Mail a Postcard People Want to Touch
A suede postcard is the one in the mail stack that stops a hand. It is not the slick, glossy flyer everyone recognizes and ignores; it is a soft-touch card sealed under a velvety suede laminate that feels warm and matte the second it lands, the kind of mailer people set on the counter instead of in the recycling. Whether you are sending a luxury offer, a save-the-date, or a thank-you to a customer, it puts your name somewhere it gets a real look. Suede postcards start at $87.15 for 250, rated 4.8 out of 5 across 20 reviews.
These cards punch above a standard mailer. They print full color on a heavyweight 16pt stock, the suede finish does half the marketing for you, and the feel alone earns a second read.

The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 250 starts at $87.15, and here is the trick worth knowing: 500 postcards cost the same $87.15 as 250, so doubling the order halves the per-postcard price. From there the per-postcard cost keeps sliding as the count climbs to 10,000. Tap any tier below to see the live total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.
What Are Suede Postcards?
Suede postcards are postcards finished with a soft-touch suede laminate, printed full color in 19 sizes from a 2" x 3" card up to a 6" x 11", on a single 16pt suede-laminated stock. People reach for them when a glossy flyer would get ignored: luxury offers, event and wedding invitations, save-the-dates, real estate mailers, and premium thank-you cards. Because the surface feels velvety instead of slick, the card gets handled and kept instead of tossed.
Run your thumb across one and you get it right away. The suede laminate seals the full-color art under a matte, fingerprint-resistant layer, so a deep color or a clean logo looks rich rather than shiny. You print the front in full color with a blank back, or full color on both sides, and the price updates live as you go. If you want the same soft feel in a lighter format, the Soft Touch Postcards share the velvety hand at a lower starting price.
What Size Should a Suede Postcard Be?
The right size comes down to how much you need to say and how loud you want the mailer to be. A 2" x 3" card is small enough to slip into an order as an enclosure or a loyalty card. Step up through sizes like 2" x 4", 2" x 6", and 2" x 8" for a standard mailer, or go all the way to a 6" x 11" card that fills a mailbox and gets noticed. All 19 preset sizes, both ink options and the custom sizing are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. For the same soft-touch feel with a velvet laminate instead, the Velvet Postcards are the close cousin.
Here are a few easy ways to make a suede postcard pull its weight.
Let the finish carry the design
The suede laminate already reads premium, so a clean layout beats a busy one. A single bold color block, a logo, and a line of copy look expensive on this surface because the matte, velvety coating gives them a quiet presence a glossy card cannot. Keep the front simple and let people notice the feel first.
Print both sides when you have a message
Choose 4/4 and you get full color on both sides, so the front carries the design while the back holds an offer, a map, a QR code, or a short note. It turns a good-looking card into a working mailer without adding a second piece.
Design it without a designer
You do not need a design background to make a suede postcard look sharp. Start from one of thousands of free, professionally built layouts in our postcard design templates, then change the colors, copy and logo in the online editor in minutes. On a surface this premium, one bold idea is usually all it needs.
Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. Each blank 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.
Wally makes the mailer worth keeping

How Much Do Suede Postcards Cost?
Suede postcards start at $87.15 for 250, and the per-postcard price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 10,000, so a cheaper suede postcard really comes down to how big a run you order. The value move is the jump to 500, which costs the same $87.15 as 250 and halves the per-postcard price to about 17 cents. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the total and the true per-postcard cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.
What Stock and Finish Are Suede Postcards Printed On?
Every suede postcard prints on a single premium stock, a 16 point suede-laminated cover, so you do not have to weigh dozens of paper choices. The suede laminate is the finish itself: a soft-touch, velvety coating over full-color print. It feels soft and matte under a fingertip, resists fingerprints, and gives even a plain color block a quiet, expensive presence.
For ink you pick 4/0, full color on the front with a blank back, or 4/4, full color on both sides. Before it prints you can send the file straight to production or request a free online proof to check the layout first. Prefer a different premium laminate? The Silk Postcards swap the suede for a smooth silk coating on the same kind of heavyweight card.
How Do Suede Postcards Compare to the Rest of the Range?
Suede postcards are the pick when you want a mailer that feels expensive in the hand, but they are not your only soft-finish move. If you are weighing a velvet laminate, a silk coating, or a lighter soft-touch card, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up suede postcards against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.
