Printed full color on your pick of 22 stocks, it carries a destination, a brand, or a wish-you-were-here into someone's hands and onto their fridge. Sets of 50 start at $16.48 and are rated 4.8 out of 5 across 19 reviews. A glossy photo front shows the destination, an uncoated back takes a pen for the message and the address, and the same card doubles as a rack souvenir, a hotel mailer, or a direct-mail promo for a tour. To compare travel postcards with the rest of the range, browse every option on [postcards printing](https://www.4over4.com/postcards-printing), or build yours from the choices below. A set of 50 starts at $16.48, and the per-postcard cost keeps sliding as the count climbs. Fifty stocks one gift shop rack; a tour operator mailing every past guest before the season pays far less per card on a bigger run.

Shops, hotels and tour operators order a travel postcard when a plain flyer would not do the job: destination souvenirs on a shop rack, wish you were here cards mailed home, welcome cards left in a hotel room, and promo cards for a tour operator or a travel agency. You print full color on the front, choose a blank, black, or full color back, pick your stock and size, and the order box shows the total for those picks. If you want the plain rectangle instead, the [Standard Postcards](https://www.4over4.com/product/postcards) cover that, and the travel version sits right beside it. ### What sizes can travel postcards be Travel postcards come in 14 set sizes at 4OVER4, from a 2.5" x 2.5" square up to a 6" x 11" card, with a 2.5" x 2.5" default and presets at 3" x 3", 3" x 4", and 4" x 4". You can order a custom size made to order up to 6" x 11", and add rounded corners at a 1/8" or 3/8" radius. The right size depends on how the card gets used. A small 2.5" x 2.5" or 3" x 3" square works as a rack card or a gift-shop souvenir. A 3" x 4" or 4" x 4" gives a photo more space. The larger sizes up toward 6" x 11" read like a mini flyer, with space for a map, a message, and a mailing panel. Rounded corners soften the look at a 1/8" or 3/8" radius, and the specs panel below lists all 14 sizes. ### Travel Postcards , Configured Your Way 6 option groups, 34 choices, defaults: 14pt Gloss Cover, 4/0: 4 Color Front; Blank Back, Standard Finish #### Design it without a designer Start from one of thousands of free, professionally built layouts in our [postcards design templates](https://www.4over4.com/design-templates/postcards), put one destination photo across the front, and leave the right half of the back clear for the stamp and address in the online editor. If your artwork is ready, skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. Each [blank travel postcard template](https://www.4over4.com/blank-templates/travel-postcards) is built at the real trim size with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design stays clear of the cut. Pick the size that matches your order below, place your art, and upload. ## Wally mails your trip, not just a photo Why a $16.48 stack of travel postcards keeps a destination in someone's hands. A set of 50 travel postcards costs $16.48, printed full color on your pick of 22 stocks. Send them as destination souvenirs, hotel mailers, or wish you were here cards, choose a writable uncoated back or a glossy photo front, and Wally ships them from NYC as fast as same day. ### Press-Ready Blank Templates 1 blank layout, at 2.5" x 2.5", with the cut and safe margins marked - [Postcards From $16.48 for 50](https://www.4over4.com/blank-templates/postcards) [Browse more](https://www.4over4.com/blank-templates/postcards) ### What paper stocks and finishes can you choose 4OVER4 offers 22 paper stocks for travel postcards, from gloss and uncoated covers to silk matte, cream uncoated, soft touch, white and premium linen, metallic pearl in ice, champagne, silver and gold, StarLustre, synthetic plastic, and rigid vinyl. Weights run from 10pt up to a thick 26pt. Finish options are Standard or High Gloss UV Coating, and ink prints 4/0 front only, 4/1 front plus black back, or 4/4 full color on both sides. Choose the stock by what happens to the back. A gloss or silk cover keeps a destination photo bright, while an uncoated or cream stock takes pen ink cleanly on the back, which matters when the card gets mailed with a note. Linen adds texture you can feel, the metallic pearl stocks shimmer under light, and the synthetic plastic and rigid vinyl options survive a little rain and wear on the road. Several stocks carry 30% or 100% recycled content if you want a greener card. Finish plain with a Standard coat or add a High Gloss UV Coating to deepen the photo, and set your ink to 4/0, 4/1, or 4/4 depending on whether you print the back. ### How much do travel postcards cost Travel postcards start at $16.48 for 50, about 33 cents each, and 40 quantity tiers run up to 100,000, where each card costs under 2 cents. A souvenir shop reorders in the hundreds, and a hotel group mailing every past guest orders in the thousands, so the tier you pick sets the per-card price. Stock, finish and turnaround adjust the total, and the order box shows the exact number before you commit. Past the first 50, the per-card price drops at each tier: 800 run $73.60, 7,000 run $176.61, and 25,000 run $491.20, with a full 100,000-card mailing at $1,721.38. A heavier stock, a High Gloss UV coat or a rush speed shift the total. Want a side-by-side quote? 4OVER4's Price Match beats a lower price from a U.S. retail printer by 10% - the 110% price-match guarantee. A first campaign often runs a few hundred to a few thousand cards, depending on the mailing list. Count the addresses or the rack slots you need to fill, and drag the slider below to see the total and the per-postcard cost at that number. ### Travel 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 or Code on Each Postcard Yes. Turn on variable data and you can place a unique name, a serial number, a booking code or a QR link on each card in the run. That turns a travel postcard into a numbered loyalty mailer, a hotel welcome card with a real guest name, or a promo where every code is different. Pair it with full color on both sides and a finish that fits, and you upload one file for the whole personalized run. ### How Do Travel Postcards Compare to the Rest of the Range A travel postcard gives you a photo front and a writable back.

