What is the standard postcard size for USPS Direct Mail and EDDM rates?
To qualify for standard First-Class postcard postage rates, your postcard must be between 3.5″ x 5″ and 4.25″ x 6″. Larger sizes like 6″ x 9″ or 6″ x 11″ are popular for high impact, but they qualify under USPS Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) or letter-rate postage instead.
Our standard Cardstock provides a durable, economic choice for high-volume mailings. 100lb Cover offers a premium, sturdy weight with a semi-gloss sheen that makes images and colors pop. 100lb Uncoated Cover delivers the same substantial thickness with a smooth, glare-free finish—making it the best choice if you need to write on the back of the postcard with a pen.
Yes! To comply with USPS mailing regulations, leave an addressing area of at least 4″ wide by 2.25″ high in the bottom-right corner of the back side. You should also reserve a 1″ x 1″ space in the top-right corner for the postage stamp or Indicia, keeping these areas free of critical text or design elements.
