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.

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.
