What are the post office’s requirements for mailing postcards?

Posted on: March 4, 2010



In order to qualify for postcard rate postage (currently $0.28), the United States Postal Service requires small postcards (4 1/4″ x 6″ or less) to be made from paper that has a 7pt thickness or greater. All of the Burris Four-of-a-Kind Postcards™ meet this requirement.

Large postcards (greater than 4 1/4″ x 6″) are required to be made from paper that has a 9pt thickness or greater. All of the Burris Print On Demand Jumbo Postcards™ meet this requirement. The Jumbo Postcards must be mailed at first-class postage (currently $0.44).

New Affiliate Relationship with Endicia®, Providing a New Way to Lower the Cost of Mailing

Posted on: May 19, 2009



Burris Computer Forms® announces its affiliate relationship with Endicia®, providing a new way to lower the cost of mailing.

By using Burris Four-of-a-Kind Postcardsâ„¢ and Endicia’s Internet Postage, businesses, churches, associations and other non-profits can mail messages and save time, labor, postage, and materials.

Using postcards lowers the cost of postage from 44¢ to 27¢. Buying postage online from Endicia saves trips to the post office. Printing the blank postcards internally saves users pre-printing and material costs. Printing the postcards in-house – printing both the content and postage, four-up, and in the same print run- streamlines the production process and saves time and labor. The micro-perfed postcards can be quickly separated into single postcards ready for mailing. This eliminates folding, stuffing and sealing-further streamlining the process and greatly reducing handling, time, and cost.Burris provides its blank Four-of-a-Kind Postcardsâ„¢ in a wide variety of weights, colors, finishes, and recycled content.

Endicia provides ways for users to buy postage online, and provides its DAZzle program that allows users to print postcards four-up, mail merge names and addresses, verify address formats, and print postage in the same pass.

Using Burris postcards, churches, trade associations, and non-profits keep in touch with members, reach out for new ones, announce special events and fundraisers, and thank donors for support. Government or military use Burris postcards to mail notices. Housing agencies announce pest inspections and utility outages. QuickBooks® users can print invoices four-up on postcards. Utilities, municipalities, boroughs, villages, cities, and towns mail postcards for notices and billing. Business announce openings, sales, service specials, and new products.
