What is the difference between a 4X9 postcard and a rack card?They are the same size — 4" x 9". The term "rack card" refers to how the piece is displayed (in a rack or display stand), while "postcard" refers to how it's used (mailed or handed out). At TheFlyerLab we print both on the same premium cardstock at the same price.
What is the turnaround time for 4X9 postcards?Most 4X9 postcard orders ship in 1 – 2 business days. Submit your order with print-ready files before 9pm EST and production begins the next business day. Shipping time is additional and varies by destination.
What stock are 4X9 postcards printed on?Orders up to 2,500 pieces are printed on premium 16pt heavyweight cardstock as standard. For orders of 5,000 and above, you can choose between 12pt standard or 16pt heavyweight stock.
Is double-sided printing the same price as single-sided?Yes — 4/4 full color (front and back) is the same price as 4/0 (front only) at TheFlyerLab. No upcharge for printing both sides.
How should I set up my 4X9 postcard file?Set up your file at 4.25" x 9.25" (includes 1/8" bleed on all sides), 300 DPI resolution, in CMYK color mode. Keep important text and logos within the safe zone, at least 1/8" from the trim edge.
Does the 4X9 qualify for EDDM mailing?No — the 4X9 does not meet USPS Every Door Direct Mail requirements. To qualify for EDDM, a piece must be greater than 10.5" long, OR greater than 6.125" high, OR greater than 0.25" thick. The 4X9 doesn't clear any of those thresholds — 9" falls short of 10.5" and 4" falls short of 6.125". If you need EDDM-compliant sizes, check out our EDDM mailer sizes including 6.5X9, 6.5X12, and 8.5X11.
What finish options are available?Choose from UV high gloss, UV front only, or matte (dull) finish. UV gloss is the most popular option — it makes colors vibrant and gives your rack cards a premium professional look.
