Cheap EDDM Printing Prices, Premium Quality
Don't let the word "cheap" fool you. We use the term to refer to our competitive pricing structure, not our materials. In fact, our EDDM postcards are printed on heavier stock than standard mailers to ensure they survive the postal machinery and arrive looking pristine.
100lb Gloss Cover Stock
Standard copy paper is 20lb. Our postcards are 5x thicker. This 14pt or 16pt cardstock provides a substantial, rigid feel that screams quality when your customer pulls it from their mailbox.
Vibrant CMYK Offset Quality
We utilize state-of-the-art Heidelberg and Komori presses. This isn't a basic office printer job; this is high-fidelity commercial printing with accurate color calibration for food photography and brand logos.
Protective Coating Options
Choose UV High Gloss for a wet-look shine that makes colors pop, or a Matte/Dull Finish for a sophisticated, writable surface. Both coatings protect against postal scuffs and smears.
The Ultimate Guide to EDDM Marketing
What is Cheap EDDM Printing & Why Use It?
Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) is a program created by the United States Postal Service (USPS) that enables businesses to market to every residential and business address in a specific geographic area.
Unlike traditional direct mail, you do not need names or addresses. Instead of printing "John Doe, 123 Main St" on your postcard, the address panel simply says "Local Postal Customer."
💰 The Cost Advantage
The biggest advantage is the postage rate. Standard First Class stamps cost over $0.60. Marketing Mail requires permits and expensive lists. EDDM Postage is approximately $0.20 per piece. When you combine this with our cheap EDDM printing rates, you can land a large, full-color advertisement in a customer's hand for less than $0.35 total per home.
How the Process Works: 4 Simple Steps
Design Your Mailer
Use our templates to design a card that fits EDDM requirements (must be a "flat," not a standard letter size).
Select Your Routes
Go to the USPS EDDM Online Tool. Select the zip codes you want to target. The map will show you "Carrier Routes" (e.g., Route C004 has 542 homes). Select the routes that match your target demographic.
Print & Bundle
Order your cheap EDDM printing from us. We print them and can even bundle them in stacks of 50 or 100 (optional service) with the required "Facing Slips."
Drop Off & Pay Postage
Take your boxes to the local post office indicated on your paperwork. Pay the postage at the counter (Retail EDDM) or via permit (BMEU), and the carrier delivers them the next day.

Anatomy of a High-Converting Postcard
Printing thousands of postcards is easy. Getting thousands of people to act on them is an art. Here are the 5 pillars of a successful EDDM design.
1. The Headline
It needs to be massive. You have 2 seconds to grab attention while the recipient walks from the mailbox to the trash can. Don't use your business name as the headline; use a Benefit.
Bad: "Joe's Pizza"
Good: "Feed the Family for $19.99"
2. The Offer
EDDM is interruption marketing. You must offer a bribe to get them to keep the card. This is not the place for branding; it is the place for direct response.
Examples: Free Estimates, BOGO Deals, $20 Off First Service.
3. The Call to Action
Tell them exactly what to do. Use verbs. Make the phone number or URL the second largest font on the card.
"Call Now," "Scan Code," "Visit Website."
4. Tracking
If you don't track it, you can't improve it. Use a unique phone number, a specific QR code, or a promo code that is only found on that specific postcard batch.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Retail EDDM and BMEU?
Retail EDDM is for small business owners. You can mail up to 5,000 pieces per day per zip code. You simply drop them off at the local post office that services that route. You do not need a permit (cost: $0).
BMEU (Business Mail Entry Unit) is for large volume mailers. It requires a postage permit (approx $240/year) but allows you to drop all mail at a central processing facility rather than driving to individual post offices.
Why are EDDM postcards larger than regular postcards?
To qualify for the cheap EDDM postage rate (Standard Mail Flats), the mail piece must meet specific "Flat" dimensions. It must be more than 6.125" tall OR more than 11.5" long. This is why the 6.5" x 9" size is the industry standard—it qualifies as a flat and stands out in the mailbox.
Do you offer bundling services?
Yes! USPS requires EDDM postcards to be bundled in packs of 50 or 100 with a "Facing Slip" on top. This can be time-consuming to do by hand. When you select our "Bundling Service" at checkout, we will count, stack, and band your postcards for you so they are ready to drop off the moment they arrive at your door.
Can I target just businesses?
Sort of. The USPS tool allows you to select "Residential Only" (most common) or "Business & Residential." However, you generally cannot target only businesses on a route if there are homes on that same route. You must take the whole route.
