We print on 14pt and 16pt stocks with sizes that meet USPS EDDM® rules. Every order gets a digital proof showing indicia, address panel clearance, and bleed. Our team flags layout issues before you print thousands of pieces.
Free Design Setup covers templates, route-friendly headlines, QR codes, and file conversion. Upload print-ready art or send a logo and offer. Approve your proof, then we print and ship bundles ready for facing slips and Post Office drop-off.

Planning Postage, Routes, and Timing

How We Outperform Competitors on Price and Value
While other providers are focusing in investing millions promoting their EDDM® postcard printing services, and over-inflating the cost of production by this extra-marketing expense, we rather invest in equipment, technology, intuitive workflows to keep our product lower cost and let the customers to be our main word-of-mouth promoters.
Unmatched Value Against Vistaprint EDDM® Postcards
While Vistaprint is a well-known name, definitely one of the top printers in the market, its no surprise that their EDDM® postcard pricing will often come with a premium for their brand recognition and reputation. Their brand recognition marketing invests millions of dollars a year, maybe a month, to keep the business trend, and we all know who will pay for these promotions.
We are still far from being as popular as they are, and far of spending millions in brand recognition. These savings are passed on to the customer.
Superior Savings Over NextDayFlyers® Postcards
NextDayFlyers is currently offering very good pricing for fast shipping EDDM® postcards, but their focus is the fastest speed possible (Next Day Printing) and that costs an extra buck or two. We rather provide customers with the option of slower print speeds and much affordable postcards.
Outmaneuvering Staples & Office Depot EDDM® Services
Well known local print stores like Staples and Office Depot are also in the game to offer EDDM® postcards along with many other products. These providers can print 50 to 500 postcards and cut it, pack it within the same day, for a much higher prime. Usually color copier machines are used to produce these postcards, quality is good, but we all know offset processes are other level entirely.
Our focus is to provide the same service, a bit slower but HIGHER QUALITY and MUCH cheaper, advantage comes when you need bulk printing, instead of just 50 to 100 units. Their pricing reflects a regular commercial color copy printed in thick paper, full color both sides, while CheapRushPrinting focus on bulk, higher quantity, and perfect finished EDDM® postcards that will pop up over all other marketing flyers in the customer mailbox.
