Express EDDM is the 2-3 day print clock for saturation flats. A faster press does not change USPS routing, the 200-piece Retail floor, or the 3.3 oz Retail weight cap. The form default is 6.5″ x 9″, 14 pt. Gloss, 250 pieces, full color both sides, Express (2-3 Business Days), and No Bundle. Print on that row is $189.89. Ground to ZIP 33140 is $16.69. Packed is $206.58. The same 6.5″ x 9″ / 250 row on standard EDDM prints at $101.93 and packs at $118.62 on the slower 3-5 day clock. Reviewed 1 September 2026 by the 55printing production desk against this calculator.
Quantity on this rush ladder runs 250 to 100,000, including 80,000 and 90,000 steps. Seven EDDM-eligible sizes stay on the dropdown: 4.25″ x 11″, 6″ x 11″, 6.5″ x 9″, 6.5″ x 11″, 6.5″ x 12″, 8.5″ x 11″, and 9″ x 12″. A 4″ x 6″ card is not here because USPS treats that size as a letter. Papers are 14 pt. Gloss, 100 lb. Gloss Cover, 13 pt. Premium Linen, 14 pt. Uncoated, 16 pt. Gloss, and 18 pt. Ultra Premium Smooth White.
Use this page when the USPS drop date is already on a calendar and the print file is ready. Use standard EDDM when 3-5 day production is enough. Use Digital Fast EDDM for a 49-to-5,000 digital stack. Named shops only belong on express postcards, not on a rush saturation route.

Use a Predesigned Design Studio card when you want a 6.5″ x 9″ canvas already set, then Order this art so the file lands on this rush EDDM form. The bleed-and-safe cards below are the download sheets for the same flats. The price list is this calculator, not a guessed range.
Bundle stacks and the 2-3 day print clock
USPS does not offer a “2-3 day EDDM” postage class. The carrier still walks the whole route on the day the office releases the bundles. What this page rushes is production after you approve the file and pay. Ground, 2nd Day Air, and Next Day Air then move the carton to you. Book the USPS drop-off date only after you know the flats will be in your hands. The EDDM tool lets you pick a drop date up to 30 days ahead. If the carton is late, you cancel or move that Retail order in Order History so it does not eat your 5,000-piece daily ZIP limit.
Print plus ground ship on a shared size tracks the same postcard ladder as express postcards for the same paper, sides, and quantity; the rush turnaround line is the difference on this page. Two hundred fifty of 6.5″ x 9″ here is $189.89 print and $16.69 ground. Bundle is extra. Default Bundle is No Bundle. The form sells shrink wrap in sets of 5, 10, 25, 30, 40, 50, 75, and 100, plus paper bands in sets of 25, 50, and 100. A pack stays locked when the quantity is not a multiple of that pack. Two hundred fifty pieces with shrink wrap sets of 50 add $33.28. Packed with that wrap and ground is $239.86. The same run with bands of 25 add $18.75. Sets of 100 stay locked on 250, 750, 1500, 2500, and 7500. Invalid wrap must not blank the quote. Leave No Bundle selected if you will stack the carton yourself.
Who should skip this rush EDDM page
Buy this page if the drop date is close and the file is ready. Skip it if 3-5 day production still fits. That is standard EDDM at $101.93 print on the same 6.5″ x 9″ / 250 row. Skip it if the run is 5,000 or under and you want a 1-2 day digital stack. That is Digital Fast EDDM. Skip it if you only want named shops. That is express postcards. Skip it if you need a 4″ x 6″ letter card. That size is not EDDM-eligible here.
Same USPS size laws, tighter press
Express flats still have to be Marketing Mail flats. They must exceed one letter limit (longer than 10.5″, taller than 6.125″, or thicker than 0.25″) and stay inside 15″ x 12″ x 0.75″. Minimum thickness is 0.007″. Retail weight still stops at 3.3 ounces. 6.5″ x 9″ is the house default because 6.5″ already clears the height test. Digital Fast 80 lb cover is about 4 pt and can sit under 0.007″. Stay on 100 lb or 14 pt gloss for a first drop. 16 pt C2S gloss is the rush-catalog heavy sheet. Weigh a finished sample if you move to the heavier 16 pt or 18 pt sheets. A piece over 3.3 oz leaves Retail and has to move to BMEU with a permit.
