Have a promotion, event, direct mail campaign or customer announcement coming up quickly? PrintLocker provides same day postcard printing for businesses and organizations that need professionally printed postcards within a shorter production window.
Postcards are a practical format for getting a message directly into a customer's hands or mailbox. Businesses can use them for promotional offers, neighborhood marketing, event invitations, real estate campaigns, product announcements, customer follow-ups and direct mail.
When a campaign has a fixed launch date or an upcoming distribution schedule, waiting for a standard production timeline may not be ideal. Same day postcard production gives eligible projects a faster printing option, with availability depending on the selected size, quantity, artwork, finish and production requirements.
The postcard format and finish can influence both its appearance and how it is used. Choose an option based on your campaign objective, amount of information, distribution method and desired presentation.
Standard postcards offer a straightforward format for promotions, announcements, direct mail, event marketing and everyday business communication. Common sizes include 4×6 and 5×7, with additional custom sizes available.
Folded postcards provide additional space for messaging while keeping the finished piece compact. They can be useful for invitations, promotional campaigns, announcements and projects that require more content than a standard postcard can accommodate.
EDDM postcards are designed for neighborhood-focused direct mail campaigns. Their larger format can provide additional space for promotional messaging, offers, business information and calls to action.
Metallic postcards add a reflective appearance that can help certain colors, graphics and design elements create a distinctive visual effect. They can work well for premium promotions, special announcements and attention-focused campaigns.
Spot UV applies a glossy finish to selected areas of the postcard while leaving other portions with a contrasting surface. Logos, photographs, headlines or important design elements can be emphasized using this effect.
Raised Spot UV adds both gloss and physical dimension to selected parts of the design. It can be used to make logos, typography, graphics or other focal elements more noticeable.
Silk postcards feature a smooth, soft-touch surface that gives the printed piece a refined feel. This option can be suitable for professional branding, upscale promotions, invitations and campaigns where presentation matters.
Velvet postcards provide a soft, luxurious surface that creates a distinctive tactile experience. They can be considered for premium marketing campaigns, special announcements, invitations and branded communications.
Raised foil postcards combine a metallic foil appearance with a raised effect to create an attention-grabbing printed surface. They can be used for premium branding, special events, luxury promotions and high-impact direct mail.
Postcards can support campaigns where the message needs to be concise, visible and easy to distribute. The format works across different industries and marketing situations.
