Cheap EDDM® Postcards Printing Physical Guidelines 

Paper: Best quality 14pt Thick Glossy paper is used for the printing of our EDDM® eligible postcards, but other papers are available upon request including the 16pt thicker paper, we encourage you to stick to the standard paper as many customers face difficulties at their local USPS® store when using thinner or thicker paper stock.

Size: We print anywhere from 6.5" x 8" up to 9" x 12" to stay within the most accepted postcard format for the Every Door Direct Mail program.

Quantity: As much as we wish to be able to print just the exact amount of postcards needed for the campaign, with our gang-run printing methods that is not possible. So we limit the quantities to the most common ones as they are: 250, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000, and 10000, it continues to increment by 5000 until we have a maximum printing quantity of 100,000 units.

Shape: For the shape of the flyer, they require a rectangular finish with four square corners and/or specially finished cor­ners that will not exceed a total radius of 1/8". This is not for you to worry about, as 55printing is already taking care of this requirement during the confection of your order.

Glossiness: As standard, all of our postcards are printed with a thin Aquoaus Coating film that protects the flyer from water, sun, and other factors. This is completely fine with the requirements and acceptance of the flyers. UV (UltraViolet) protection is also available and accepted by the USPS.

Difference Between Direct Mail and EDDM?

It is very easy to differentiate one from the other, as they serve very different purposes, and depending on your market, one will serve you better than the other.

Direct Mail Postcards: Best for customers with a mailing list, name, and address is required for the use of direct mail postcards. Each flyer should be written by hand or by a printer with the exact mailing information of the recipient, before being handed to the USPS® for mailing.

EDDM® Postcards: Best for customers that are starting to market their business for a local approach or to expand their current service area without investing a big amount of money and without all the complications related to getting an active, real and accurate mailing list.

How to make an effective design for my low-cost EDDM® Postcard campaign?

Campaign Purpose: We always recommend staying in to focus on the purpose of the flyer. For most cases, we encourage to display a direct call-to-action design in the front only of the postcard and leave the back for contact details along with the indicia and USPS® labels. This way, by the time the customer grabs your flyer, will identify immediately what side of the flyer is the correct one for the promotion or message you want to communicate.

Keep it Readable: A clean and easy to read/see flyer has more impact than a clustered flyer. Make sure to stick just to the essentials, large text, large clean images and include something related to the demographic area you are targeting which is always a good idea to catch a customer's attention. It is always a good idea to research first the demographic colors, flags, most common activities, and anything related to the area for a higher impact graphic design.

Keep it short: We all know that there is a lot to tell about a product or a service, but we need to keep it to a minimum on the amount of text and amount of images used especially on the front side of your EDDM® postcard design. Remember that the recipient should understand the main purpose of the flyer with a glance, and if interested, then they will go deeper to read the content in it.

What information is requested to fill the EDDM® bundle slips?

Not much information is required to fill out the bundle slips. This is the list of questions shown with every slip:

  1. ZIP
    (Target area)
  2. Delivery type (residential or business address)
  3. Route number (provided at USPS® mapping tool)
  4. Drop off the date of your EDDM® postcards to the local USPS®
  5. Number of mailers per bundle (Depending on demographics)
  6. Number of mailers per bundle (How many different recipients per package)
  7. The total number of bundles (Total amount of packages to mail)

Commun questions about our cheap Every Door Direct Mail® printing services

Should we include a return address in the design? When designing specifically an EDDM® Postcard, there is no need to include a return address. Unless your postcard requires feedback from the customer where they need to send the same postcard back to the sender.

Can I get a full-service EDDM® Postcard printing and mailing service? At this time 55printing is only offering support with the design and confection of the design and printing, sometimes even the bundle is also done by us. But the final steps must be done by the customer which consists in getting the flyers to their local USPS office for mailing.