Delivery types do not grow because you paid for 2-3 day print. Residential only or Business and Residential. No businesses-only toggle. You still cannot take part of a route. Retail still wants 200 pieces in the ZIP unless the routes there add up to fewer. BMEU still wants 200 pieces and a Marketing Mail permit. Green routes on the map are already all-business routes. They are not a filter you apply to a mixed street after you rush the print. Corners stay Square on this form, which keeps the finished piece inside USPS corner rules.
| Job on this rush form | Ground | Print + ground | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6.5″ x 9″, qty 250, No Bundle (form default) | $189.89 | $16.69 | $206.58 |
| 6.5″ x 9″, qty 500, No Bundle | $201.23 | $18.28 | $219.51 |
| 6.5″ x 9″, qty 1,000, No Bundle | $214.95 | $26.52 | $241.47 |
| 4.25″ x 11″, qty 250, No Bundle | $154.20 | $18.15 | $172.35 |
Reset the form to Size 6.5″ x 9″, Paper 14 pt. Gloss, Printed Sides Full Color Both Sides, Quantity 250, Turnaround Express (2-3 Business Days), and Bundle No Bundle to recover the $189.89 print starting point. Shipping still follows the ZIP and method you pick.
How you mail the rush carton after it lands
We print and ship the flats to you or to a mail house. Production days on this form are 2-3 business days after you approve the file and pay. Ground on the default row to 33140 is $16.69. 2nd Day Air on that row is $24.59, so packed with 2nd Day Air is $214.48. Next Day Air on that row is $42.42, so packed with Next Day Air is $232.31. Those carriers do not prepay postage. When the carton arrives, log into the EDDM tool, pick the routes, print the forms, and keep the bundles face-up. Take the bundles, the Retail listing, PS Form 3587, and one facing slip per route to the scheduled Post Office.
Do not print 250 and assume the Post Office will accept it as EDDM Retail. Check the live route total. Do not treat Bundle as postage. Confirm thickness, weight, and indicia with your Post Office if the piece is unusual.
Plan backwards from the USPS drop date. Subtract transit to your ZIP, then the 2-3 production days, then proof time. If that math does not fit, move the drop date in the EDDM tool instead of hoping the carrier will hold a late stack.
Express EDDM questions
Does rush EDDM let me hit businesses only?
No. Faster printing does not change USPS routing. Express EDDM is still Homes only or All. There is no businesses-only toggle on a mixed carrier route. If you only want shops, stay on the express postcard page, print the cards, and mail your own B2B list. Switch to this page when you want every home, or every door, on the routes you pick. Green “business only” routes on the map already have no homes. That is not a filter you apply after you pay for 2-3 day print.
Is postage rushed too?
No. We print and ship the flats. Postage and the route are yours. USPS saturation does not have a 2-3 day postage upgrade. The clerk releases the bundles on the office schedule. As of August 21, 2026 the public EDDM page listed Retail flats at $0.26 each up to 3.3 oz. Recheck usps.com/business/every-door-direct-mail.htm. Paying for rush print does not prepay that postage. The $206.58 packed default is print plus ground to 33140, not stamps.
Why buy Bundle on a rush order?
USPS wants Retail pieces bundled, face the same way, with a facing slip and a piece count. Recommended stack size is 50 to 100. This form also sells smaller shrink packs and paper bands when your count needs a different stack. Two hundred fifty pieces with shrink wrap sets of 50 add $33.28. Bands of 25 on the same run add $18.75. A pack locks when the quantity is not a multiple of that pack. You still print one facing slip per route from the EDDM tool. Bundle does not buy postage and it does not replace PS Form 3587. Leave No Bundle selected if you will stack the carton yourself.
Does a 250-piece rush run meet a route minimum?
Usually. 250 is our print floor on this express ladder. USPS Retail still usually wants 200 pieces in the ZIP unless those routes add up to fewer, so 250 covers many routes but not all. A 2-3 day clock does not lower that floor. Read the Total deliveries column on the map, then pick 250, 500, or the next priced step that covers the route. Two hundred fifty of the default 6.5″ x 9″ print at $189.89 and pack at $206.58 with ground and No Bundle. Asking the clerk after you already printed is how leftover flats happen.
Will 6.5″ x 9″ match express postcard money?
On sizes both pages sell, like 4.25″ x 11″, the base print and ground numbers come off the same postcard ladder for the same paper, sides, and quantity. This page then adds the rush line for the 2-3 day clock. Bundle is the other extra line on the rush EDDM form. Express postcards do not sell saturation routing, so the money comparison is print and ship only. A 4″ x 6″ never appears here because it is a letter.
Can 16 pt C2S gloss still go Retail on a rush drop?
Yes if the finished piece stays at or under 3.3 ounces and still meets the flat size test. 16 pt C2S gloss is the rush-catalog heavy sheet. A laminated sample or the heavier cover sheets can push weight over the Retail cap. Weigh one finished flat before you book a 5,000-piece Retail day. Overweight pieces belong on BMEU with a permit, not at the retail window. The 2-3 day press does not change that weight cap. Stay on 14 pt. Gloss for a first rush drop unless you have already weighed a sample.
If the 2-3 day saturation job is the one you want, set the form back to the $189.89 default or add Bundle, then add the order from this page.
