Print a Postcard People Want to Touch
Most postcards are printed to be read. This one is printed to be felt: every card gets a Soft Touch Finish, a velvety matte layer that reads closer to suede than paper the second it lands in a hand. That tactile moment is the whole point, because a card that feels expensive gets kept and passed around instead of tossed with the junk mail. A set of 50 starts at $29.44, rated 4.9 out of 5 across 103 reviews.
These cards punch above a plain postcard because feel does half the selling. The finish signals quality before anyone reads a word, and the thick uncoated stock backs it up with real heft.

The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 50 starts at $29.44, and the per-card cost keeps sliding as the count climbs toward 5,000, so a full mailing campaign costs far less per card than a quick test batch.

What Are Soft Touch Postcards?
Soft touch postcards are thick uncoated cards printed full color and finished with a velvety matte Soft Touch coating, offered in 14 sizes from a 2.5" x 2.5" square up to a 6" x 11" jumbo, on Soft Touch Uncoated stock from 32pt to 80pt. People reach for them when a plain card would feel cheap: premium direct-mail pieces, luxury thank-you inserts, product announcements, save-the-dates, and high-end handouts. Because the surface feels considered, the card gets handled and kept. If you want a straightforward, glossy mailer instead, the Standard Postcards cover that, and the soft touch sits right beside it as the version that feels premium in the hand.
What Size Should a Soft Touch Postcard Be?
The right size comes down to the job. The classic direct-mail shapes are all here: a 4" x 6" for a quick promo, a 5" x 7" for an announcement with room to breathe, and a 6" x 9" or 6" x 11" when you want a jumbo card that fills the mailbox and demands a look. Prefer a square? Pick from 2.5" x 2.5", 3" x 3", 4" x 4", 5" x 5" or 6" x 6" for a modern shape that stands out on a table. Smaller cuts like 3" x 4" and 4.25" x 5.5" work as handouts and inserts. All 14 sizes, the four stock weights and the ink coverage options 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 soft touch postcard pull its weight.
Pick the stock weight that fits the feel
The standard 32pt Soft Touch Uncoated is already about twice the thickness of a typical postcard, sturdy enough to feel substantial in a mailbox. Step up to 48pt or 64pt for more heft, or reach for the 80pt when you want a card that feels almost like a chip in the hand. The velvety matte finish is the same across all four weights, so the choice is purely about how much presence you want.
Design it without a designer
You do not need a design background to make a soft touch postcard look sharp. Start from a professionally built layout in our soft touch postcard design templates, then change the colors, copy and logo in the online editor in minutes. The matte finish makes deep, saturated colors read especially rich, so one bold idea carries the card.
Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. The blank soft touch 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 Soft Touch Postcards Cost?
Soft touch postcards start at $29.44 per set of 50, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 5,000, so a cheaper card really comes down to how big a run you order. A set of 100 runs $48.88, 200 runs $78.70, and 500 runs $164.59. Most people land around a set of 200 for a first print, which is also our best-rated quantity. 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-card cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.
Can You Print Full Color on Both Sides?
Yes. You choose your ink coverage in the configurator. Print 4/0 for full color on the front with a blank back, 4/1 for full color front with black type on the back, or 4/4 for full color on both sides. For a mailer, printing both sides lets one face carry the offer and the other carry the details, the address block, or a map. Pair full color both sides with a heavier stock and the velvety finish, and a postcard starts doing the work of a small brochure.
How Do Soft Touch Postcards Compare to the Rest of the Range?
Soft touch is the value pick among the tactile-finish postcards, but it is not your only move. If you are weighing a different premium feel, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up soft touch postcards against their closest siblings, Velvet Postcards, Silk Postcards and Suede Postcards, so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.
