Whether you're promoting a restaurant special, marketing a real estate listing, announcing a church event, or running a local business campaign — the 8.5X5.5 gives your design room to breathe and your offer room to shine.

What is the turnaround time for 8.5X5.5 postcards?Most 8.5X5.5 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 8.5X5.5 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.
Does the 8.5X5.5 qualify for EDDM mailing?No — the 8.5X5.5 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 8.5X5.5 doesn't clear any of those thresholds — 8.5" falls short of 10.5" and 5.5" falls short of 6.125". If you need EDDM-compliant sizes, check out our EDDM mailer options including 6.5X9, 6.5X12, and 8.5X11.
How should I set up my 8.5X5.5 postcard file?Set up your file at 8.75" x 5.75" (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.
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 protects postcards during mailing.
How does the 8.5X5.5 compare to other postcard sizes?The 8.5X5.5 is one of the widest standard postcard sizes — significantly larger than a 4X6 or 5X7, giving you a wide, landscape-format canvas that commands attention. It's ideal for campaigns where you need to showcase large photos, multiple offers, or detailed messaging. For a more affordable option, see our 4X6 or 5X7 postcard pages.
