Uncoated Postcards

Uncoated postcards

A natural finish that puts the design—and the message—first

Uncoated postcards offer a distinctly different look and feel from glossy or heavily finished cards. Printed on substantial 14pt uncoated cardstock with no added coating, they have a clean, understated surface that works beautifully for branding, photography, illustrations, invitations, handwritten notes, and business communications.

The lack of coating gives the cardstock a more natural tactile quality while making it easier to write on when a personal message, appointment reminder, signature, or short note needs to be added after printing.

Whether you're creating business postcards, customer thank-you pieces, event announcements, promotional mailers, or personalized designs, our uncoated postcard printing gives you a professional format without the shine of coated stock.

Choose the right size for your custom postcards

Each format gives you a different amount of space to work with, so the best choice depends on your message and design.

4" × 6" postcards

4"× 6" postcards are compact, familiar, and easy to distribute. They work especially well for:

• Promotional handouts
• Appointment reminders
• Thank-you messages
• Event announcements
• Simple direct mail pieces
• Coupons and offers

A 4" × 6" format is a strong choice when you want a concise message without unnecessary space.

5" × 7" postcards

A 5" × 7" postcard provides more room for photography, branding, and longer messages while remaining compact enough for easy distribution.

Popular uses include:

• Custom photo postcards
• Invitations
• Save-the-date cards
• Customer appreciation pieces
• Real estate marketing
• Holiday and seasonal messages

8.5" × 5.5" postcards

The 8.5" × 5.5" format gives businesses more room to communicate offers, services, schedules, or campaign details.

It's particularly useful for:

• Promotional postcards
• Postcard flyers
• Business announcements
• Product launches
• Event promotions
• Service menus
• Larger direct mail campaigns

Business postcards that encourage a personal connection

Postcards do not always need to function as traditional advertisements.

A financial advisor may send a short handwritten follow-up after a meeting. A real estate agent can mail a thank-you message after closing. A boutique can include a card inside an order. A photographer can turn a favorite image into a custom photo postcard with space for a personal note.

Service businesses can use them for reminders and follow-ups, while restaurants, retailers, nonprofits, schools, and professional offices can use postcards to communicate directly with customers without making every piece feel like a flyer.

The uncoated surface works particularly well when printed branding and human interaction need to share the same piece.

Uncoated postcards for direct mail and business marketing

Postcards remain useful because the message can be seen immediately without opening an envelope.

For local businesses, postcards for business marketing can promote openings, seasonal offers, service reminders, events, property listings, and customer appreciation campaigns.

The uncoated finish adds another advantage: businesses can personalize individual pieces after printing. A handwritten name or brief message can make a bulk campaign feel considerably more personal without requiring every postcard to be individually designed.

Why professional uncoated postcard printing matters

A postcard may be physically small, but it still represents your business.

Sturdy cardstock, clean printing, accurate colors, and properly prepared artwork help ensure your message looks intentional rather than disposable. This is especially important for business postcard printing, where recipients may form an impression of the company before ever visiting its website or making contact.

Professional uncoated postcard printing gives you a durable, tactile piece that can work equally well as advertising, correspondence, or branded collateral.
