Full-color postcards start at $33.44, and you can order any quantity from 100 to 25,000 per line item. Most orders are produced and shipped within 2 business days. Prices below are store prices. A postcard is the only mailing that delivers its message without being opened.
Most print companies make you build a cart or fill out a quote form to see a number. Here is ours, up front. Prices are for full-color printing on both sides and include standard turnaround.

Those are representative quantity breaks — any quantity from 100 to 25,000 per line item is orderable in the store, and the price updates live as you change the configuration. There is no order too small to take seriously and no order too large for our presses.
If you want addressing, postal sorting, mailing list purchase and drop-off handled end to end, a mail house does all of it and will beat doing it yourself.
We print the cards. The value is that they match your other material and that the price per piece at volume is published rather than quoted.
First orders are backed by our Money Back Satisfaction Guarantee, and our mistakes — cutting, quality, color shift, delays — get fixed, period. Read the guarantee in plain English →

That's an honest comparison — the mega printers really are cheaper on a single promotional order, and a good corner shop really does offer hands-on service. Our case is consistency: every printed piece tied into the same brand system as your digital presence.
Most orders ship in 2 business days. Covered by our guarantee.
We’d rather lose an order than have a disappointed customer. Don’t order from us if:
The message is visible without an envelope, which is the whole advantage over a letter. One offer, large, on the address side is read even by people who bin it.
Shop this configuration →Cheaper than a phone call and harder to ignore than an email. For any business on a service interval, this is the most reliable use of a postcard there is.
Shop this configuration →One postcard is a notification; three over a season is a campaign. Print the whole campaign at once — it is cheaper per piece and the sequence stays consistent.
Shop this configuration →Here's the actual sequence when you order: your file is checked by a person before anything prints — resolution, bleed, safe zones. If something's wrong, you hear from us with a fix, not a reprint bill. Production runs on commercial presses, not office equipment. You get tracking when it ships. If a deadline is tight, we tell you whether we can hit it before you pay — we've turned down orders we couldn't deliver on time rather than take the money and miss.

It cannot be ignored unopened. A letter has to survive the decision to open it; a postcard has already delivered its headline by the time it reaches the bin. Postage is usually lower too. A letter wins when the message is long or genuinely personal.
Keep most of it clear. Postal services need room for the address and their own markings, and a design that crowds that area gets rejected or delivered late. A short line and your logo is plenty — put the real work on the front.
The minimum is 100 and the maximum is 25,000 per line item. Any quantity in that range is orderable in the store, and per-unit cost drops as quantity rises.
Most orders are produced and shipped within 2 business days — your exact turnaround is confirmed on the product page before you pay.
If it's our error — improper cutting, print quality, color or print shift, or printing delays — we fix it, period. First-time retail customers are also covered by our Money Back Satisfaction Guarantee. Full details are on our guarantee page.
