The options
Stocks, finishes, and features to choose from
Buckslips come in a range of paper stocks and finish options so you can match the feel of your brand. Want something sturdy that holds up in a mailer? Go thicker. Need a glossy look for a retail promo? There is a finish for that. Add variable data, perforation, or rounded corners to fit the job. If you need something completely custom, check out custom projects for tailored sizing and materials.
Paper Stocks
Choose 100# gloss text for vivid color, 100# silk or matte text for a smooth low-glare read, or 70# uncoated text for a natural feel that takes a pen.
Finishes
Keep a standard finish for everyday inserts, or add high-gloss UV coating when you want a slip that catches the light inside the package.
Variable Data
Print unique codes, names, or offers on every slip with variable data, so each insert speaks directly to the person opening the box.
Perforation & Corners
Add a perforated tear-off coupon, or round the corners at a 1/8 or 3/8 inch radius for a softer, more finished edge.
Match it
Match the buckslip to the job
The right slip depends on where it will land. Pick the use case first, and the stock, finish, and design choices get easier. A package insert drives reorders, an invoice stuffer adds an upsell, and a takeout drop-in promotes what is next.

How businesses actually use buckslips
Buckslips are not one-trick inserts. They pull their weight across dozens of real-world scenarios, from a subscription box to a dental mailing. The low cost per unit is what makes them so flexible. They ride along with print you already send and add a marketing touch for pennies.
E-commerce and subscription boxes
Tuck a buckslip with a discount code into every package. It costs pennies per unit and drives repeat purchases while the customer already has the box open.
Real estate agents
Include a slip with your listing flyers highlighting recent sales, open-house dates, or mortgage snapshots. It fits right inside a folder or envelope.
Restaurants and cafes
Drop buckslips into takeout bags promoting your catering menu, a loyalty punch card, or upcoming events. Small investment, big visibility.
Healthcare and dental offices
Add appointment reminders, new-service announcements, or referral incentives to patient mailings, where a clean slip feels intentional rather than spammy.
Direct mail campaigns
Buckslips are built for the mailbox. Sized for a #10 envelope, they extend a letter or postcard offer without pushing you into a heavier postage tier.
Product packaging inserts
Add care instructions, a thank-you note, and a reorder code to every shipment. A candle, apparel, or beauty brand can lift reorders with one small slip.
I run a small candle business and slip a buckslip into every order with care instructions and a 10% off code. Reorders went up noticeably within the first month.
Design tips
Designing buckslips that people actually read
A buckslip is only as good as the design printed on it. You have a small canvas, so here is how to make yours count, from one clear action to full-bleed art that holds up at the trim.
Lead with one clear action
Do not cram three offers onto one slip. Pick your strongest promotion, coupon, or call to action and make it unmissable with one bold headline and one reason to act.
Use both sides
The front grabs attention with a headline and visual. The back carries the details, whether that is a promo code, a URL, a QR code, or the fine print. You already paid for double-sided printing, so use it.
Hold high contrast
Buckslips get glanced at, not studied. Use bold color contrast and fonts no smaller than 10pt. If someone cannot read it in two seconds, they will not read it at all. The <a href="/blank-templates/buckslips">buckslip templates</a> give you a proven starting layout.
Bleed to the edge
Full-bleed designs look polished and professional. Set up your file with proper bleed margins so nothing important gets cut off during trimming.
The design templates made it so easy. I am not a designer at all, but our buckslips looked like we hired someone. Great quality on the glossy finish too.

Myth vs fact
What to know before you order buckslips
Four myths about buckslips, set straight, so you order the right insert the first time and know exactly what a small slip can do for your marketing.
Buckslips are just filler that customers toss out.
A single clear offer or code turns a slip into a repeat-purchase driver, and at higher volumes it costs only pennies per unit to include.
You need a designer to make a buckslip look good.
Ready-to-customize templates and the online designer let anyone produce a polished, print-ready slip without hiring a pro.
A buckslip only works in direct mail.
They shine in package inserts, invoice stuffers, takeout bags, and listing folders too, wherever a customer already has your envelope or box open.
Printing one side is the smart way to save.
You are already paying for the sheet, so a printed back for details, a QR code, or fine print earns its keep and lifts response.

Upside & trade-offs
What a buckslip does well, and what to weigh
The honest pros and cons, so you know exactly where a buckslip shines and where it needs a plan before you commit to a run.
Where buckslips win
- Cheap to print in volume, often just pennies per unit at higher quantities
- Fits a standard #10 envelope, so it drops into mailers, invoices, and packages
- Doubles as a coupon, thank-you note, or promo insert without adding bulk
- Variable data lets every slip carry a unique code or a personalized name
What to weigh first
- The small canvas forces one clear message, so cramming offers backfires
- It works best inside another mailing, not as a standalone piece
- Full-bleed art needs proper bleed margins so nothing gets trimmed off
- A high-gloss UV finish costs a little more than a plain uncoated stock
How they work
How businesses actually use buckslips
Buckslips are not just filler, they are strategic. In e-commerce and subscription boxes, a slip with a discount code rides along in every package for pennies per unit and drives the next purchase, right when the customer already has the box open. Real estate agents tuck one into a listing folder with recent sales or open-house dates, and restaurants drop them into takeout bags to promote catering or a loyalty punch card.
Healthcare and dental offices add appointment reminders, new-service announcements, or referral incentives to patient mailings, where a clean slip feels intentional rather than spammy. With a 99.8% on-time delivery rate, the slips arrive when the campaign needs them. If your idea runs past standard specs, a custom project can size it to fit, and repeat orders earn coins through the loyalty program.
Stocks and finishes
Paper stocks, finishes, and pricing
Buckslips come in a range of paper stocks so you can match the feel of your brand. Pick 100# gloss text for vivid color, 100# silk or matte text for a smooth low-glare read, or 70# uncoated text for a natural surface that takes a pen. Sized to fit a standard #10 envelope, they slide into mailers, invoice stuffers, and package additions without adding bulk.
Add a standard finish for everyday inserts, or high-gloss UV coating when you want the slip to catch the light. Every order ships with a free digital proof, so you see exactly what you are getting before anything hits the press. Building a fuller campaign?

Design that reads
Designing buckslips that people actually read
A buckslip lives or dies by its design. You have a small canvas, so every element earns its spot. Pick your single strongest offer, coupon, or call to action and make it unmissable with one bold headline and one reason to act. Use both sides: the front grabs attention with a headline and visual, and the back carries the promo code, URL, QR code, or fine print you already paid to print.
Buckslips get glanced at, not studied, so hold strong color contrast and keep fonts at 10pt or larger. Bleed images to the edge with proper margins so nothing gets trimmed during finishing. Need a head start? Open a ready-to-customize buckslip template in the designer, review the free proof, and you are set. To outfit a full event, add a matching banner stand to the order.
