Start the School Year in Every Mailbox

The countdown to the first bell starts in August, and a back to school postcard lands with your enrollment date, class schedule or supply sale already showing, no envelope to open. A parent reads it on the walk in from the mailbox. Compare it with the rest of the range on postcards printing.

An open house reminder for 300 families costs $38.45, about 13 cents a card, against 33 cents each in a set of 50.

What Are Back to School Postcards

They are full color cards for the start of term, part of our back to school range. Schools use them for enrollment and open house reminders, tutoring centers and studios promote fall sessions, and shops run supply, uniform and dorm sales. For the everyday card without the season, see the Standard Postcards.

What Size Should a Back to School Postcard Be

A 2.5" x 2.5" or 3" x 3" card works as a locker handout, a bag stuffer or an orientation save-the-date. A 3" x 4" or 4" x 4" gives a schedule or a coupon room. The 6" x 11" carries a calendar, a map, an offer and an address block on one card. For a metallic upgrade, the Metallic Foil Postcards add foil, and the square Mini Cards are a pocket-sized pick.

Pick a stock that fits the season

The default 14pt Gloss Cover keeps a mailer bright and cheap, and the 24pt ultra thick cover gives it presence in the hand. Uncoated and cream stocks take a handwritten note, and the 30% and 100% post-consumer papers are the ones to specify when a district has a sustainability policy. For a card that shines all over, see our metallic postcards.

Design it without a designer

Pick a layout in our postcard design templates and set the school or store name, the date and the offer in the online editor: the enrollment date or the sale on the front, the schedule or map on the back.

Building the card in your own software? The blank back to school postcard template carries the trim, the 1/8" bleed and the safe margin for each size.

Can You Print a Name or Address on Each Postcard

Yes. Turn on variable data and each card carries its own name, address or code while the design stays fixed, so a first-week mailer arrives with the family's name on it, or an orientation invite is addressed to each student, all in one run.

How Fast Can You Get Back to School Postcards

Standard production is 3 business days, and each faster speed, down to Same-Day, adds a set percentage on top of the base price. Same Day orders need to be approved by noon EST to ship that day. Add mailing time on top, since the card only works if it lands while families are still buying supplies.

Back to School Postcards: Frequently Asked Questions

Should an open house postcard be mailed or handed out?

Mail it if the families are new to the school, since the card reaches the home before anyone has a reason to visit. For current families, a stack at pickup or in backpacks costs nothing to deliver.

Can the postcards be folded?

No, this product prints flat cards with no scoring. For a card with an inside page, look at the folded formats in the postcard range.
