Because postcards are mailed without an envelope, durability matters.

Popular choices include:

  • 14 pt Card Stock – Standard and economical
  • 16 pt Card Stock – Thicker, premium feel
  • 18 pt or Ultra-Thick Stock – Luxury appearance

Many businesses also choose finishes such as:

  • Gloss UV coating
  • Matte coating
  • Soft-touch laminate
  • Uncoated stock for writable surfaces

The right combination depends on your brand and the postcard’s purpose.
