This page is the Express 2-3 day postcard calculator. The live form opens on 4″ x 6″, 14 pt. Gloss Cover, Square Corners, Full Color Both Sides, High Gloss UV Coating (Both Sides), quantity 250. Production Turnaround stays on Express (2-3 Business Days). That print total is $74.27. Ground to ZIP 33140 is $15.77. Packed is $90.04. Quantity starts at 250 and climbs to 10,000. Reviewed 4 September 2026 by the 55printing production desk against this calculator.
The options on this form are the other ways to solve the same mail or handout job. Stay on 4″ x 6″ for a standard First Class card and a table leave-behind. Switch to 4.25″ x 6″ when you want a slightly roomier promo card. That 250 prints at $46.46 and packs at $62.23, the lowest 250-piece print on this size list. Switch to 5″ x 7″ when the piece should feel like an invitation. That 250 prints at $153.09 and packs at $168.82. Switch to 4″ x 9″ when the piece is a tall rack panel. That 250 prints at $165.53 and packs at $181.26. Switch to 5.5″ x 8.5″ for a half-page mail card at $171.02 print. Switch to 6″ x 9″ for a jumbo horizontal mailer at $215.03 print. Switch to 4.25″ x 11″ or 6″ x 11″ when the art is already a long menu or jumbo flat. Those 250s print at $132.84 and $270.99. Those two sizes can later reuse as EDDM art, but this page still mails a named list. Saturation flats belong on Express EDDM.

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 Express form. The bleed-and-safe cards below are the download sheets for the same rush catalog. The price list is this calculator, not a guessed range. The form default 250 of 4″ x 6″ shows $74.27 after Calculating.
Paper, coating, sides, and bundle as other solutions
14 pt. Gloss Cover with High Gloss UV Coating (Both Sides) is the default photo card. High Gloss UV Coating (Front Only) is the same board with less glare on the back. 14 pt. Uncoated Cover with None (if Uncoated Stock chosen) is the write-on card. On the default 4″ x 6″ 250, that uncoated row prints at $64.02 and packs at $79.79. 100 lb. White Linen Cover with Matte Finish is the textured leave-behind. That 250 prints at $94.22 and packs at $109.99. 18 pt. C1S Gloss Cover and 100 lb. Gloss Cover stay on this paper list for some sizes. Open the quote after you pick them. If the total closes, return to 14 pt. Gloss Cover.
Full Color Both Sides is the default because most cards carry a map, a QR code, or a second offer on the back. Full Color Front / Blank Back is the one-sided path. On the default 4″ x 6″ 250, that front-only row prints at $54.33 and packs at $70.10. Full Color Front / Grayscale Back is the middle path when the back is only a gray menu or an address block.
Bundle is the clerk-ready extra on this same Express postcard form. No Bundle is the default when you will address a list at the shop. Band (sets of 25) on the default 250 adds the band line and bills $93.02 print, packed $108.79 with the same $15.77 ground. Shrink Wrap (sets of 50) on that 250 bills $107.55 print and packs at $123.32. Use wrap or bands when the carton has to land already stacked. A pack stays locked when the quantity is not a multiple of that pack. Shrink Wrap (sets of 100) and Band (sets of 100) stay unavailable at 250. Bundle is not postage. Use Express EDDM when the job is saturation flats plus the same wrap language on an EDDM size.
Who should skip this Express page
Buy this page if the list is named, the press date is already tight, and you can start at 250 cards. Skip it if 3-5 day production still fits the calendar. That is standard postcards at $29.28 print on the 4″ x 6″ hundred. Skip it if you want every door on a carrier route. That is Express EDDM or standard EDDM. Skip it if you only need 49 to 5,000 digital pieces. That is Digital Fast postcards. Skip it if the piece is a street flyer, not a mail card. That is Express flyers.
Live Express postcard money

Gloss Cover, Printed Sides Full Color Both Sides, Coating High Gloss UV Coating (Both Sides), Quantity 250, Bundle No Bundle, and Turnaround Express (2-3 Business Days) to recover the $74.27 print starting point. Shipping still follows the ZIP and method you pick.

