Custom dental postcards here print full color in 14 sizes on 22 stocks, from 50 cards up to a 100,000-card mailing. Your front desk never has time to chase every lapsed patient, so a dental postcard does the follow-up for it. It drops into a mailbox with one job, bring them back in, and practices lean on it for appointment reminders, six-month recall and recare notices, new-patient welcomes, and reactivation cards for families who have gone quiet. Fifty start at $16.48, rated 4.8 out of 5 across 12 reviews, and a postcard reaches a patient without fighting for room in a crowded inbox. A postcard arrives with no envelope to open, so the patient sees the recall date or the offer the moment the mail comes in. Comparing it with other mailers?

Fifty cards cost $16.48, enough to test a reactivation message on one list. Mail the whole patient base and the per-card cost falls fast: the tiers below give the set total at each of the 40 steps up to 100,000. ### Print more, pay less per postcard 40 quantity tiers, 50 to 100,000 postcards - Quantity: 100 postcards - Per postcard: 24.2¢ - Box total: $24.16 - You save: 0% - 500 postcards, 57% off, 10.3¢ per postcard - 1,000 postcards, 64% off, 8.68¢ per postcard - 5,000 postcards, 88% off, 2.79¢ per postcard - 10,000 postcards, 90% off, 2.30¢ per postcard - 100,000 postcards, 93% off, 1.72¢ per postcard 24.2¢ per postcard at 100, 1.72¢ at 100,000 ### What Are Dental Postcards Dental postcards are full-color marketing postcards that a practice mails to patients and prospects, printed on one or both sides in 14 sizes, from a 2.5" x 2.5" card up to a 6" x 11" mailer, on any of 22 stocks. Practices reach for them when an email would get buried: appointment reminders, six-month recall notices, new patient welcomes, seasonal promotions, and thank-you notes after a first visit. For the last one, read [how to design thank you postcards people keep](https://www.4over4.com/guide/how-to-design-thank-you-postcards). Because the card lands in a real mailbox, it gets handled and read instead of filtered into spam. If you want a card patients keep in a wallet instead, the [Mini Cards](https://www.4over4.com/product/mini-cards) cover that, and the postcard sits beside it as the one built to mail. To order custom dental postcards, you set five things: one of the 14 sizes or a custom size up to 6" x 11", one of the 22 stocks, full color on one or both sides, a Standard or High Gloss UV finish, and a quantity from 50 up to 100,000. Rounded corners at a 3/8" or 1/8" radius are optional, and standard production is 3 business days. Upload finished art built on the blank template for your size, or design the card in the online editor. ### What Size Should a Dental Postcard Be The right size comes down to how much you need to say. A 2.5" x 2.5", 3" x 3", or 3" x 4" card is plenty for an appointment reminder or a recall notice with your logo and a phone number. When you are mailing an offer, step up toward the largest 6" x 11" format for room to fit a headline, a photo, your hours, and a map to the office. All 14 sizes and both finishes are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. A larger card can affect postage, so size your message and your mailing budget together. ### Dental Postcards , Configured Your Way 6 option groups, 34 choices, defaults: 14pt Gloss Cover, 4/0: 4 Color Front; Blank Back, Standard Finish - 6 groups: 34 total Two choices shape how a recall card lands in the mailbox. #### Pick a stock that feels like more Start with weight. The default 14pt Gloss Cover keeps a big recall run clean and cheap, while a 24pt ultra-thick or 18pt cover feels substantial, the kind of card that does not get tossed with the junk mail. There are recycled uncoated options with post-consumer content, a soft touch that reads velvety, white linen with real texture, and metallic pearl that catches the light. A High Gloss UV Coating makes a smile photo snap. For a card that has to survive a purse or a fridge, the synthetic plastic and rigid PVC stocks hold up. #### Design it without a designer A recall card needs three things on the front: the practice name, the reason to call, and the phone number in type big enough to read from the kitchen counter. Pick a layout in the [postcard design templates](https://www.4over4.com/design-templates/postcards), set those three in the online editor, and put your hours and address on the back. Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. Each [blank dental postcard template](https://www.4over4.com/blank-templates/dental-postcards) is built at the real trim size with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the cut. Grab the size that matches your order below, drop your art in, and upload. ### Press-Ready Blank Templates 1 blank layout, at 2.5" x 2.5", with the cut and safe margins marked - [01 Postcards 2.5" x 2.5" · from $16.48 for 50](https://www.4over4.com/blank-templates/postcards) [Browse more](https://www.4over4.com/blank-templates/postcards) ### How Much Do Dental Postcards Cost Dental postcards start at $16.48 per set of 50, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 100,000, so the cost of a mailing really comes down to how many you send. An 800-card run is $73.60, 7,000 land at $176.61, and 25,000 run $491.20, which is under 2 cents each. A full 100,000-card campaign is $1,721.38, roughly 1.7 cents a card. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-card cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget. ## Wally keeps your chairs full Why a $16.48 stack of dental postcards brings patients back. Fifty dental postcards cost $16.48, and a full mailing drops to about 1.7 cents a card. Use them for appointment reminders, six-month recalls, and new patient welcomes, and add variable data so each card greets a patient by name. Pick a size, set your speed, and Wally gets them printed and out the door fast. ### Dental Postcards Price By Quantity 50 for $16.48 ( 33.0¢ each) up to 500 for $51.62 ( 10.3¢ each) - $16.48 33.0¢ per unit, 50 50 units 500, Up to 69% less per unit at 500 ### Can You Print a Name on Each Card Yes. Turn on variable data and every card in the mailing can be different: the patient's name in the greeting, their next appointment date, a one-off offer code, or a recall reminder tied to their last visit. The layout stays the same, and a spreadsheet with one row per patient fills in the rest, so a whole batch of personalized cards prints in a single run. A patient who sees their own name and date reads the card as a note from the office. Choose a free online proof so you can check the merge before the run prints, then pair it with full color on both sides and a finish that fits. ### How Do Dental Postcards Compare to the Rest of the Range Weighing a dental postcard against a standard postcard, a metallic foil accent or a pocket-sized card?

The smallest run is 50 cards, which starts at $16.48. That is enough for a short recall list or a test drop before you commit to a full patient mailing. Quantities scale up from there to 100,000, and the per-card price falls to about 1.7 cents at the top of the range. ### Can each card print a different patient name and appointment date? Yes. Variable data is one of the build options, so names, recall dates, and tracking codes can change from card to card inside a single run. You supply the list with your artwork and the same design prints with each record swapped in. ### Which size should I use for a six month recall reminder? There are 14 sizes, from a 2.5 inch by 2.5 inch card up to a 6 inch by 11 inch mailer, plus a custom size up to 6 inch by 11 inch. Smaller cards keep a recall mailing cheap to print and to post, while the larger sizes give a reactivation offer room to stand out in a stack of mail. Check the size against your postage rate before you order. ### Can I order envelopes that match the cards? Matching blank envelopes are offered as an add-on when you build the order. They are useful when a dental postcard goes out as part of a welcome packet or a statement rather than as an open mailer. The cards themselves mail without an envelope if you prefer the message face up. ### Can I get them printed in time for a mailing that goes out this week? Standard production is 3 business days, with 2-day, Next-Day and Same-Day rush available at checkout. Pick the rush level that matches your drop date and add transit time on top of production. Same-Day is the fastest option on this product. ### Which stock works best if the front desk writes on the back of the card? Choose one of the uncoated or recycled cover stocks from the 22 available. Uncoated paper takes pen ink far better than a coated sheet or a High Gloss UV Coating, which is built for a glossy photo front rather than handwriting. A common setup is full color on the front and a plain uncoated back for notes and the address block. Questions about Dental Postcards? [See answers](https://www.4over4.com/help/postcards)
