Design your postcard, upload a mailing list and choose the delivery options. We’ll handle the rest.

Steps to set up a postcard mailing

1

Design your postcard

Create your postcard in the design studio. You can upload your own design or choose a template to customize. On the back, keep content outside the non-printable area reserved for USPS. Anything placed there won’t be printed.

2

Set up your mailing list

Choose how you want to create your mailing list. You can buy a list, upload your own or use a list you’ve already saved.

3

Choose your mailing options

Select your preferred delivery speed and delivery window. You’ll also need to choose whether undeliverable postcards are forwarded, discarded or returned.

4

Complete checkout

Review your order details and complete payment to place your mailing. We’ll take care of printing, addressing and mailing your postcards.

Ways to create a mailing list

  • Buy a mailing list: Select a location, audience filters and quantity. We’ll generate a mailing list for you based on your criteria.

  • Upload your own list: Use a VistaPrint mailing list template, add your recipients and upload the file to continue.

  • Use a saved list: Select a mailing list you’ve used before. This option appears once you have saved lists in your account.
