Popular Postcard Sizes
Choosing the right size for your postcards is crucial for making the right impact. At Chinaprinting4u, we offer a variety of popular postcard sizes, each serving unique purposes and preferences.
In addition to these, we also provide custom sizes tailored to your needs. If you have a specific dimension in mind, let us know, and we’ll accommodate your request to ensure your postcards fit your vision perfectly.
Paper for Postcard Printing
The paper you choose greatly influences the appearance and usability of your postcards. Since postcards often feature vibrant images or designs on the front and a writable surface on the back, coated one-sided (C1S) paper is an excellent option. It ensures the front displays vivid, eye-catching visuals while keeping the reverse side easy to write on.
C1S paper remains a favorite for postcard printing because its glossy coated surface enhances colors and sharpness, giving a polished, professional finish. The coating also provides extra protection against scratches and handling, ensuring durability during mailing. Meanwhile, the uncoated back side makes it convenient for handwritten messages, making C1S both practical and visually appealing for marketing, personal, or promotional use.
Besides C1S paper, we offer a range of other paper options, including kraft paper, textured paper, translucent vellum paper, and more. These alternatives provide different tactile experiences and visual effects, allowing you to select a paper type that aligns with your brand or personal preference. Each option adds a unique touch to your postcards, making them stand out.
Popular Paper Weight for Postcard Printing
We offer several paper weights to suit different needs:
200gsm C1S paper: Lightweight, perfect for mass mailing campaigns.
250gsm C1S paper: A balance of cost-effectiveness and durability.
300gsm C1S paper: Offers sturdiness, ideal for premium postcards.
350gsm C1S paper: The heaviest option, providing a luxurious feel.
Choosing the right weight ensures that your postcards have the desired impact, whether you’re looking to impress clients or connect with loved ones.
