Postcard Template: uses, sizes and printing tips
Postcard backs four to a page (5½ × 4¼ in): a message side with lines, a divider, four address lines and a stamp box. Print your photo or drawing on the other side, or let kids draw the front.
How to print it
- Choose the card type and card size — the page fills with as many cards as fit, with light gray cut lines between them.
- Choose lined, blank, graph or dot cards where it applies, and portrait or landscape to change how many cards fit.
- Print on card stock for sturdy cards, or on plain paper for practice.
- Cut along the gray lines with a paper trimmer — the cards share cut lines, so there is no waste between them.
Tips
- Use them as classroom pen-pal cards or a travel journal.
- A paper trimmer gives straighter edges than scissors and is much faster for a full stack.
- Print a test on plain paper first if you are using expensive card stock.
FAQ
Can I mail these postcards?
Quarter-sheet postcards fit postcard size rules in many countries when printed on card stock. Check your postal service’s size and thickness limits.
What goes on the front?
Print a photo or design on the back of the sheet first, or draw directly on the blank side.
Can I print the cards double-sided?
Yes. The cards are centered on the page, so the front and back line up when your printer flips on the long edge. Print one test sheet first.
Is it free, and do I need an account?
It is completely free with no sign-up and no download. Change the settings, print it or save it as a PDF, and bookmark the address — your settings are stored in the link.
