Question

What is the minimum thickness postcard the Post Office will accept?

Answer

Just as the post office caps how thick a postcard can be, it also sets a floor so the piece is sturdy enough to travel. According to the USPS, the minimum thickness for a postcard is 7 points.

  • Minimum mailable postcard thickness is 7 pt.
  • Thinner stock may not meet USPS mailing standards.
  • Pair this with the 16 pt maximum to keep your postcard within the mailable range.