Full color both sides and variable data printing let each card carry a different name, code, or QR link in a single run. Because a travel postcard pairs a strong photo with a writable back, it slips into a lot of jobs. Gift shops rack them as souvenirs. Hotels leave them on the pillow with a welcome note. Tour operators mail them to past guests with a returning-traveler code. Wedding and event planners send destination save-the-dates. And travel brands run them as direct mail, with a QR code on the back that jumps straight to a booking page. Each of those jobs needs only the card, a photo and a stamp. ### How fast can you get travel postcards printed 4OVER4 prints travel postcards on four turnaround speeds, from same-day out of the New York City facility to a standard 3 business days, with next-day and 2-day in between. Order by the daily cutoff and a same-day job ships that afternoon, and faster speeds adjust the price. Deadline before a trip or a mailing drops? Same-day printing exists for exactly that. Order by the cutoff and your travel postcards ship the same afternoon from the NYC plant. If the timeline is roomier, next-day and 2-day sit in the middle, and the standard 3-day keeps the price lowest. Four speeds, one dropdown, and 99.8% of 4OVER4 orders land on time with 82% shipping early, so you are not gambling on the date. ### See the Rest of Our Postcards Travel postcards are one stop in a larger lineup, and you can scan the full [print product range](https://www.4over4.com/products) any time.

Yes, if you choose an uncoated stock for the card. An uncoated back takes a pen cleanly for a message and an address, which is the whole point of a postcard people mail from a trip. A High Gloss UV Coating over the surface is the finish to avoid on a side meant to be written on. ### How do I print a photo front and a writable back? Set the card to print full color on the front with the back left blank or printed in black only, which is one of the ink configurations on this product. That gives you a glossy destination photo on the face and a plain reverse for the note, the address block and a stamp area. Full color on both sides is also available if the back carries artwork instead. ### What is the minimum order for a rack run? Sets of 50 start at $16.48, roughly 33 cents a card. As the run climbs to 100,000 the per-card price slides toward under 2 cents. A hotel or a gift shop testing a design can start small and reorder at a better tier once it sells. ### Which stocks feel like a keepsake rather than a flyer? There are 22 stocks running from 10pt up to 26pt, including soft touch, linen, metallic pearl, StarLustre, cream, synthetic plastic and rigid vinyl. The heavier weights and the textured finishes are what make a card feel worth keeping instead of being thrown out. Some of the stocks are recycled if that matters to the shop selling them. ### What sizes can travel postcards be printed at? There are 14 sizes, from a 2.5" x 2.5" square up to a 6" x 11" card, plus custom sizing made to order. Rounded corners are an option on any of them, which suits a souvenir card that gets carried in a bag. Check your mail carrier's size rules before committing to the largest or smallest formats for a mailed card. ### Can the same card work as both a souvenir and a direct mailer? That is a common use. The same printed card sells off a rack as a souvenir, goes out as a hotel mailer, and works as a direct-mail promo for a tour, because the format carries a photo front and an open back. Standard turnaround is 3 business days with 2-day, Next-Day and Same-Day rush, and the product is rated 4.8 out of 5 across 19 reviews. Questions about Travel Postcards?
