Specifications for address side of a jumbo postcard 8.5 x 5.5

When Designing a jumbo sized postcard you must follow some guidelines. You have 2 choices in designing your card, although the design options are limitless. The shaded areas are reserved for addressing purposes, the white areas can be used as desired. 

Option A - gives you more room for text or any other graphics you might want to include in your postcard. This option is a space maximizer, although you must design your postcard with very strict  parameters. See diagrams below for specs.

Option B - also gives you more space than a traditional postcard. This option can be utilized as a design specific space. Which means that your designer can utilize this space as best as his or her skill will allow. 



Option C - also gives you more space than a traditional postcard. This option can be utilized as a design specific space. Which means that your designer can utilize this space as best as his or her skill will allow. 




Postcards are less expensive to print and mail compared to letters and in certain marketing campaigns are the most effective medium to use. A well designed and strong postcard will always be noticed since it's an open piece of mail.
