Frequently Asked Questions
What is EDDM and how does it work?
EDDM stands for Every Door Direct Mail — a USPS program that lets you mail to every address on specific mail carrier routes without needing a mailing list. It's ideal for restaurants, home services, real estate agents, and any business targeting a specific neighborhood in Houston or Cypress. 53Printers files the USPS paperwork, bundles by route, and drops your cards at the post office — you just pay postage (~$0.25/piece) at cost.
What postcard size is best for EDDM campaigns?
The 6×11 inch size is specifically designed for EDDM compliance and qualifies for USPS EDDM rates. It's also large enough to stand out in a mail stack and include a map, offer, and contact information all on one card.
What sizes and finishes do you offer?
53Printers prints postcards in four sizes — 4×6, 5×7, 6×9, and 6×11 (EDDM) — each available in UV gloss or matte coating. UV gloss is vivid and shiny and makes photos pop; matte is non-reflective, upscale, and easy to write on by hand. All postcards print full-color on both sides on heavy 14pt card stock.
What's the difference between UV gloss and matte postcards?
UV gloss has a high-shine coating that makes colors and photos vivid — the go-to for bold promotional cards. Matte is a smooth non-reflective finish with a premium feel that's easy to read under light and easy to write on, so it's preferred for personal notes, appointment reminders, and upscale invitations.
How long does postcard printing take?
53Printers prints standard postcard orders in 3–5 business days after proof approval, with rush service available in 1–2 business days. Orders can be picked up free at our Cypress, TX shop or shipped anywhere in the Houston metro and nationwide via USPS, UPS, or FedEx. EDDM mailings add USPS processing time once dropped.
How should I set up my postcard file for printing?
Submit your postcard as a print-ready PDF at 300 DPI in CMYK color with a 0.125-inch bleed on all sides. 53Printers accepts PDF, AI, PSD, PNG, and JPG files. For EDDM 6×11 cards, leave the USPS indicia and address block area clear — we'll place the required mailing elements for you.
