- Most popular
From $386.74 for 1,000$0.39 each + sales tax (8.25%)
Clears the USPS 6.125-inch height threshold for flats with a familiar postcard feel, and it is one of the least expensive qualifying sizes to print. Many first campaigns start here.
Configure & price - Standard EDDM
From $386.73 for 1,000$0.39 each + sales tax (8.25%)
Close to a classic postcard in the hand, but the 6.25-inch height clears the USPS 6.125-inch threshold for flats, so it mails at the EDDM rate.
Configure & price - Compact
From $386.74 for 1,000$0.39 each + sales tax (8.25%)
The most compact size we mail: enough room for one offer, a map and a phone number without crowding the layout.
Configure & price - Compact+
From $386.74 for 1,000$0.39 each + sales tax (8.25%)
A squarer shape that reads differently from the letter-width mail around it, good for bold, single-message creative.
Configure & price - Slim jumbo
From $349.03 for 1,000$0.35 each + sales tax (8.25%)
A slim panoramic that qualifies as a flat by its 12-inch length. It reads like a bookmark and works well for menus and price lists.
Configure & price - Jumbo
From $449.56 for 1,000$0.45 each + sales tax (8.25%)
Panoramic width with real headline room, roughly twice the face of a standard postcard.
Configure & price - Jumbo XL
From $449.56 for 1,000$0.45 each + sales tax (8.25%)
The largest postcard footprint short of a letter sheet, for maximum image area.

Configure & price - Half-page
From $399.29 for 1,000$0.40 each + sales tax (8.25%)
At 8 inches on its short side it clears the 6.125-inch height rule; the 10-inch length is under 10.5, so height is the qualifying dimension.
Configure & price - Large flyer
From $405.58 for 1,000$0.41 each + sales tax (8.25%)
It clears two rules at once: 11 inches long (over 10.5) and 9 inches high (over 6.125).
Configure & price - Slim panel
From $248.52 for 1,000$0.25 each + sales tax (8.25%)
Its 11-inch length clears the 10.5-inch rule, even though the 4.25-inch height does not, so length is the qualifying dimension.
Configure & price - Tall jumbo
From $393.01 for 1,000$0.39 each + sales tax (8.25%)
It clears two rules at once: 11 inches long (over 10.5) and 6.25 inches high (over 6.125).

Configure & price - Large
From $496.39 for 1,000$0.50 each + sales tax (8.25%)
A notch larger than letter size, so it tends to sit on top of the stack in the mailbox.

From $788.32 for 1,000$0.79 each + sales tax (8.25%)
Legal length: the extra column suits coupon strips and full service menus.

Explore by industryWant us to handle the mailing?
Full Service: we print and mail it for you
Pick your routes on the map; we print, bundle by carrier route, prepare the USPS paperwork and deliver the mailing to USPS. Postage is included.
Go to Full ServiceAbout EDDM Print Only
Print Only is Every Door Direct Mail printing without the mailing service. The pieces arrive printed to the USPS EDDM size rules with the indicia area in place, and you complete the Retail paperwork and the drop-off yourself. It costs less than Full Service because there is no mailing service fee and you pay postage straight to USPS, and it suits mailers who know the routine or mail close to home.
EDDM Print Only questions
What is the difference between Print Only and Full Service?
With Print Only we print your pieces and ship them to you, and you take them to the Post Office and pay postage. With Full Service we also bundle by route, file the paperwork and deliver the mailing to USPS, with postage included.
Do I need a postage permit?
Not for EDDM Retail. You pay postage at the counter of the Post Office that serves your routes when you drop the mailing off.
Which Post Office do I take the mailing to?
The one that serves the carrier routes you picked. The USPS EDDM tool shows the facility for each route; a different Post Office can turn the mailing away.
What sizes qualify for EDDM?
EDDM only accepts flats. USPS counts a piece as a flat when it is longer than 10.5 inches, taller than 6.125 inches or thicker than 0.25 inch, and no bigger than 15 × 12 inches. Every size we sell qualifies, and each size page explains which rule it clears.
Are there limits on how much I can mail?
EDDM Retail allows 200 to 5,000 pieces per ZIP code per day. Bigger campaigns split across days or ZIP codes, or move to Full Service.
Do the pieces come bundled?
Only if you choose bundling in 50s or 100s when you order. Without it the pieces ship unbundled and you count and band them before the drop.
