A restaurant, realtor, or clinic that already has names and streets pays $29.28 to print the default 4″ x 6″, 14 pt. Gloss, full color both sides, quantity 100. Ground to ZIP 33140 is $14.85 on that same row. The packed total is $44.13. That is the form default on this page. Change the size or the quantity and the total updates before you add to cart. Reviewed 21 August 2026 by the 55printing production desk against this calculator and lookup-pricing.json.
This calculator prices the full postcard catalog, not the five-size Digital Fast set and not the EDDM-only dropdown. Thirty-six sizes run from 2″ x 4″ hang-tag cards through 4″ x 6″ table cards, 4″ x 11″ coupon strips, 6.5″ x 9″ neighborhood flats, 8.5″ x 11″ circulars, and 9″ x 12″ business flats. Quantity starts at 100 and ends at 100,000. 14 pt. Gloss is the everyday mail feel. 100 lb. Matte Cover, 14 pt. Uncoated, 13 pt. Premium Linen, 16 pt. Premium Matte, the 18 pt boards, and the Trifecta velvet boards stay on the paper list.
Stay here when you will address a list, hand the cards out, or keep a 4″ x 6″ that USPS treats as a letter. Standard EDDM is the same print and ground money on overlapping flats, with the size list cut to EDDM-eligible pieces. Express postcards lock the same catalog to 2-3 day production. Digital Fast postcards stop at 5,000 and open at 49. Postage is not in the print total.

Use a Predesigned Design Studio card when you want a 4″ x 6″ canvas already set, then Order this art so the file lands on this form. The bleed-and-safe cards below are the download sheets for the same catalog. The price list is this calculator, not a guessed range.
Why the default is a 4″ x 6″ addressed card


The default is Size 4 X 6 because that is the card most shops hand to a hostess stand or drop in a First Class envelope. Print on 100 of that size, 14 pt. Gloss, both sides, Standard (3-5 Business Days), is $29.28. Ground to 33140 is $14.85. Packed is $44.13. Five hundred of the same spec print at $52.92. Ground on 500 is $15.78. Packed 500 is $68.70. One thousand print at $67.03. Ground on 1,000 is $16.87. Packed 1,000 is $83.90.
Pick 6.5″ x 9″ on this same form when the piece has to fill a mailbox. One hundred of 6.5″ x 9″, 14 pt. Gloss, both sides, Standard, print at $61.05. Ground is $15.14. Packed is $76.19. That print plus ground matches standard EDDM for the same paper, sides, quantity, and turnaround. The EDDM page only hides sizes that fail the flat test. A 4″ x 11″ coupon strip on this page prints at $45.92 for 100. Ground on that row is $15.14. Packed is $61.06.
Who should skip this page
Buy this page if you have streets and names, or if the card will be handed out. Skip it if you want every door on a carrier route and you will drop saturation flats at a Post Office. That is standard EDDM. Skip it if the press clock has to finish in 2-3 business days. That is express postcards. Skip it if you only need 49 to 5,000 digital pieces. That is Digital Fast postcards. Skip it if the sheet is an 8.5″ x 11″ folded handout, not a card. That is flyer printing.
Size, paper, and quantity money
Square Corners stay selected unless your designer built a 0.25″ radius file. High Gloss UV Coating (Front Only) is the default finish and does not add a coating line on the gloss stock. Printed Sides default to Full Color Both Sides. Turnaround defaults to Standard (3-5 Business Days). Rush (2-3 Business Days) and Express (1-2 Business Days) sit on this form with a fee. The EDDM Indicia Option is free: already in the file, add the imprint, or mark the job as not intended for EDDM when these cards will never see a saturation drop.
| Size and quantity | Ground | Print + ground | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4″ x 6″, qty 100 (form default) | $29.28 | $14.85 | $44.13 |
| 4″ x 6″, qty 500 | $52.92 | $15.78 | $68.70 |
| 4″ x 6″, qty 1,000 | $67.03 | $16.87 | $83.90 |
| 6.5″ x 9″, qty 100 (same money as standard EDDM) | $61.05 | $15.14 | $76.19 |
Reset the form to Size 4 X 6, Paper 14 pt. Gloss, Printed Sides Full Color Both Sides, Quantity 100, and Turnaround Standard (3-5 Business Days) to recover the $29.28 print starting point. Shipping still follows the ZIP and method you pick.
