Sizes
Are you thinking there’s only one size for standard postcards? Actually, there’s a whole range of sizes, not just 5x7 postcard printing! At Gold Image Printing, standard postcards can be printed in any of the following standard sizes: 4.25” x 5.5”, 6.5” x 9.5”, 6” x 11”, 3” x 4”, 4” x 6”, 5” x 7”, 5.5” x 8.5”, and 6” x 9”. But the choices don’t end there! Austin clients can order standard postcards in any custom size of their choosing.

Paper
One of the easiest ways to customize your postcards printing is by changing up the paper stock. Choose from any of our incredible paper stock options, or get in touch with us via a custom quote request to have our team of designers help you make a selection that will be perfect for your needs. Some of our favorites include 100 lb silk cover stock that is flexible yet durable, and silky-smooth to the touch; 14pt matte cover stock that is great for adding a handwritten signature; and 14pt stardream metallic crystal white cover paper with a subtle pearlescent shimmer. Take a look at our paper stocks collection to visualize all your options for high quality postcard printing at our Austin printing services hub.
Color
Austin is known as a colorful city, so represent your locale with standard postcards that are filled with color! Our high-quality digital printer can do just that, thanks to our blend of primary colors cyan, magenta, yellow, and black-key (CMYK) that can produce any color combo you throw our way. Opt to print front side only or front and back - you can expect flawless results either way. We also offer Pantone matching if you have a specific color in mind. Simply request a custom quote to get the process started.
Coating and Round Corner
Our online postcard printing services enable you to add custom features to standard postcards, taking them from basic to bougie with the click of a button. Add a coating to your 16pt silk cover stock for a semi-gloss or metallic shimmer effect. Add a ¼” rounded corner to soften both the look and feel. With subtle custom touches, our standard postcards will help you stand out from the crowd, as you hit refresh on the tried-and-true method of post card printing.
Specialties
If you’re looking for even more options to change up your standard postcards, consider adding one or more of our incredible printing specialties. Gold Image Printing is proud to offer a comprehensive array of specialty printing services in-house, so you can get that bespoke look without the long wait. Change up the shape with die cutting, a process that we use to cut your postcard into any custom shape - even the iconic Austin skyline! White ink is another eye-catching option, especially when crisp white lettering is printed on a bold, graphic background. Don’t forget about the sense of touch: velvet lamination offers a long-lasting overlay that your clients will want to run their fingers over. It’s easy to view all our specialty options when you click the change type feature at the top of the page, or by visiting our Postcards Printing Services Page. When it comes to standard postcards, we think you will agree that ours set the gold standard!
Printing Turnaround
At Gold Image Printing, we understand that time is of the essence, especially in a bustling city like Austin. That is why we offer 3 HOUR RUSH turnaround time on any order for standard postcards. Few postcard printing companies can offer such a swift turnaround, but thanks to our capable machines, state of the art printing facility, and supply chain expertise, we can get your rush job done on time, no sweat. If you have more time to play with, we also offer same business day, next business day, and 2 business day turnaround times for postcard printing services.
Quantity
Standard postcards are meant to be a flexible option, so we’ve made sure our order quantity options allow flexibility, too. Our minimum order quantity for standard postcards is 25, and our maximum order quantity is 5,000, with a range of incremental options in between. Keep in mind that the postcard printing cost goes down with higher quantities, and we pass on those cost savings to our clients. Want the best possible deal on a wholesale order? Go with our Bulk Offset Postcards for quantities of 1,000 and up. Saving money just makes sense.
Not sure whether standard postcards will be right for you? Try one of our specialty postcards, like Raised Foil Postcards that sparkle with gold, silver, or holographic foil. If durability is a concern, opt for Ultra Thick Postcards that are virtually unbendable. If you simply need a professional way to get your brand name out there, business cards provide a low-key, high-impact option.
