Political Postcards

These cards do a lot of work for the money. They print for pennies each at scale, they carry a full slate or a single sharp message, and you can personalize every card to the voter who receives it. Want to see how political 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 mailing. A set of 50 starts at $16.48, and the per-postcard cost keeps sliding as the count climbs, so a district-wide blast costs far less per card than a small 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 Political Postcards?

Political postcards are full-color direct-mail cards that campaigns, candidates, PACs, and committees send to reach voters. At 4OVER4 they print in 14 sizes, from a 2.5" x 2.5" card up to a 6" x 11" mailer, on any of 22 stocks. Campaigns use them to introduce a candidate, push a ballot measure, remind voters of a polling place, ask for a donation, or drive turnout. Because the size is yours to pick, a quick reminder can run small and cheap while a full slate card runs large. If you want the everyday mailing formats, the Standard Postcards cover those, and political postcards sit right beside them for campaign work.

What Size Should a Political Postcard Be?

The right size comes down to how much you need to say and how much postage you want to spend. A compact 3" x 4" card keeps a big get-out-the-vote blast affordable, while a 6" x 11" mailer gives you room for a candidate bio, a full slate, or a side-by-side on a ballot measure. There are 14 set sizes in all, and if none is exactly right you can set a custom size up to 6" x 11" in the configurator. All the sizes, both finishes and the full stock list are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator shows them, so you know what you can change before you change it. For a premium foil-accented look, the Metallic Foil Postcards take the same formats up a tier.

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

Pick a stock that reads official

A heavier stock gives an endorsement or fundraising card real presence in the hand. Everyday 14pt and 16pt gloss keeps a large mailing cheap, while 18pt, 24pt, and 26pt stocks feel substantial. Linen adds a textured, official weight, metallic pearl catches the light, and there are 30% and 100% recycled stocks for a campaign that runs on a green message. A High Gloss UV Coating makes a candidate photo snap. For a smaller keepsake format, the Mini Cards run the same quality in a pocket square.

Personalize every card to the voter

Turn on variable data and each postcard can carry a different voter name, address, precinct, or polling place while the design stays fixed. A card that names the right polling location reads as local and real, not mass-produced. It is the difference between a flyer and a message meant for one person.

Design it without a designer

You do not need a design background to make a political postcard look sharp. Start from a professionally built layout in our postcard design templates, then change the colors, copy, and photo in the online editor in minutes. One clear message and a strong photo fill the card.

Each blank political 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 Political Postcards Cost?

Political postcards start at $16.48 per set of 50, and the per-postcard price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 100,000. A set of 800 runs $73.60, about 9 cents each, and 7,000 land at $176.61, roughly 2.5 cents each. Push to a district-wide 100,000 and the cost drops under 2 cents per card. 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 Different Name on Each Postcard?

Yes. Turn on variable data and you can drop a unique voter name, address, precinct, or one-off donation code onto every single card in the run, so each one ships personalized instead of identical. That turns a generic mailer into a card addressed to a real voter, with their own polling place or a QR link that goes straight to a donation page. Upload a spreadsheet with one row per recipient and the design stays fixed while the personalized fields change card to card. Free online proofs let you confirm the layout before the full run prints, so a whole mailing goes out right the first time.

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

Political postcards are the value pick when you need to reach a lot of voters for a little money, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a standard postcard, a foil-accented card, or a pocket mini, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up political postcards against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

How Fast Can You Get Political Postcards Printed?

Political postcards print on a 3 business day standard turnaround, and when a deadline moves up you can shift to 2-day, Next-Day, or even Same-Day production. Same-day orders need approval by the daily cutoff to ship that afternoon from our NYC plant, so a last-minute turnout push or a rapid-response mailer still lands on time. Across all orders, 99.8% arrive on time and 82% ship early, so you are not gambling on the date before an election. See exactly what each faster speed adds when you build your order.
