“One of the few places that hasn't messed up a print order for us, and was very affordable. Quality was good, colors were clear, albeit about 10-15% darker than on my screen which is typical tbh. Cutting and folding was also good. no rips or wrinkles or creases. Only thing I'd say is shipping left something to be desired. The printed post cards were just lined into a box with essentially zero protection in the form of plastic or paper to cushion and protect them.
Pay close attention to your proofs, make sure everything looks good, and I'd gamble that you shouldn't have any major issues.”

“I will definitely recommend print place to everyone. They were easy to use, transparent with pricing and had great communication. I made a mistake with my order and someone called me to verify that was what I meant to do. Great, friendly staff!”

“Website was great, customer support was great, actually postcard looked so good.... I was geeked! I just wish I realized they would need to be mailed as regular mail ($0.50) and not a postcard ($0.35). Would still recommend to friends...”
Meet Your Customer at Home With Half-fold Postcards
Create affordable and high-quality half-fold postcards that customers will be delighted to receive. Choose from seven sizes that provide twice the amount of space of a standard postcard. Have your message unfold on a larger width or add perforations for exclusive discounts. Send them straight to your customer’s door or hand them out in your establishment. Either way, your recipients will stay focused on your personalized messaging.
How to Create Custom Half-Fold Postcards
Choose a size that effectively reveals your message.
The available sizes are indicated in their flat, unfolded dimensions. Below are the folded measurements based on the listed sizes, specified as height by width:
Bring out the boldness or elegance of your postcard’s colors with lamination coating.
Three protective options are available, each offering a special effect that enhances your half-fold postcard design.
- Matte gives a chic, satin-like finish to your text and images. It has the least glare among the protective coatings. Colors come out muted, perfect for pastel or neutral-hued designs.
- The gloss has a vibrant shine that increases the brightness of the printed colors. Recommended for messages that need to stand out at first glance.
- High-gloss UV provides an added shine and extra vibrancy to your postcard. Suited for bold and daring color combinations.
Check out this article for more information on the lamination coatings.
Upgrade the tactile experience with durable cardstock choices.
Your postcards are printed on two types of sturdy cardstock:
- 10 pt. cardstock – A lightweight cardstock you can hand out in-store for customers. Allows for easy foldability and immediate storage.
- 14 pt. cardstock – The standard cardstock used for US business cards. Sturdy enough to withstand multiple handling but easy to carry around.
Add customizable options to engage your customers.
Inspire interaction with your custom postcards. Under the “Advanced Options” on the online calculator, you can add perforations for recipients to tear off and bring to your store for special discounts.
If your tear-off promo needs to be in a specific size, add a Custom Trim and indicate the dimensions for its height and width. The dimensions should be a size smaller than the flat, unfolded postcard.
Tabbing adds translucent, round wafer seals to protect the inside of your folded postcard. All open edges are kept closed, which adds to the unraveling experience of your half-fold postcard.
Order in bulk printing to save more per unit. You can order at least 25 postcards, but you’ll spend less on each postcard with a higher-order quantity.

Half-Fold Postcard Marketing and Design Ideas
Half-fold postcards make a great alternative to brochures. You can even use pre-existing brochure designs and easily convert them into a potent direct mail tool. Printed on premium gloss or uncoated card stock, half-fold postcards give you plenty of space to market your message, yet fold for easy (and inexpensive) mailing. These same qualities also make them an excellent option for postcard invitations.Take advantage of the added space and include a perforated tear-stub for coupons or reply mail on your bifold postcard design. Get creative and design something with your customers in mind. Whether it’s a comment card, survey form, or order form, a reply card gives your customers an easy way to respond to your advertisement, which will increase your ROI.
