Classic postcards: timeless style with a modern touch

There’s a reason why classic postcards never go out of style. They’re versatile, simple, and instantly recognizable. Our Classic Postcards give you the best of both worlds: a premium front finish and a natural back that’s perfect for writing.

Why choose classic postcards

Classic postcards are all about keeping tradition alive while offering modern finishes. The front comes with your choice of a soft touch coating for a smooth, velvety feel or a gloss finish that makes colors pop. The back remains natural, designed for handwritten notes, addresses, or creative messages.

This balance is why they’re called classic postcards, they’re made the way postcards have always been, but with elevated quality that makes them stand out.

Thick, durable, and versatile

Printed on strong 18pt stock, these postcards have the right amount of weight to feel substantial in your hands. That thickness also makes them durable enough for direct mail campaigns, event promos, or personal use.

Classic postcards are commonly used for:

• Promotional campaigns
• Mailouts and direct mail marketing
• Event announcements
• Personal messages and keepsakes

According to USPS research, mail is still one of the most effective ways to connect with customers. A physical postcard has staying power, often displayed at desks or on fridges, something digital ads cannot match.

The traditional postcard experience

What sets classic postcards apart is the natural back. It makes writing smooth and easy, whether you’re using a pen or pencil. For businesses, this means you can add a handwritten thank-you note to your promotional piece. For personal use, it keeps the timeless feel of postcards we’ve all grown up with.

Conclusion

Classic postcards are simple, timeless, and practical. With a choice of soft touch or gloss on the front and a natural back for writing, they deliver the best of tradition and modern print quality. If you’re looking for a postcard that feels premium but still keeps its traditional charm, this is the perfect choice.
