Thanks

8.5 x 11 card, see printingplusinc.com for everything else, this website will be changing so except for the logo do not use it as a basis for design

Hi - 8.5 x 11 is quite big for a postcard (letter size paper); are you sure that's what you want?

Some helpful information from the USPS on standard postcard size:

ou may think that your mailpiece is a "postcard," because it is a single sheet of paper. But to qualify for mailing at the First-Class Mail postcard price, it must be:

Rectangular
At least 3-1/2 inches high x 5 inches long x 0.007 inch thick
No more than 4-1/4 inches high x 6 inches long x 0.016 inches thick

If your mailpiece does not meet the dimensions above, then the Postal Service considers it a letter and letter-size postage is charged. With Standard Mail, there is a little more flexibility -- there is no separate (lower) price for postcards, so you don't have to worry about your postcard being too big -- because you're paying letter prices anyway. But make sure that your postcard is no larger than 6-1/8" x 11-1/2" x 1/4" thick. Mailpieces larger than any of those dimensions and you'll have to pay flats (large envelope) postage prices.

You're right. I used incorrect terminology. We will be mailing these standard mail as an 8.5 x 11 flat.

Thanks John!

So just to clarify - these will not be mailed in envelopes; these will be 81/2x11 flat with info on one side, post office requirements/address/etc. on the back?

Thanks,
Sarah

Correct.... although... some of the address side can be used for copy too.
