Postcards
We offer online printing for custom postcards. Whether you need them for direct mail or another purpose, you'll love our high-quality, professional, full-color cards, printed in with fast delivery. We print 4 x 6-inch postcards, as well as 5 x 7-inch and 5.5 x 8.5-inch postcards. Our prices might be a discount compared to other printers, but our quality standards are as high as they come.
Our quantities start at 100 pieces, and our most popular is 14pt., C1S (coated one side) - this allows you to write easily on the back of the cards. Remember, if you want UV coating on both sides you must use a cardstock with a coated surface on both sides. We offer semi-gloss or full-gloss UV coating available on coated stocks only.
Design and customize your new postcards yourself using our design tools. Or, you can upload or email your design to workflow@hhimaging.com. We typically have a 3-5 business days turnaround after we get your approval, but Same-Day or Next-Day Service is available. We've got mailing services too.

More General Info On Postcards
A postcard or post card is a rectangular piece of thick paper or thin cardboard intended for writing and mailing without an envelope. In some places, it is possible to send them for a lower fee than for a letter. Stamp collectors distinguish between postcards (which require a stamp) and postal cards (which have the postage pre-printed on them). While a postcard is usually printed by a private company, individual or organization, a postal card is issued by the relevant postal authority. The United States Postal Service defines a postcard as: rectangular, at least 3½ inches high × 5 inches long × 0.007 inches thick and no more than 4¼ inches high × 6 inches long × 0.016 inches thick;[1] (in metric; 12.7 cm × 8.9 cm). However, some postcards have deviated from this (for example, shaped postcards).

Composites - A number of individual cards, that when placed together in a group, form a larger picture.
Divided Back - Postcards with a back divided into two sections, one for the message, the other for the address. British cards were first divided in 1902 and American cards in 1907.
Embossed - Postcards with a raised surface.
Hand-tinted - Black-and-white images were tinted by hand using watercolors and stencils.

Large Letter - A term used to describe a postcard which has the name of a place shown as a series of very large letters, inside of each of which is a picture of that locale (see also Big Letter).
Novelty - Any postcard which deviates in any way from the norm. Cards which do something, or have articles attached to them, or are printed in an unusual size or on strange materials. An example is cards made of leather.
Oilette - A trade name used by Raphael Tuck to describe postcards reproduced from original paintings.
Real Photographic - Abbreviated to ‘RP’. Used to describe postcards produced by a photographic rather than a printing process.
Undivided Back - Describes postcards with a plain back where all of this space was used for the address. This is a term often used to describe Early cards, although undivided were still in common use up until 1907.
Vignette - Usually found on undivided back cards, consisting of a design which does not occupy the whole of the picture side. Vignettes may be anything from a small sketch in one corner of the card, to a design cover three quarters of the card. The purpose is to leave some space for the message to be written, as the entire reverse of the card could only be used for the address.
