5.0 (9 Google reviews)Smooth matte finish postcards. 16PT stock. Perfect for direct mail and promotions.
Who should order matte postcards instead of the UV High Gloss version?
Choose matte if you want a low-sheen, non-reflective surface across the whole 16PT card. It suits text-heavy designs, muted color palettes and cards read under bright light, where glare would get in the way. The UV High Gloss version is the better pick when you want a shiny, reflective front.
Common questions
How does a matte postcard look and feel in hand?
It is printed on 16PT card stock, a thick, stiff card, with a matte finish that gives a flat, low-sheen surface instead of a reflective shine. Colors read softer and there is little glare, so small type and fine details stay easy to read from different angles.
Which projects fit the matte version better than UV gloss?
Matte fits appointment reminders, event details, informational mailers and designs with subdued or earthy colors. If your design relies on bright photos that you want to look shiny, compare it with the UV High Gloss version, which offers gloss on the front only (UV PG1 Only) or on both sides (UV).
Which sizes and side options can I set up for matte postcards?
You can choose single-sided or double-sided printing in nine sizes: 4.25×2.75, 4.25×5.5, 4×6, 5×7, 8.5×5.5, 4×9, 6×9, 6×11 and 8.5×11. Matte Finish is the only coating on this version, so there is no separate coating choice to make when you order.
What is the smallest matte postcard order I can place?
Matte postcards start at 50 pieces and go up to 100,000. Smaller runs work for trying out a design or a short local handout, while runs of 1,000 or more are where pricing becomes most competitive, which suits larger mailings or ongoing promotions.
