Postcard Sizes and Paper Options
At Grafix Media, we offer options for various paper sizes and paper types.
Paper Size
Our postcard sizes are designed to match different marketing needs while keeping your message clear and effective. The 4″ x 6″ size is a popular choice for budget campaigns and mass direct mailing. It is compact, easy to distribute, and still offers enough space to deliver a clear message. If you need more room, the 5″ x 7″ size provides added space for invitations, event announcements, and more detailed content. It stands out in the mailbox and gives you more flexibility for creative layouts. For larger campaigns, the 5.5″ x 8.5″ size makes a strong impact. This option works well for high impact marketing, detailed promotions, bold graphics, and content that needs extra space to communicate clearly.
Paper Types
80 lb. Coated Cover: This paper has a smooth, glossy finish, enhancing colors and making images pop. It’s the best choice for vibrant, high-impact postcards.
80 lb. Uncoated Cover: This uncoated paper gives a more classic and elegant feel. This paper is the best to write on and gives your postcards a refined, sophisticated look.
100 lb. Coated Cover: This thicker coated paper adds a touch of durability while maintaining a glossy finish. It’s perfect for postcards that need to stand out and withstand handling.
100 lb. Uncoated Cover: This option combines thickness and a smooth finish, making it perfect for high-end, professional postcards. It’s easy to write on and has a sturdy feel.
Additional Options
To add that extra touch of professionalism and durability, we offer two additional services for an extra cost:
UV Coating: UV coating gives your postcards a shiny, protective finish. This coating enhances colors, making them more vibrant and eye-catching. It also protects against scratches and wear, ensuring your postcards look great for longer.
Soft-Touch Lamination: This special lamination gives your postcards a luxurious, velvety feel. It adds a subtle matte finish that exudes sophistication. Soft-touch lamination also protects against fingerprints and smudges, keeping your postcards pristine.
Popular Uses for Custom Postcards
Promotional postcard campaigns remain a simple and effective way to reach your audience. Businesses across Canada use postcard printing for marketing, customer engagement, and local outreach. Many companies create Canada postcard souvenirs or branded gifts to build recognition and leave a lasting impression. Postcards also work well for local event announcements, helping you promote openings, sales, or community events with clear, direct messaging. In real estate marketing, agents rely on postcards to showcase listings, announce open houses, and stay visible in key neighborhoods. In addition, loyalty and thank-you cards help strengthen customer relationships and encourage repeat business. When used as direct mail postcards, they support targeted outreach by delivering your message straight to the right audience at the right time.
Designing Tips
Keep your postcard design simple and focused. A clean layout often performs better than a cluttered one, so highlight your main message and avoid adding too much text or too many images. Use high-quality, high-resolution images to ensure your postcards look sharp and professional, as blurry or pixelated visuals can reduce credibility. Choose clear, easy-to-read fonts and limit the number of font styles to maintain a consistent and polished look. If you are using postcards for marketing, include a strong call to action such as a special offer, website link, or phone number to guide the reader’s next step. Finally, proofread your design carefully before printing. Small spelling or grammar errors can affect how professional your postcard appears.
