Three text stocks
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.
Where it lands
Invoice stuffer, package insert, or mail piece
A 3.5 x 8.5 slip rides in a #10 envelope beside an invoice, and a 4 x 9 slip gives a package insert a little more room for a code or a QR. A package insert drives reorders, an invoice stuffer adds an upsell, and a takeout drop-in promotes what is next.

Wally slips the offer in the box
One small insert, one clear action
A buckslip is the cheapest way to turn a package into a marketing touchpoint. Pick your stock, print one bold offer on both sides, and drop it into every mailing or shipment. Start from a free template, let the proof confirm it, and watch reorders climb.
Order buckslips →Invoices to takeout bags
How businesses actually use buckslips
A subscription box, a dental mailing and a takeout bag all carry the same 3.5 x 8.5 or 4 x 9 inch slip, ordered from 25 pieces up to 100,000. 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.
Agents with listing flyers
Include a slip with your listing flyers highlighting recent sales, open-house dates, or mortgage snapshots. It fits right inside a folder or envelope.
Takeout bags and catering menus
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.
Small canvas rules
Designing buckslips that people actually read
A buckslip is only as good as the design printed on it. You have a small canvas, so these rules 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.

Filler or offer
Buckslip myths, and what the insert really does
Four myths about buckslips, each checked against the real specs, from the 25 piece first run to the perforated tear-off that turns a slip into a coupon.
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.

Earns its place or not
Where an insert earns its place, and where it falls flat
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.
Cheap in volume, easy to slip in
- 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
One message, inside another mailing
- 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
Stocks and finishes
Paper stocks, finishes, and pricing

Sized to fit a standard #10 envelope, they slide into mailers, invoice stuffers, and package additions without adding bulk.