How production time and shipping differ
Standard production is 3-5 business days after you approve the file and pay. Shipping starts after that clock. Ground on the default 4″ x 6″ row to 33140 is $14.85. 2nd Day Air on that row is $22.85, so packed with 2nd Day Air is $52.13. Next Day Air on that row is $31.01, so packed with Next Day Air is $60.29. Those are carrier prices, not a faster print clock. If the event is next week, count production first, then pick the carrier.
One hundred is our print floor, not a postage rule. A 4" x 6" card is a USPS letter. It will not enter Every Door Direct Mail Retail. If you need saturation, leave this page and open EDDM. We print. We do not sell postage or a mailing list.
Artwork and the upload path
Build a print-ready PDF or flattened PNG at 300 DPI in the size you pick. Keep type and logos inside the cyan safe on the guideline cards. Open a Predesigned Design Studio card, then use Order this art so the canvas lands on this form with the 4″ x 6″ size already selected and the art attached. You can also download the bleed-and-safe sheet and upload a PDF. Silver Package is the listed design-build option when you do not have a file.
If the job is every door on a route, open standard EDDM. If the press has to finish in 2-3 days and you still have a named list, open express postcards. This page is the full-size, standard-clock, addressed catalog.
Postcard printing questions
Can I mail these postcards to businesses only?
Yes on this page, because these are regular postcards. You print them, then address a list you already have or buy. That is how a plumber hits only the shops on a commercial strip. EDDM is the other program: the carrier walks a whole route. On EDDM you can choose Homes only or All doors. You cannot keep only the shops and skip the houses on a mixed street. Use the EDDM page when you want saturation. Stay here when the list is named businesses. One default 4″ x 6″ stack here prints at $29.28 and packs at $44.13 with ground to 33140.
Why is 4″ x 6″ the default if I also see 6.5″ x 9″?
4″ x 6″ is the card people hand out and the card most First Class lists expect. 6.5″ x 9″ is the overlapping mailbox flat. Both sit on this dropdown because this is the full catalog. One hundred of 4″ x 6″ print at $29.28. One hundred of 6.5″ x 9″ print at $61.05. That 6.5″ x 9″ print plus ground matches standard EDDM. Pick 4″ x 6″ when the piece is a letter-size card. Pick 6.5″ x 9″ when you want the jumbo that also qualifies as an EDDM flat if you later move the same file to a saturation drop.
Does 100 pieces meet a postage minimum?
No. 100 is our print floor on this ladder. The Post Office does not treat 100 as a First Class or Marketing Mail minimum. Digital Fast postcards open at 49 if you need a smaller digital test. If you later move the same art to EDDM, USPS Retail usually wants 200 pieces in the ZIP unless the routes there add up to fewer. Asking the clerk after you already printed 100 of a 4″ x 6″ letter is how leftover cards happen. Count the list first, then pick 250, 500, or 1,000.
Is postage in the cart?
No. The cart is printing and shipping the cards to you or to a mail house. You buy stamps, a permit, or a mail-house drop on your side. We do not sell a mailing list and we do not walk a carrier route. As of August 21, 2026 we still do not put USPS cents into this calculator because those rates live on the Post Office site and can change. Recheck USPS before you stamp. The $44.13 packed default is print plus ground to 33140, not postage.
Will 6.5″ x 9″ cost the same as the EDDM page?
For the same paper, sides, quantity, and turnaround, print plus ground ship should match. That is the shared-pricing rule for this pair. One hundred of 6.5″ x 9″, 14 pt. Gloss, both sides, Standard, is $61.05 print and $15.14 ground on both pages. The EDDM page only narrows the size list. Postage, facing slips, and the route still sit on your side if you later enter those flats as saturation. A 4″ x 6″ never moves to EDDM Retail because it is a letter.
Should I pick rounded corners for mailbox mail?
Only if your file was built for a 0.25″ radius and you are not entering the piece as a first EDDM saturation drop. This form offers Rounded Corners (0.25″ radius). Square Corners are the default because they match most addressed files and they stay inside the tighter USPS finished-corner limit if you later reuse the art on EDDM. Leave Square Corners selected for a first addressed run. Take a printed sample to your Post Office before you commit a whole list to a round-corner file.
If the addressed 4″ x 6″ job is the one you want, set the form back to the $29.28 default or pick another size from the thirty-six, then add the order from this page.
