Avery Postcards - Are They Worth It?

Have you ever used Avery postcards for printing your postcards?

I have - and they worked great. But keep in mind that you need a printer that can print postcards!

That's common sense right?

The reason being that postcards tend to use much thicker card than your usual printing fodder!

Avery cards are pretty much the way to go if you are serious about printing postcards from your colour Inkjet or Laser printer.

There's other brands out there too of course, but Avery seems to have obliterated everyone else and stolen victory in the marketplace.

But are Avery postcards really that good?

My Horrible Mistake With Avery Postcards

Before I tell you all about the horrible mistake I made with my Avery cards, let me explain just why these postcard packs take the cake.

They offer an eye-catching, economical way to spread the word
Their 4 x 6 inch postcards are designed to meet U.S. postal regulations
They feed smoothly through all inkjet or Laser printers
They're strong - sturdy, heavyweight card stock with matte coatings
You have complete control over the production process!

All these get a nice big happy tick from me and pass with flying colours.

Because one thing you don't want - is to make your own postcards that don't get past customs - I mean, U.S postal regulations.

And - you can use Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator (or your favorite design program) to create postcards from scratch. Just add your creativity and stir. Alternatively begin with the free postcard templates from Avery.com.

What happened to me is outright terrible. I became addicted to buying postcard packs whenever I saw them. It was like some weird addiction. As soon as I saw those big, strong, glossy postcard packs that was it. Game over.

Just had to have them. Had my ideas all over them before they were even through the checkout.

All I can say is - Don't let that happen to you!

How Economical Are They Really?

Well, you can empty your wallet (like I did) on Avery postcard packs that contain 80, 100, or 200 4 x 6-inch postcards without a worry in the world.

It's really more the inkjet ink that you need to think about. After all, 200 full colour postcards can eat through a lot of ink before you even know what's happened!

Of course, the solution to that is...

Plan your postcard designs carefully!
