Postcard Standard Sizes

 USPS has certain guidelines regarding postcard size. For example, if you want to send a postcard by first class mail, its dimensions must be 3.5" x 5", and it cannot exceed 4.25" x 6". Postcards must also be 0.75" thick. Other dimensions include the postcard's height and length. However, there are several variations within these standard sizes. The most popular sizes are 4.25 x 11", 6.25 x 9", and 8.5 x 11".



Standard postcard sizes give you enough space to include one large image, a call to action, and some additional text. They also give your postcard more room to stand out from the competition. These postcards are ideal for companies that want to highlight a product or service. You can also choose a glossy coating to increase your postcard's visual appeal.

The best postcard size depends on the purpose of the postcard. For example, a postcard can be used as a menu, a poster, or even a mini-artwork. Postcards can be a great way to promote a product, and they cost a lot less to send than letters. However, postcards can take longer to arrive.

Postcards first appeared in the United Kingdom around 1870, and were plain. In 1894, picture postcards were introduced. They were commonly sized 4.75 x 3.5 inches. The standard size was raised to four by two inches in 1906, and the maximum size was raised to 5.875 x 4.125 inches in 1925. Standard postcard postage ended in 1968 and the USPS has no longer imposed any standards for postcard size.
