Reaching customers can be a lot of work. With our EDDM® cards, you can send a standout, professional message to every home in an area – no address list needed. We’ve made the EDDM process even easier by providing postcards that meet all USPS physical requirements, including size, weight, shape and bundling. Please note: price excludes USPS postage costs.
Here’s how it works:
1. Design your USPS-compliant postcard
Start by picking a postcard size and paper, then explore our library of postcard templates – or upload your own unique design. Each one of our templates complies with EDDM® regulations from the USPS. Next, customize your design with your message, photos and branding, or use our design services for help creating a professional look.
2. Receive them at your home
We’ll ship your postcards to your home address with your choice of standard, express or priority shipping. They'll arrive bundled in packs of 100 – as required by the USPS – for a low-hassle trip to your local post office. Postage is not included in your VistaPrint order and is paid directly at USPS when you drop off.
3. Choose your postal routes and drop off at a USPS office
Before heading to the post office, choose the postal routes you'd like to target by clicking on the EDDM® tool under the “Business” tab on the USPS website. You don’t need a mailing list to do this, though you can filter by age group and average income to reach a specific audience. You'll also need to complete a USPS facing slip or top sheet for each bundle, which lists the postal route information. Once at the post office, hand over your bundles and pay for postage at the counter. Then USPS takes it from there. And you? You can sit back, relax, and get back to running your business.

EDDM® sizes should meet the following requirements:
Length: Between 10″ and 15″
Height: Between 12″ and 6.125″
Thickness: Between 0.75″ and 0.25”
Corner Radius: Less than or equal to 0.125”
USPS will accept cards with a length or height less than the minimum requirement, but only on one side.
If this feels a bit confusing, don’t worry. All of the EDDM® postcard sizes on this page meet USPS requirements.
With EDDM® cards, USPS will deliver your postcard to every door in an area code (unless you’ve chosen age and income filters). We send you your postcards printed and packaged, and you take them to USPS to request the service. With mailing services, we print addresses directly on your postcards and send them to USPS for you. However, you have to provide the mailing list or purchase one from our website. If this sounds like something you may be interested in, you can explore our postcard mailing services page more in-depth.
To design your EDDM® postcards, select a size, paper stock and paper thickness. Glossy paper works well if you plan on using photos or bright colors, while matte works best with text-heavy and darker designs. Next, you can explore our gallery of templates, which feature the required EDDM® postage and layout requirements. Once you find a style you like, you can change the colors, add photos and make your message stand out. If you’d like a professional to take the wheel, check out our design services.
