Mail a Postcard That Arrives in a Tuxedo
This postcard prints on a 26pt Metallic Pearl Ice sheet, a heavyweight stock with a pearlescent surface that glows and shifts as light moves across it, so a mailed promo, a save-the-date, or a thank-you inside a shipped order catches the eye in a stack of flat mail. Sets of 50 start at $30.76 and are rated 4.8 out of 5 across 5 reviews.
The color picks up a soft metallic sheen that plain paper cannot give it, and the 26pt weight feels solid when someone pulls the card from an envelope or a box. To compare them with the rest of the range, browse every style on postcards printing, or build yours from the choices below.
A set of 50 starts at $30.76, and the per-postcard cost keeps sliding as the count climbs. Fifty covers save-the-dates for a small event; a shop slipping a pearl thank-you into every order for a season pays far less per card at the higher tiers.

What Are Ultra Thick Metallic Pearl Postcards
Ultra thick metallic pearl postcards are heavyweight cards printed full color on a single premium stock, a 26pt Metallic Pearl Ice sheet, in 14 sizes from a 2.5" x 2.5" square up to a 6" x 11". Businesses order them when a standard mailer would get lost: direct-mail promos, event invitations, save-the-dates, product announcements, and thank-you inserts for online orders. A thick, shimmering card often ends up pinned to a board instead of in the recycling. If you want a different heavyweight face, the Ultra Thick Kraft Postcards carry the same thickness on a natural kraft sheet.
What Size Should an Ultra Thick Metallic Pearl Postcard Be
Pick the size by how much you need to say. The 2.5" x 2.5" square default suits a compact promo or a save-the-date, small enough to feel like a token. Step up through the standard postcard sizes for a mailer with room for an offer and an image, or go all the way to 6" x 11" when you want the pearl finish to fill a mailbox. There are 14 sizes in all, and if none is exactly right you can set a custom size up to 6" x 11". The specs panel below lists all 14 sizes and the ink coverage options. For a roomier standard mailer, the Oversized Postcards go bigger on everyday stock.
If your artwork is ready, skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. The blank postcard template is built at the real trim size with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design stays clear of the cut. Pick the size that matches your order below, place your art, and upload.
How Much Do Ultra Thick Metallic Pearl Postcards Cost
Ultra thick metallic pearl postcards start at $30.76 per set of 50, and the per-postcard price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 5,000, so the run size sets the per-card price. A 300-card run is $123.02, 600 run $227.36, and 3,000 run $992.94, which pulls the per-card cost from about 62 cents down to roughly 32 cents.

Wally gives your message a pearl finish
Why a 26pt shimmer postcard gets kept, not tossed.

An ultra thick metallic pearl postcard starts at $30.76 for 50 and prints on a 26pt Metallic Pearl Ice stock, so every color reads with a soft pearl shimmer. Use it for direct mail, invitations, or a premium thank-you. Pick a size, set your speed, and Wally prints it fast.
What Makes the 26pt Metallic Pearl Ice Stock Special
Every card prints on this one stock. The 26pt weight gives the card real thickness in the hand. The Metallic Pearl Ice surface is the other half, a pearlescent coating that lends every color a lustrous, low-key metallic glow, so a white becomes a shimmer and a deep blue gains depth. You set your ink coverage to match the job: 4/0 prints full color on the front with a blank back, 4/1 adds black text on the back, and 4/4 runs full color on both sides. Pair full color on both sides with a larger size when the back has to carry an offer or a map.

Ultra Thick Metallic Pearl Postcards: Frequently Asked Questions
What size options do these postcards come in?
There are 14 sizes, from a 2.5" x 2.5" square up to a 6" x 11". A custom size can also be made up to 6" x 11", so an odd insert size for a shipped order is possible.
What makes the metallic pearl stock different?
It is a 26pt Metallic Pearl Ice sheet with a pearlescent surface, so printed color picks up a soft metallic sheen that plain paper cannot reproduce. The finish shifts as light moves across the card.
How heavy is the card in the hand?
At 26pt it is an ultra thick sheet, so the card lands with real weight instead of flexing like a standard postcard. That heft is a large part of why it stands out in a stack of mail.
What is the smallest order?
Sets start at 50 postcards for $30.76, and the per-card price drops as the run climbs toward 5,000. A small set is workable for a save-the-date, while a mailing campaign benefits from the higher tiers.
Can I leave the back blank for a mailing address?
Yes. The ink layouts are 4/0 for full color front with a blank back, 4/1 for a black back, and 4/4 for full color on both sides. Choose 4/0 if an address and message get added later.
What turnaround speeds can I pick?
Standard is 5 business days, with 4 business day, 3 business day, 2 business day, Next Day, and Same Day rush available. Select the speed while building the order so the price reflects it.
