Question
How big are postcards compared to regular paper?
Answer
It helps to picture postcard sizes against a standard 8.5 by 11 inch letter sheet. A 4 by 6 card is roughly a quarter of that page, while larger formats climb toward half or two-thirds of the sheet.
| Postcard size | Compared to a letter sheet |
|---|---|
| 4 x 6 in | About one-quarter of the page |
| 5.5 x 8.5 in | Exactly half the page |
| 6 x 9 in | Roughly two-thirds of the page |
The 6 by 9 format is the largest common option and gives you the most room for imagery and offers.