How production time and shipping differ
Production is 2-3 business days after you approve the file and pay. This form does not sell a Regular 3-5 day line. Shipping starts after that clock. Ground is 1 to 4 days in transit. 2nd Day Air on 250 default cards to 33140 is $21.05, so packed is $95.32. Next Day Air is $50.70, so packed is $124.97. A Saturday open house still needs the print days first. Paying Next Day Air does not turn a Wednesday file into a Thursday card. Rounded Corners (0.25″ radius) add 1-2 production days on top of Express. Stay on Square Corners when the date is already tight. A 4″ x 6″ still cannot mail as EDDM Retail.
Quantity 25, 50, and 100 are disabled here. Digital Fast is the 49-piece path. This size list is eight enabled cards, not a thirty-six size wall. If a size is missing, it is not for sale on this Express ladder. We print. We do not sell postage or a mailing list. A proof still adds about 1 business day.
Artwork on a locked Express clock
Build a print-ready PDF or flattened PNG at 300 DPI in the size you pick. An Express clock does not forgive a bad file. Keep type inside the cyan safe. Open a Predesigned Design Studio card, then use Order this art so the canvas lands on this form with the 4″ x 6″ size selected. You can also download the bleed-and-safe sheet and upload a PDF. FREE AI + HUMAN CUSTOM DESIGN and Yes, I need design help are the listed design paths when you do not have a file. If the file still needs a rewrite, do not pay for 2-3 day print to catch up. Fix the file, then come back.
If 3-5 days is enough, open standard postcards. If the run is under 250, open Digital Fast postcards. If the job is every door on a route, open Express EDDM. This URL is the 2-3 day named-list ladder that starts at 250.
Express postcard questions
If I need businesses only, is Express EDDM the faster path?
No. Express EDDM is faster printing, not a business-only filter. USPS still offers Homes only or All on those flats. You cannot drop the homes from a mixed route just because the press is faster. For shops only, stay on this Express postcard page, print the cards, and mail your own B2B list. Move to Express EDDM only when you want every home, or every door, on the routes you buy. One default 4″ x 6″ Express stack here prints at $74.27 and packs at $90.04 with ground to 33140.
Do 4.25″ x 11″ and 6″ x 11″ match Express EDDM money?
Those two sizes sit on this named-list form and on the EDDM family. Print plus ground should be read on each page for the same paper, sides, and quantity. Do not assume they bill the same after Bundle or coating changes. This Express postcard page also sells Bundle wrap and bands if you want clerk-ready stacks on a named-list card. Express EDDM is still the cleaner page when the job is saturation flats. The money check is print and ship on the shared size, not the postage.
Why is Regular (3-5 days) missing?
This URL is the 2-3 day catalog. Production Turnaround shows Express (2-3 Business Days) only. If 3-5 days still fits, open standard postcards and pay the $29.28 default hundred instead of the $74.27 Express 250. Do not treat the missing Regular row as a missing size. The size list here is the eight enabled Express cards.
Can I start at 50 or 100 rush cards?
No. 250 is the floor on this Express ladder. Digital Fast postcards open at 49 if you need a smaller digital test and a 1-2 day digital clock. Paying for 2-3 day offset print does not add a 50-piece or 100-piece row here. If the list is 180 names, you still print 250 and hold the extras. Count the list first. Then pick 250, 500, 1,000, or a higher step on this form.
When should I add shrink wrap or paper bands?
Add Bundle when the carton has to arrive already stacked for a clerk or a volunteer team. On the default 4″ x 6″ 250, Band (sets of 25) prints at $93.02 and packs at $108.79. Shrink Wrap (sets of 50) prints at $107.55 and packs at $123.32. Leave No Bundle selected if you will address the stack yourself. A pack stays locked when the quantity is not a multiple of that pack. Bundle is not postage.
Will a 4″ x 6″ go through a mailbox as First Class?
The 4″ x 6″ default is the safer First Class card on this form. Ask the Post Office for the current size rules before you stamp a long 4.25″ x 11″ or 6″ x 11″ as an automation letter. Those two sizes are on this form as named-list cards and as art that can later move to EDDM. Do not assume a jumbo flat will clear a letter machine just because you paid for Express print.
If the 2-3 day addressed 4″ x 6″ job is the one you want, set the form back to the $74.27 default or pick another enabled size, then add the order from this page.
