"I mailed 2,000 just-listed postcards on 16pt gloss stock and got three listing appointments within two weeks. The print quality made my photos pop - clients actually kept them on their fridge."

Sizes, Stocks, and Specs for Your Real Estate Postcards

Real Estate Postcards from 4OVER4 come in a range of sizes and paper options built for direct mail campaigns. Here are the complete specifications, including available sizes, paper stocks, and printing configurations:

Choosing the right specs matters for real estate direct mail. Oversized postcards (like 6"x9" or 6"x11") qualify for USPS marketing mail rates while standing out in a stack of standard envelopes. Thicker stocks - like 16pt card stock - feel big in the hand, which signals quality to potential sellers and buyers.

If you want something truly different from every other agent's mailer, take a look at 3D Postcards for a lenticular effect that grabs attention instantly.

Here's what to expect for production and delivery timelines:

• Same Day
• 2 Business Days
• 3 Business Days

4OVER4 maintains a 99.8% on-time delivery rate, and 82% of orders ship early. That means your Real Estate Postcards arrive when you need them - not a week after your open house.

Paper Stocks That Make Your Listings Look Their Best

The paper stock you choose for your Real Estate Postcards directly affects how prospects perceive your brand. A flimsy card gets tossed. A thick, premium card gets pinned to the fridge or tucked into a drawer for later. 4OVER4 offers 60+ paper types across the product catalog, and the options available for Real Estate Postcards are selected specifically for durability and print quality in direct mail applications.

Gloss Card Stock

Gloss stock is the go-to for property listings and just-sold announcements. The shiny surface makes colors pop and photos look sharp. If your postcard features a hero shot of a beautiful home, gloss stock gives it that magazine-quality look. It's also easy to write on the uncoated side if you're adding a handwritten note.

Matte Card Stock

Matte stock has a smooth, non-reflective surface that feels more refined. It's a strong choice for market update postcards, neighborhood reports, or personal branding pieces where you want the focus on text and design rather than glossy photography. Matte cards also resist fingerprints, so they look clean even after being handled.

Uncoated Card Stock

Uncoated stock has a natural, textured feel that works well for handwritten-style postcards or designs with a warm, approachable aesthetic. Some agents use uncoated cards for holiday greetings or community event invitations where a personal touch matters more than photo clarity.

"I switched from gloss to matte for my farming postcards and the response rate went up. The matte finish just feels more premium - like a personal note, not junk mail."

- Diana K., Broker Associate ★★★★★

4OVER4 prints Real Estate Postcards on card stocks thick enough to survive the mail sorting process without bending or tearing. That's not a small detail - a damaged postcard is worse than no postcard at all.

Finish Options That Set Your Mailers Apart

The right finish on your Real Estate Postcards turns a good design into something people actually want to hold. 4OVER4 offers finish options that add both visual appeal and physical durability to your postcards.

High Gloss UV Coating

A UV gloss coat adds a brilliant shine that makes listing photos look incredible. It also protects the surface from scuffs and moisture during mail delivery. Your postcard arrives looking as sharp as the day it was printed.

Matte Finish

Matte finish gives your Real Estate Postcards a soft, sophisticated look. It reduces glare, making text easier to read. Agents who focus on luxury listings often prefer matte because it communicates understated quality.

Soft Touch Lamination

Soft touch adds a velvety texture that feels unlike any other postcard in the mailbox. Run your finger across it and you'll understand why people don't throw these away. It's a sensory experience that creates an instant impression of premium quality.

Spot UV

Spot UV lets you apply a glossy coating to specific areas - like your logo or a property photo - while the rest of the card stays matte. The contrast is eye-catching and gives your design a high-end, custom feel.

4OVER4 has been perfecting print finishes for 25+ years, so every coating is applied with precision. No bubbles. No peeling. Just a clean, professional result.

How Agents and Brokers Put Real Estate Postcards to Work

Real Estate Postcards are one of the most versatile marketing tools in an agent's toolkit. Here are the most common - and most effective - ways agents use them to grow their business.

Just Listed and Just Sold Announcements

This is the classic play. Mail a postcard to every home within a half-mile radius of your new listing or recent sale. Include a bold property photo, the price, and your contact info. Neighbors always want to know what homes are selling for. That curiosity turns into listing appointments.

Geographic Farming

Consistent monthly mailings to a specific neighborhood build name recognition over time. Market updates, home value estimates, and local event info keep you visible. After 6-12 months of regular Real Estate Postcards, you become "the agent" in that area.

Open House Invitations

A postcard invitation to an open house feels more personal than a Facebook ad. Include the date, time, address, and a compelling photo. Oversized postcards work especially well here because they're hard to miss in the mail.

Seasonal and Holiday Greetings

Thanksgiving recipes, holiday wishes, or spring home maintenance tips - these "non-salesy" postcards keep your name in front of past clients and prospects without feeling pushy. It's relationship marketing that actually works.

Expired Listing Prospecting

Target homeowners whose listings expired with a postcard that offers a fresh approach. A well-designed card with your recent sales stats and a clear call to action can convert frustrated sellers into new clients.

What Real Estate Postcards Cost at 4OVER4

Real Estate Postcards are priced per unit, and the cost drops as your quantity goes up. That's good news for agents running monthly farming campaigns - the more you mail, the less each postcard costs. Here's the current pricing breakdown:

The more you order, the lower your price per unit.

Every order includes a free digital proof, precision cutting, and quality inspection at no extra charge. No hidden setup fees. No surprise art charges. 4OVER4 keeps pricing transparent so you can budget your direct mail campaigns with confidence.

Ordering in bulk for quarterly mailings? You'll hit the best per-piece pricing and save yourself repeat setup time. Real Estate Postcards are one of the highest-ROI marketing investments an agent can make - especially when the cost per piece is this low.

When Your Real Estate Postcards Will Arrive

Timing matters in real estate. You can't mail a just-listed postcard two weeks after the sign goes up. 4OVER4 offers multiple turnaround options so your Real Estate Postcards arrive when you need them.

Standard turnaround gets your order printed and shipped within a few business days. Need them faster? Rush and same-day options are available for time-sensitive campaigns like open house invitations or new listing announcements.

4OVER4 maintains a 99.8% on-time delivery rate, and 82% of orders actually ship ahead of schedule. That's not a marketing claim - it's an operational standard backed by 25+ years of printing experience.

Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on your location and selected speed. You'll see the exact delivery estimate before you pay, so there are no surprises. For large farming campaigns, plan your order a week ahead of your mail date to take advantage of standard shipping rates.

Setting Up Your Postcard Files for Print

Getting your Real Estate Postcards file-ready is straightforward. Follow these guidelines to avoid delays:

• Resolution: 300 DPI minimum for all images and graphics. Property photos pulled from MLS at 72 DPI will look blurry in print.
• Color mode: CMYK color space. RGB files will be converted, which can shift your brand colors.
• Bleed: Extend your design 0.125" beyond the trim line on all sides. This prevents white edges after cutting.
• Safe zone: Keep all important text and logos at least 0.125" inside the trim line.
• File formats: PDF (preferred), AI, PSD, or EPS.

4OVER4 provides free downloadable templates for every postcard size. Use them to set up your bleeds and safe zones correctly the first time.
