Christmas Postcards

These cards do real work for the season. They cost pennies each at volume, they mail without an envelope, and full-color printing on 22 stocks means the snow, the lights and your logo all read the way you designed them. Want to see how Christmas postcards sit next to the rest of the range? Browse every option on postcards printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.

The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 50 starts at $16.48, and the per-postcard cost keeps sliding as the count goes up, so a full mailing list costs far less per card than a quick test batch. Tap any tier below to see the live set total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.

What Are Christmas Postcards?

Christmas postcards are full-color holiday cards printed on postcard stock, sized to mail or hand out, in 14 sizes from a 2.5" x 2.5" square up to a 6" x 11" panel, on any of 22 stocks. Businesses reach for them to send year-end greetings, announce holiday hours and sales, and mail seasonal promotions without the cost of an envelope. Because a postcard needs no envelope to open, the greeting is seen the second it is picked up. If you want a classic mailer format, the Standard Postcards cover that, and the Christmas version starts from the same holiday-ready choices.

What Size Should a Christmas Postcard Be?

The right size comes down to how much you need to say. A 2.5" x 2.5" square is perfect for a short greeting and a logo. A 3" x 4" or 4" x 4" gives a photo card room to breathe. Step up toward the 6" x 11" panel when you want an oversized promotion that dominates the mailbox. There are 14 set sizes in all, plus a custom size made to order up to 6" x 11", and you can round the corners at a 3/8" or 1/8" radius for a softer look. All sizes, both finishes and the full stock list are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.

Here are a few easy ways to make a Christmas postcard pull its weight.

Pick a stock that feels like the season

A heavier coated stock gives a holiday card real presence in the hand. Uncoated and cream stocks take a handwritten note, linen adds a woven texture, and the metallic pearl stocks in Ice, Champagne, Silver and Gold catch light like an ornament. The default 14pt Gloss Cover keeps it vivid and affordable, and a High-Gloss UV Coating makes lights and photos snap. Prefer a foil-bright shine across the whole card? The Metallic Foil Postcards take that look further.

Design it without a designer

You do not need a design background to make a Christmas postcard look sharp. Start from a free, professionally built layout in our postcard design templates, then change the colors, copy and photo in the online editor in minutes. The seasonal art does most of the work, so one strong idea fills the card.

Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. Each blank Christmas postcard template is built at the real trim size with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the cut. Grab the size that matches your order below, drop your art in, and upload.

How Much Do Christmas Postcards Cost?

Christmas postcards start at $16.48 per set of 50, about 33 cents a card, and the per-postcard price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 100,000. A set of 800 runs $73.60, or about 9 cents a card; 7,000 run $176.61, near 2.5 cents each; and 25,000 come in at $491.20. There are 40 quantity tiers in all, and a real competitor quote gets beaten by an extra 10% (the 110% price-match guarantee) with the 4OVER4 Price Match. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-postcard cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.

Can You Print a Name or Address on Each Card?

Yes. Turn on variable data and you can drop a unique name, address or one-off code onto every postcard in the run, so each one ships personalized instead of identical. That turns a holiday mailer into a card addressed to each client, a promotion with a different coupon code per recipient, or a save-the-date that greets people by name. Pair it with full color on both sides and a finish that fits, and one design mails a whole list without ever feeling mass-produced.

How Do Christmas Postcards Compare to the Rest of the Range?

Christmas postcards are the seasonal pick, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a standard mailer, a foil-bright card or a small square, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up Christmas postcards against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

How Fast Can You Get Christmas Postcards?

Christmas postcards print on a 3 business day standard turnaround, and when the calendar tightens before the holidays you can move that to 2-day, Next-Day or even Same-Day production out of our New York City plant. Each step buys back time for a set percentage on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Same Day orders need to be approved by noon EST to ship that day, and 99.8% of 4OVER4 orders arrive on time with 82% shipping early. Want to check your file first? Add a free online proof or a next-day hardcopy proof before the run.
