Message density
Use a compact size for one clear offer or action. Move larger when the piece needs supporting detail, schedules, comparisons, or several response paths.
Postcard printing guide
Choose the postcard around the message and mailing plan.
Compare five production sizes without treating dimensions as the whole decision. Start with the audience, amount of content, visibility in the mailbox, and whether the piece will be mailed or distributed by hand.

Decisions that affect the useful format.
Mailbox visibility
Larger formats create more visual area, but the right choice still depends on audience, artwork, budget, and postal preparation rather than size alone.
Address and postal space
Reserve the address block, indicia, clear zones, and other mailing requirements before artwork is final. Job-specific postal review should happen early.
Print versus full mailing
The online calculator can compare supported print and mailing estimates. Lists, route plans, postage eligibility, and the final production schedule are confirmed with the job.
Standard production
Price supported specifications online.
