Question

Can 15pt Synthetic Plastic and 18pt Rigid Vinyl PVC postcards be hole-punched?

Answer

Both 15pt synthetic plastic and 18pt rigid vinyl PVC are tough, tear-resistant, water-resistant stocks, which makes them good candidates for a drilled hole when you need to hang, string, or clip the finished card. Hole drilling is offered as a finishing add-on on many products, but whether it can be applied to a specific plastic or vinyl postcard depends on the card size, the margin around the hole, and how the artwork sits near the edge.

  • Keep any hole at least a quarter inch away from live text or important artwork so nothing is clipped.
  • Standard drill diameters run roughly 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch. Confirm the exact size before you finalize the file.
  • Position matters on rigid vinyl, since the material is stiff and the hole should sit in a solid area, not across a fold or crease.

Because feasibility depends on the exact layout, confirm hole placement and drill size on the product page or with 4OVER4 support before you order. Options and turnaround can vary by product and may change.
