Question
Does EDDM postcard size affect postage cost?
Answer
Yes, size directly affects EDDM postage because it determines whether your piece is classified as a letter or a flat. Letters get the lowest EDDM retail rate, and flats cost more per piece.
| Class | Example size | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Letter | 6.5" x 9" and similar smaller sizes | Lowest EDDM rate |
| Flat | Larger formats up to 12" x 15" | Higher per piece |
Both are far cheaper than addressed first-class mail, but on a large route mailing the per-piece difference adds up fast, so it is worth confirming which class your dimensions land in before you print.
