Direct Mail & EDDM Postcard Design Tips
- Stay clear of barcode clear zones – It’s tempting to use every single 1/4 inch on your postcard, keep the “clear zone” free from any text or pigmentation. All our postcard templates come with the clear zone labeled as you design your postcard.
- Obey USPS design requirements – There are several key USPS regulations you need to observe to both save yourself money and get every piece delivered. Be sure to find a vendor that has the experience and a track record working with USPS, like One Stop Mail.
- Be creative, be bold – You don’t stand out by blending in. Use postcard, envelopes and flyers to communicate your unique value offered to customers.
Direct Mail Design & Template FAQs
Is there an official USPS postcard design template?
No, but the USPS provides the requirements for postcards, envelopes and any direct mailer. Direct mail services should always include adherence to these regulations.
Do I need a direct mail designer for my mailpieces?
If your direct mail designs are simple enough and you have faith in their marketing potential, you don’t need a graphic designer. However, many direct mail companies, like One Stop Mail, do provide design services or help upon request and have decades of success in EDDM.
Do I need design software for direct mail layouts?
No, along with Adobe InDesign files, you can download PDFs and use either of those as direct mail templates to submit to a direct mail printer. You can design your postcard in any program you choose, Word, Canva, Adobe etc., and plug it into any provided template.
