DCL Media & Print

Marketing a home for a new client? Working on a Direct Mail campaign? Looking to announce a new product or event? Or perhaps just touting a vacation destination. Then you need to consider using a Postcard. Postcards have been in use for decades and provide a great opportunity to present both a graphic illustration as well as a well written description of your product or event. DCL Media & Print offers 15 different sized postcards, printed on one or both sides, one of which should satisfy your requirements.

Dimensions are reversible. A 4” x 6” postcard is 4” wide by 6” tall, portrait format. A 6” x 4” postcard is 6” wide by 4” tall, landscape format. Artwork Size with Bleeds should be .25” greater on both dimensions (L & W). For example, the artwork for a 4” x 6” postcard should be 4.25” x 6.25”.

100 lb. Matte Card Stock – slightly thinner than 14 point, with a matte rather than gloss finish
110 lb. Matte Card Stock – a premium choice with a matte finish
