What Size Is a Standard Postcard?

A standard postcard is commonly A6 size, which is 105 mm x 148 mm. This is one of the most popular postcard sizes in Australia because it is compact, cost-effective and suitable for direct mail, invitations, promotional cards, thank-you cards and event handouts. Postcards can also be printed in DL or custom sizes depending on the design, message and distribution method. ze, it may be better treated as a brochure or folded card.

Our definition of a postcard is a flat, single-sided or double-sided printed card that has not been folded. If your artwork folds down to postcard size, it may be better treated as a brochure or folded card. When printed on lightweight paper stock, postcards are often referred to as pamphlets or leaflets. Postcards printed on heavy card stock can also be referred to as Cards, Postcards & Loyalty Cards.

Our definition of a Postcard is a flat sheet, single- or double-sided, that has not been folded.

Benefits of Postcard Printing

Postcards are a practical way to share a clear message in a format that is easy to keep, hand out, mail or include with a purchase.

  • Compact and easy to distribute: Postcards are simple to mail, hand out, place in customer orders, display on counters or include in event packs.
  • Strong visual impact: A postcard gives you room for a bold image, headline, offer or call to action without needing a folded format.
  • Suitable for many campaigns: Use postcards for invitations, vouchers, thank-you cards, direct mail, promotions, product launches, events and customer follow-ups.
  • Premium card feel: Heavier stocks, celloglaze and specialty finishes can make postcards feel more durable and valuable.
  • Cost-effective marketing: Postcards can be printed digitally for short runs or offset printed for larger campaigns where unit cost matters.

What to Consider Before Ordering Postcards

Before ordering postcard printing, check the details that affect price, turnaround and final presentation.

  • Stock: Heavier card stocks feel more premium, while uncoated stocks are easier to write on.
  • Finish: Matte or gloss celloglaze can add durability and change the look and feel of the card.

Digital Printing Vs Offset Printing

Please carefully consider whether you require Digital Printing or Offset Printing before making a decision as they are two different products with different pricing structures & Turnarounds/delivery times.

Digital Printing

Fast Print Digital printing is for printing small print runs with tight deadlines. We offer same day printing and 24 hour printing, however these are more expensive than our standard 2-3 day digital printing .

Offset Printing

Choose Offset Printing for printing Larger print runs or when you have more time for printing to be delivered. Offset Printing generally takes 5-Days including delivery.

Artwork Deadlines

All printing delivery times apply from receipt of correct artwork and confirmation of ability to meet deadline must be given. Fast printing turnarounds subject to availability and production schedule.

A surcharge applies to express same day printing and/or afterhours / weekend deliveries if required. Fast Print Services is not responsible for delays in transit. We are more than happy for you to arrange pick up or use your elected courier should your prefer.

Non-account clients must pay before the job is processed. Some jobs will require a 50% deposit before the job is processed and the final payment before your printing is dispatched.

Digital or Offset Postcard Printing

Digital postcard printing is usually best for short runs, urgent jobs, smaller quantities and campaigns where the artwork may change. It is a practical option for same-day or next-day postcard printing when the file is print-ready and the stock is available.

Offset postcard printing is often more economical for larger postcard runs where there is more time for production. It can be a better choice for high-volume direct mail, promotional campaigns and larger event or retail quantities.

If you are not sure which method is best, send us your quantity, deadline, stock preference and artwork. We can recommend the most practical production option.

What Affects Postcard Printing Costs?

Postcard printing costs depend on quantity, size, stock, number of sides, print method, finishing and turnaround.

For the fastest quote, send us your postcard artwork, quantity, size, stock preference, finish and deadline. We can then recommend the best production method for your budget and timing.

  • Matte celloglaze: A smooth, refined finish that reduces glare and gives postcards a premium feel.
  • Gloss celloglaze: A shiny finish that can make colours look more vibrant and adds extra protection.
  • Uncoated reverse: Useful when the back of the postcard needs to be written on.
  • Rounded corners: A simple way to soften the card shape and create a more finished look.
  • Foil, Spot UV or Scodix: Premium finishes for selected postcard designs, invitations or promotional cards.
  • Die cutting: Custom shapes can be quoted where the design needs a more distinctive result.
