Save on Postcard Printing

You might be one of the thousands across the nation laid off work thinking of starting your own business or perhaps already have one existing and currently struggling to make a profit. The recession has hit us hard, and we all need to find ways to save on our postcard printing without compromising quality. A postcard mailer can say a lot about your company. Make a good lasting impression and uphold the standard of excellence of your postcards.

Here are some tips on how you can get additional savings on your postcard printing.

Stick with Standard Sizes

A postcard print does not need to always be 4"x6". Stay ahead of the competition by making innovative postcard designs that stand out. Be careful not to choose an extremely misshapen postcard orientation as it tends to turn people off. Naturally, the standard postcard size of 4"x6" would be the most economical.

Standard sizes are as follows:

4"x6"

4.25"x6"

5"x7"

5.5"x8.5"

6"x9"

6"x11"

Notice that the more pieces you produce, the lower the cost per piece becomes. Meaning you already save by ordering in higher quantities. You can also get an additional volume discount for orders. A single 10,000pc order costs $266.58, while a total of 10,000pcs at 1,000pcs per order will total $574.60. Almost twice the cost if you order separately.
