USPS requires a standard 1.25” X1.25” Indicia area and a 4” X2.5” addressing area. In most cases this is not a problem as the print area is much larger than the indicia and addressing area combined; however, when printing on 4” X6” postcards a significant portion of the card must be reserved for addressing and indicia. If you want your artwork to qualify for Presorted Automation please make sure you follow the guidelines below.
