Free Direct Mail Postcard Templates
If you’re ready to get started with a postcard mailing project, you’re in the right place. Before you start designing, it’s essential that you have a suitable postcard template to work with, to ensure you comply with the requirements of the United States Post Office.
Below are standard, jumbo, and oversized postcard templates for addressed postcards. The templates include bleeds, safe zones, permit information, and address blocks.
Direct Mail Postcard Design Tip: Don’t worry about adding the permit information to your design if we are addressing and mailing your postcard. At no extra charge, you can use our permit, and we will add it for you; this is just another way we make sure your direct mail postcard is mail-ready. Just leave us a .75” tall x .75” wide box in the upper right-hand corner and a 2" tall x 4" tall white box in the lower left-hand corner for us to address your postcard.

Which Size Should I Choose?
Different postcard sizes have their unique benefits. Here are just a few common use-cases for some of our most popular sizes.
- Our 4x6 postcard template is perfect for anyone looking to create a design for the standard postcard size. When you think of a typical postcard, 4x6 is likely the size you imagine. This smaller size makes it an economical choice, and it can be a good solution for anyone with a concise message to share.
- Our 6x9 postcard template is equivalent to half the size of a sheet of paper. 6.25” x 9” is also the smallest size for Every Door Direct Mail® postcards, so if you want your mailing to compete in terms of size, this could be a great choice for you.
- Our 6x11 postcard template is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a jumbo option. In fact, oversized postcard templates include any that are over 6.25x9, so 6x11 is bound to stand out!
Whether you’re designing a concise, budget-friendly 4x6 postcard or need an oversized postcard template to make a big statement, we’re here to help. If you’d like to discuss the best option for your campaign, give our team a call.
