It runs bigger than the usual 4 by 6 card, so it sits on top of a stack of letters and has room for a flyer's worth of copy. Oversized postcards start at $51.62 for a set of 50 on 22 premium stocks and hold a 4.9 out of 5 rating across 102 reviews. Each one carries a headline, a hero photo and a clear next step on a sheet large enough to read across a room, and it still mails and hands out as a single card instead of a packet. For the smaller formats that mail at the postcard rate, see every size and stock side by side on [postcards printing](https://www.4over4.com/postcards-printing), or build yours from the choices below. A set of 50 at $51.62 covers a short list or a first test, and the price per card falls with each tier above it.

People reach for the oversized format when a standard card would get lost: promotions and grand openings, real estate listings, restaurant menus, event invites, sales flyers and loyalty offers. The bigger sheet gives you room for a real headline, a big photo and a clear next step. If you want the familiar value format instead, the [Standard Postcards](https://www.4over4.com/product/postcards) cover that, and the oversized sits right beside it as the version with room for a full offer. ### What Size Are Oversized Postcards Oversized postcards come in 4 large formats, and the right one depends on how much you need to show and what you want to spend on postage. The 5.5" x 8.5" is a half-page that reads like a flyer but still mails flat. The 6" x 8" runs wide and bold for a single big image. The 6" x 9" is a favorite for promotions because it is roomy without tipping into oversize postage. The 6" x 11" jumbo is the largest, with the most room for photos and offers. For a dimension not on the list, set a custom size anywhere from 5.5 to 6 inches wide and 8 to 11 inches tall. The specs panel below lists every format, stock and coating. ### Oversized 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 A few choices matter more on a big card than on a small one. An oversized postcard is any postcard larger than the 4.25 by 6 inch USPS postcard maximum. We print four of them, 5.5" x 8.5", 6" x 8", 6" x 9" and 6" x 11", and the 6" x 11" jumbo is the largest oversized postcard size on this page. | Size | Printable area | Best for | Mails as | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 5.5" x 8.5" | Full 5.5" x 8.5" front and back | A half page announcement, a menu drop, a coupon sheet with room for a map | Above the postcard maximum, so letter rate | | 6" x 8" | Full 6" x 8" front and back | Retail offers and service reminders that need one big image and a short block of copy | Letter rate | | 6" x 9" | Full 6" x 9" front and back | Real estate just listed and just sold cards, the standard large mailer size | Letter rate, and the usual ceiling before flat pricing | | 6" x 11" | Full 6" x 11" front and back | Jumbo grand openings and multi offer mailers that have to land face up | Flat rate territory, so price it before the run | Need something between the steps? The custom size on this product runs from 5.5 to 6 inches wide by 8 to 11 inches tall. #### Does an oversized postcard cost more to mail? Usually, yes. Once a card passes the 4.25 by 6 inch postcard maximum it stops earning the postcard rate, so it mails at letter prices instead, and 6" x 9" is the usual ceiling before a piece gets priced as a flat. Weigh a printed sample and confirm the class at your post office before the drop. #### Pick a stock that survives the trip A heavier coated stock keeps a large card from curling as it moves through the mail. Step up to the 24pt Ultra Thick Gloss for real heft, or add a High-Gloss UV coating to deepen the photo and the color across the whole face. For a richer hand, a metallic pearl stock catches the light, and the velvety [Silk Postcards](https://www.4over4.com/product/silk-postcards) read as premium the second someone picks one up. For more surface, the [Folded Postcards](https://www.4over4.com/product/folded-postcards) open into a mini brochure. #### Round the corners or score a fold line Rounded corners at a 3/8" or 1/8" radius soften the edges and make a big card feel finished instead of sharp. A score line keeps a heavy stock from cracking if you want it to fold cleanly. Both are right there in the options below, no setup files needed. #### Design it without a designer Start from a layout in our [postcard design templates](https://www.4over4.com/design-templates/postcards) and change the colors, copy and offer in the online editor. On a 6" x 11" sheet, one large photo and one headline read from across a room better than four small offers. Already have your own artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. Each [blank postcard template](https://www.4over4.com/blank-templates/postcards) is built at the real trim size, with the 1/8" bleed and the safe margin already drawn in, so your design never gets clipped. Grab the size that matches your run below, drop your art in, and upload. ### Press-Ready Blank Templates 1 blank layout, at 5.5" x 8.5", with the cut and safe margins marked - [01 Oversized Postcards 5.5" x 8.5" · from $51.62 for 50](https://www.4over4.com/blank-templates/oversized-postcards) [Browse more](https://www.4over4.com/blank-templates/oversized-postcards) ### How Much Do Oversized Postcards Cost Oversized postcards start at $51.62 for a set of 50 at 4OVER4.COM, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the run climbs toward 100,000. Printing and any variable-data addressing run on one job, then USPS postage is paid on top, priced by the card size and your mail class. Oversized postcards start at $51.62 per set of 50, and the per-card price keeps dropping across 40 quantity tiers as the count climbs toward 100,000, so the real cost comes down to how big a run you order. A set of 100 runs $62.40, 200 come to $78.20, 500 land at $125.65, and a full 2,000-card drop is $283.82. Most first runs settle around 200, which is also our best-rated quantity. Set the slider below to the size of your mailing list to see the set total