Custom Postcards & Flyers — Built for Results
Postcards and flyers remain one of the most effective and affordable ways to reach new customers.

Whether you're promoting a grand opening, running a seasonal sale, announcing a new location, or keeping your brand top of mind in a local market, print delivers results that digital alone can't match.
TheFlyerLab prints full-color postcards and flyers on 12pt and 16pt C2S cardstock with fast turnaround and nationwide shipping via UPS or FedEx. Most orders ship in 1–2 business days — with next business day options available on select paper stocks and quantities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between 12pt and 16pt cardstock?
Both are C2S (coated two sides) cardstock — the industry standard for professional postcard printing. 12pt is a proven, widely-used stock that delivers great results and is well-suited for high-volume campaigns. 16pt is noticeably heavier with a more substantial feel in hand — ideal when you want your piece to stand out and make a lasting impression.
What is UV Front Only finish?
UV Front Only means the front of your postcard gets a high-gloss UV coating while the back remains uncoated. The uncoated back is writable — useful for appointment cards, loyalty cards, or direct mail pieces where you want to add a handwritten note.
Can I use postcards for EDDM mailing?
Standard postcard sizes like 4X6 and 5X7 do not qualify for USPS EDDM Retail rates — EDDM requires your piece to be greater than 10.5" long OR greater than 6.125" high OR greater than 0.25" thick. For EDDM campaigns, see our EDDM printing page for compliant sizes including 6.5X8, 6.5X9, 6.5X12, and 8.5X11.
What file format should I submit?
Print-ready PDF is preferred. JPG and PNG at 300 DPI are also accepted. Files should include 0.125" bleed on all sides with colors in CMYK mode. Visit the file setup and artwork guidelines page for full specs and downloadable templates.
Do you print on both sides?
Yes — 4/4 (full color front and back) is available on all sizes. 4/0 (front only) is also available if you only need printing on one side. Choose your color option when configuring your order above.
How fast will my order ship?
Most postcard and flyer orders ship in 1–2 business days. Next business day printing is available on select paper stocks and quantities. Shipping is via UPS or FedEx — a physical address is required, as UPS and FedEx do not deliver to PO Boxes.
Is there a minimum order quantity?
TheFlyerLab offers low minimum order quantities so you can test a campaign without committing to a massive print run. Exact minimums are shown in the pricing calculator above — they vary by size and stock.
