Direct Mail Bi-Fold Postcards

Bi-fold postcards can be printed on several paper weights including lightweight 65# satin, 80# uncoated or gloss text, 100–111# cover, and 130# gloss or silk cardstock. Heavier cardstocks like 100# and 130# are recommended for direct mail as they withstand postal handling better and convey a premium feel to recipients.

Standard size options include 8.5x11 and 11x17 sheets, which when folded in half produce finished panels of approximately 5.5x8.5 and 8.5x11 respectively. The larger 11x17 bi-fold is ideal when you need more visual real estate for detailed offers, product imagery, event schedules, or property listings.

Yes. UV coating is available with three options: no coating, front side only, or both sides. A UV coat on the exterior panels enhances color vibrancy, adds a protective layer against scuffing during postal transit, and gives your mailer a polished, professional appearance that stands out in the mailbox.

The minimum order quantity is 26 units, making bi-fold postcards accessible for small targeted mailings, local outreach, or test campaigns. Maximum quantities go up to 10,000 per order, with volume pricing available. Custom quantities within that range can be specified when placing your order.

Three production turnaround options are available: Same Day Rush for an additional $45, Next Day production for an additional $35, or standard 2–3 business day turnaround at base pricing. Completed orders can be picked up directly at the Chantilly location or shipped to your address, with shipping costs calculated based on destination.
