Plumbing Postcards

They are cheap to print and cheap to mail, and a customer can keep one on the refrigerator door until something breaks. To compare plumbing postcards with the rest of the range, browse every style on postcards printing, or build yours from the choices below.

Fifty postcards at $16.48 cover a past-customer list or a single street, and a new-mover program across several zip codes can run up to 100,000. Tap any tier below to see its total and what the step up saves.

What Are Plumbing Postcards

Plumbing postcards are full-color marketing mailers built for plumbing and HVAC businesses, printed in 14 sizes from a 2.5" x 2.5" card up to a 6" x 11" jumbo, on any of 22 stocks. Companies send them for seasonal service offers, maintenance reminders, new-mover welcomes, referral cards, and coupons for water-heater or drain-cleaning specials. Because a postcard needs no envelope, the offer shows the moment it comes out of the mailbox. If you want the plain version without the plumbing focus, the Standard Postcards cover that, and these sit right beside them tuned for a service business.

What Size Should a Plumbing Postcard Be

The right size comes down to how much you need to say and how much room you want in the mailbox. The smallest is 2.5" x 2.5", a pocket-sized card for a counter handout or a leave-behind after a service call. From there the presets climb through 3" x 3", 3" x 4" and 4" x 4" and on up to the biggest option, a 6" x 11" jumbo, the largest card in the mailbox, with room for a coupon, a before-and-after photo and your full service list. There are 14 sizes in all, and if none is exactly right you can set a custom size up to 6" x 11". For a smaller keepsake handout instead of a mailer, the Mini Cards go down to a 2 inch square.

Two choices shape the card.

Pick a stock that survives the fridge

A postcard that ends up on the refrigerator door needs to feel like more than junk mail. A heavier 24pt ultra-thick gloss gives a mailer real presence, an uncoated cream reads warm and personal, and a High-Gloss UV Coating deepens a before-and-after photo or a logo. The default 14pt Gloss Cover keeps a big mailing cheap, and the recycled 30% and 100% post-consumer stocks let you print greener when that matters to your customers.

Design it without a designer

Start from a layout in our postcard design templates, part of the 10,000+ designs 4OVER4 offers across its catalog, and change the colors, copy, phone number and logo in the online editor. Put one seasonal offer and the phone number on the front, and the service list and license number on the back.

Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. Each blank plumbing postcard template is built at the real trim size with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the cut. Grab the size that matches your order below, drop your art in, and upload.

How Much Do Plumbing Postcards Cost

Plumbing postcards start at $16.48 per 50, and the per-postcard price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 100,000, so a cheap mailer comes down to how big a run you order. A set of 800 runs $73.60, 7,000 run $176.61, and a 25,000-piece neighborhood campaign is $491.20, which lands each card under 2 cents at the top of the run. Set the slider below to the number of homes on your mailing list to see the total and the per-postcard cost.

Can You Print a Name or Code on Each Postcard

Yes. Turn on variable data and you can drop a unique name, address or one-off promo code onto every card in the run. That turns a plumbing postcard into a targeted new-mover mailer, a numbered referral card, or a coupon where every code is different. Upload a spreadsheet with one row per card and the design stays fixed while the details change.

How Do Plumbing Postcards Compare to Other Postcards

A premium finish or a smaller format each start at their own price. The chart below lines up plumbing postcards against their closest siblings, including the Metallic Foil Postcards, so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

How Fast Can You Get Plumbing Postcards

Plumbing postcards print on a 3 business day standard turnaround, and when a promotion has to hit mailboxes before a holiday weekend you can move that to 2-day, Next-Day or even Same-Day production out of our NYC plant. Each step buys back time for a set percentage on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Same-Day orders need approval by the daily cutoff to ship that day. You can also run a free online proof to check your file before it prints. Compare every turnaround tier below and see exactly what the rush adds before you pick.

Which Plumbing Postcard Campaigns Fill the Calendar

Four drops carry most of the year. A seasonal card before the first freeze, offering a water-heater check or pipe insulation, which is the one that turns into January emergency calls. A maintenance reminder to past customers, timed to the anniversary of the last job on the books. A new-mover welcome into the zip codes you already service, since a household that just moved has no plumber yet. And a referral card printed with optional variable data, so every customer gets a different code and you can see which drop paid for itself. All four run off the same artwork with the offer swapped out, and a set of 50 starts at $16.48, so testing one against another costs very little.

Coupons and Codes That Make a Postcard Trackable

A plumbing postcard with no code on it is a card you cannot measure. Variable data prints a different promo code on every card in the run from a spreadsheet, one row per card, while the design stays fixed, so the code read out on the phone tells you which list and which drop produced the call. A flat coupon works when the offer is the same for everyone, and the 6" x 11" jumbo leaves room for that coupon to sit apart from the main offer instead of fighting it. Print 4/4 and the coupon goes on the back with the service list, leaving the front for one offer and your number.
