Can these be mailed via USPS Every Door Direct Mail?
EDDM requires specific sizes (6.5×9, 6.25×11, 6.5×11, 6.25×12, 8.5×11) that are quoted as their own variants. Order in the standard sizes above for First-Class mail or hand-delivery; use the EDDM-eligible variants for neighbourhood drops at flat per-piece postage.
