The print-and-mail company built to undercut the big printers

Postcards For Less prints and mails postcards and any other direct mail for businesses across the continental US. We price the work differently from the big online printers: quoted for your city, your timing and your job, with printing, mail processing and postage stated separately and nothing blended, which is how the same postcard costs up to 60% less here.

What we believe about direct mail pricing

A direct mail quote should show the three things you are paying for. Printing is a manufacturing cost that falls with quantity and rises with size and stock. Mail processing is labor and software: address hygiene, presort, barcodes, paperwork, entry. Postage is set by the Postal Service and is the same for everyone. When a company folds all three into one per-piece number, the number it chooses is whatever the market will bear, and the customer cannot tell where the money went. We quote the three separately, for your city and your job, so the comparison is always available.

What we do

We run no presses of our own: every job is printed and mailed by a partner with the presses, routes and capacity for it. So when a request comes in, we look at what is being mailed, where it is going and when it has to land, source the price from the partner that fits, and carry the job from file to proof to mail, with a dedicated representative on it throughout. The design, the list, the templates and the free preflight come from us. The industry pages describe the mail that works in each field; the city pages describe the local mail.

Who we work with

Businesses that mail in volume: real estate teams farming a neighborhood every month, home service companies covering the streets around their jobs, franchisors running one card across many locations, nonprofits mailing their year-end appeal, campaigns on a deadline, and agencies mailing their clients' work. Orders start at 1,000 pieces. Above that, the quote is written for the city, the job and the date it has to mail.

Where we mail

Everywhere in the continental United States. The 60 largest metros have their own pages because the postal geography and the mailing seasons differ from city to city, and a mailing should start from the local facts; a smaller town works exactly the same way, quoted for that town.

About us

Who is Postcards For Less?

A national direct mail company built around the postcard. We print and mail postcards and any other form of direct mail, to your list or to whole neighborhoods, for businesses across the continental US, quoted per city and per job at up to 60% less than the big online printers and full-service agencies.

Do you print in-house?

No. Every job is printed, addressed, presorted and entered at the USPS by a print and mail partner. We handle the quote, the design, the list and the proof, and a dedicated representative stays with the job from start to finish.

Can I see postcards you have printed and mailed?

Yes. Real cards from three clients, front and address side, are on the site: Sumner Dental Group on the dental page; Pure Southern Water and Think Green Lawn Service on the home services page; and all three on the direct mail postcards page.

How do I contact you?

Through the quote form on the contact page, which reaches a person directly. Quotes come back in writing, and any other question sent through the same form is answered the same way.
