Every Door Direct Mail® Postcards

EDDM® postcards are for carrier-route mailings when you want to cover every delivery point on selected routes without buying a named mailing list. Confirm USPS size and facing requirements before artwork is final.

EDDM® Design Guidelines

🎯

To ensure your EDDM® postcards meet USPS requirements and achieve maximum impact, follow these essential design guidelines:

EDDM® Sizes: Only specific sizes are eligible. Our form automatically filters for these.
Resolution: 300 DPI minimum for crisp printing.
Bleed Area: 0.125" (3mm) on all sides for edge-to-edge designs.
Safe Zone: Keep all critical text and images 0.25" from the trim edge.
Color Mode: CMYK for accurate color reproduction.
File Format: PDF (preferred), AI, or high-res PNG/JPEG.
Mailing Indicia: Leave space for the EDDM® indicia if you plan to apply it yourself.

When EDDM® is a good fit

📈

Use EDDM® when your offer is local, your routes are known, and every door on those routes is an acceptable audience.

Route coverage: Deliver to selected carrier routes instead of individual named addresses.
Postage structure: Postage follows USPS EDDM® rules and eligible sizes, not a generic postcard rate assumption.
No purchased list required: You still need route selection and compliant addressing/indicia layout.
Readable mail piece: Keep offer, location, and next step clear at mailbox distance.
Local promotions: Useful for openings, service areas, restaurants, real estate, and community events.

Frequently Asked Questions about EDDM®

EDDM® is a service from the USPS that allows businesses to send mail to every address on a selected postal route without needing a mailing list. It's a cost-effective way to reach local customers.

Benefits include lower postage rates, no need for a mailing list, targeted local reach, and high visibility due to larger postcard sizes. It simplifies direct mail campaigns for local businesses.

EDDM® eligible sizes include 4" × 11", 4.25" × 11", 4.5" × 11", 6" × 11", 6.5" × 8", 6.5" × 9", 6.5" × 12", 8" × 10", 8.5" × 11", 9" × 11", and 9" × 12". Our form automatically displays only these sizes.

EDDM® mail pieces must meet specific size and thickness requirements. Minimum size is 6.125" x 11" OR 6.25" x 9", maximum is 12" x 15". Thickness must be between 0.007" and 0.75", and weight less than 3.3 oz. All EDDM® sizes offered by 55Prints comply with these rules.

An EDDM® indicia is a special marking required by the USPS on your mail piece, indicating it's part of an Every Door Direct Mail® campaign. It replaces traditional postage. You'll need to ensure your design leaves space for this if you're applying it yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a mailer eligible for EDDM?

Eligibility depends on current postal dimensions, thickness, shape, addressing, indicia, and preparation rules. A postcard that prints successfully is not automatically eligible for an EDDM mailing. Confirm the current postal specification and route plan before designing or ordering the printed pieces.

Does an EDDM print price include postage and mailing?

Do not assume it does. Printing, bundling, paperwork, route preparation, delivery to the postal facility, and postage can be separate services. Read the configured order and written scope carefully so you know which party handles each step and which charges remain outside the print total.

How should I choose EDDM routes and quantity?

Use current postal route data and count the residential or business deliveries that match the campaign. Add only the handling overage required by the chosen process. Recheck counts before printing because route totals can change, and unused dated mailers may not provide value later.

How should EDDM artwork be prepared?

Build to an eligible finished size using the exact template. Reserve the required mailing and indicia areas, add bleed, and keep important content inside the safe area. Use readable type and one clear offer. Verify dates, phone numbers, web links, restrictions, and expiration terms before approval.

How should I schedule an EDDM campaign?

Plan artwork, proof review, production, bundling or preparation, delivery to the postal facility, and postal delivery as separate stages. A printing turnaround is not an in-home date. Confirm responsibilities and current estimates before promoting a fixed event or limited offer on the mailer.
