Frequently Asked Questions
What are Painted Edge Postcards?
Painted Edge Postcards are printed on ultra-thick cardstock with color applied along the edges. This creates a visible stripe of color around the postcard, adding a distinctive detail to the finished piece.
How thick are these compared to regular postcards?
Painted Edge Postcards use 32pt cardstock, compared with 14pt for Standard Postcards and 16pt for Premium Postcards. This gives them a significantly thicker, more substantial feel.
Can I choose a metallic edge color?
Yes. Both solid and metallic edge colors are available, allowing you to coordinate the edges with your design or branding.
Are the front and back glossy?
No. These postcards feature an uncoated surface with a more natural paper feel rather than a shiny or laminated finish.
Can Painted Edge Postcards be mailed?
They may be mailed, but the ultra-thick cardstock can affect postage costs and processing requirements. Check with your mailing provider or USPS before planning a large mailing campaign.