and the per-card cost at that count. ## Wally makes your postcard impossible to ignore Why a stack of big cards fills a mailbox instead of the recycling. Fifty oversized postcards cost $51.62, and the extra size means yours lands on top of the mail pile, not under it. Print up to 6 by 11 inch, add scoring or rounded corners, and pick a stock that feels the part. Set your speed and Wally gets them out the door fast. ### Oversized Postcards Price By Quantity 50 for $51.62 ( $1.03 each) up to 500 for $125.65 ( 25.1¢ each) - 50, $52, $1.03 each - 100, $62, 62.4¢ each - 200, $78, 39.1¢ each - 300, $94, 31.3¢ each - 400, $110, 27.5¢ each - 500, $126, 25.1¢ each - 50 units: $51.62 - 100 units: $62.40 - 200 units: $78.20 - 300 units: $94.02 - 400 units: $109.84 - 500 units: $125.65 ### Can You Personalize Each Oversized Postcard Yes. Turn on variable data and each card carries a unique name, address or code from your list. Choose the Variable Data option and upload a spreadsheet that maps one row per card. Pair variable data with full color on both sides and a heavier stock, and each card carries a name on one side and the offer on the other. When you would rather hand off the whole campaign and have it printed and mailed in one move, the [Direct Mail Postcards](https://www.4over4.com/product/direct-mail-postcards) bundle the printing and the mailing together, addressing included. ### How Do Oversized Postcards Compare to the Rest A smaller standard size costs less to print and mail, a premium finish changes the feel, and a fully managed mailing takes the drop off your hands. The chart below lines up oversized postcards against their closest siblings, including the value-priced [Standard Postcards](https://www.4over4.com/product/postcards) and the [Die Cut Postcards](https://www.4over4.com/product/die-cut-postcards), so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose. ### The smart pick in postcards Oversized Postcards beside Standard Postcards, Mini Cards, Magnet Postcards, out of 62 postcards styles - Lowest entry price in the category, $16.48, [Standard Postcards](https://www.4over4.com/product/postcards), and 27 more at this price, the cheapest way into the category - Most-reviewed style in the category, 247 reviews, Standard Postcards, the category's top-reviewed pick at 4.9★ | | Oversized Postcards | Standard Postcards | Mini Cards | Magnet Postcards | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Min price | $51.62 | $16.48 | $17.57 | $19.68 | | Paper / stock | 14pt Gloss Cover | 14pt Gloss Cover | 14pt Gloss Cover | 17pt Indoor Magnet | | Finish | Standard Finish | Standard Finish | Standard Finish | UV Coating | | Default qty | 50 | 50 | 100 | 25 | | Turnaround | 3 business days | 3 business days | 3 business days | 5 business days | | Rating | ★ 4.9 (102) | ★ 4.9 (247) | ★ 4.9 (114) | ★ 4.7 (15) | #### What is the largest postcard you can print?

A set of 50 is $51.62, and it exists so a short list or a first test does not push you into a run you cannot use. The ladder above it is where the number moves: 100 cards run $62.40, 200 come to $78.20, 500 land at $125.65, and a 2,000 card drop is $283.82. Most first orders settle around 200, which is also the best-rated quantity here. Forty quantity tiers sit between 50 and 100,000, so the gap between two neighboring counts is usually small enough that rounding up costs very little per card. Work out the mailing list first, then take the tier just above it rather than the one just below, because a reprint to cover the shortfall costs more than the extra cards would have. ## Oversized Postcards: Frequently Asked Questions ### What sizes do oversized postcards come in? There are 4 oversized formats: 5.5" x 8.5", 6" x 8", 6" x 9" and a 6" x 11" jumbo. A custom size is available on request if none of the four fit your layout. The larger 6" x 9" and 6" x 11" can cross into oversize postage rates, so check your mail class before a big drop. ### What paper stocks can I print on? You can choose from 22 premium stocks, including coated and uncoated covers, white linen, four metallic pearl finishes, StarLustre Platinum, and synthetic plastic or rigid PVC. Print full color on the front only, the front with a black back, or on both sides. ### Can I add a gloss finish or rounded corners? Yes. A High-Gloss UV coating is available on top of the standard finish, plus rounded corners at a 3/8" or 1/8" radius and optional scoring so a heavy stock folds without cracking. All of these sit right in the live configurator, no setup files needed. ### How fast can I get oversized postcards? Standard production is 3 business days. You can speed that up to 2-day, Next-Day or Same-Day for a set percentage on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you need it. Same-Day orders must be approved by noon EST to print that day. ### Can I personalize each card or have them mailed? Yes to personalization: turn on variable data and a unique name, code or address prints on every single card. The oversized group itself is print-only, so for a fully managed print-and-mail campaign with addressing included, use the Direct Mail Postcards product. ### What is the largest size postcard you can send? 6" x 11" is the biggest one here, the jumbo, and it sits on top of the pile face up instead of buried in it. Postage is the real limit. Past 4.25" x 6" the card no longer qualifies for the postcard rate and gets charged as a letter, and once you go beyond 6" x 9" it is usually rated as a flat. Take a printed sample to the counter, have it weighed, and get the class confirmed before you mail the run. ### Is 5x7 too big for a postcard? It is past the 4.25 by 6 inch postcard maximum, so a 5 by 7 card mails at letter prices rather than the postcard rate. This page starts a step above that anyway, at a 5.5" x 8.5" half page, then runs through 6" x 8", 6" x 9" and the 6" x 11" jumbo. If postage matters more than presence, price the letter rate on a sample before you commit to the format. Questions about Oversized Postcards? [See answers](https://www.4over4.com/help/postcards)
