Cheap Postcards - For A Lot Less
Cheap postcards don't necessarily need to mean cheap-looking postcards!
Indeed, if you want a really creative project to work on, buy big pieces of bristol board from your local stationery shop, or use the cardboard from cereal boxes and cut them into postcard size.
Blank postcards are usually a good price for the number you get and it's easy to print your own design onto them.
You might also snap up relatively inexpensive postcards at most convenience stores too.
Often you may be able to pick up two, three or more for only a dollar.
However, all this pales in comparison to the value and quality you can get when you buy postcards online from select postcard printing companies!
Chasing Cheap Postcards
Buying in bulk always saves money, and when it comes to postcards, it's no different.
Purchasing 25,000 postcards is obviously going to cost a lot more than buying 250 postcards, but when you cunch the numbers, the cost per unit is going to be significantly lower the more postcards you order.
Check out this example from PrintPelican.com: where 200 cards yields a $0.28 cost per unit, but ordering 20,000 will only cost you only $0.03 per postcard. (Of course, you'll need to have a large-ish project in mind to use up those 20,000 postcards!)
You can buy bulk postcards at a number of great sites. Printplace.com is always good bet with lots of options to customize your order with. Here you can purchase up to a whopping 500,000 postcards in one go.
MyBravoPrint.com and a simple search for 'The Online Printer' who specialize in bulk postcards, have very modest prices too.
Getting Your Cheap Postcard Printing Started
When it comes to the actual ordering process, it is a matter of simply following the steps. First and foremost, you will almost always be asked:
- The quantity and size that you would like.
- Certain details like the finishes and perforating your postcards
- Plus how you would prefer to pay!
Who wants low cost cards?
After either selecting and filling out a template or uploading your own artwork, you choose the shipping method and it's time to check out.
Some sites require that you sign up first, but some may go right to the order form. At that point you should double check everything and specify the address to which the order will ship to.
You can also upload a mailing list (some postcard companies will mail them out for you at an extra fee), and fill in your payment information.
Once your order is finished, you will receive an e-receipt or mail proof, and now the hardest part is the waiting - it's as simple as that!
Buying several thousand postcards can be an expensive ordeal, but yet postcards are supposed to be a thrifty option which is why you chose to use postcards in the first place!
Having said that, feel free to explore my cheap postcard printing page for even more low cost postcard printing options.
There's also CheapPostcards.net, Uprinting.com, and the above mentioned PrintPelican.com (which has a very attractive 40% off all prints offer) for all your budget postcard printing needs.
Though Postcards.com leads the bunch with their rock-bottom prices - ten thousand postcards have never looked cheaper!
