Art Postcards

Postcards at EnjoyPoster are small art cards, 4 by 6 inches, printed one at a time when you order. They are small mailable cards, not something you mount in a frame across the room. They are the kind of card you can hold, drop in the mail, pin to a board, or stand up on a shelf.

Each one carries a single piece of artwork printed edge to edge on one side. The back stays clean, so there is room to write a note or an address. I make them to order, which means you are not pulling from a dusty stack of leftovers. The card is printed fresh and shipped within 1 to 3 business days.

If you have ever wanted a piece of the art you like without committing to something big for the wall, this is the smallest, cheapest way in. At $5.99 a card, it is easy to grab one, or grab a few.

The art postcard

Here is what the card itself looks like. The artwork runs to the edges on the front, and the size is fixed at 4 by 6 inches, the same footprint as a standard photo print.

Art postcard, 4x6 in

from $5.99

A single 4 by 6 inch card on firm cardstock, printed full-bleed on the front with a blank back for writing. Light enough to mail with a standard stamp, sturdy enough to pin or stand up on a desk.

The card is small on purpose. It fits a postcard frame, a corkboard, the lip of a shelf, or the inside of an envelope. You are buying the artwork at the size of something you can carry, not something you mount.

What people do with them

The nice thing about a card this size is that there is no single right way to use it. A few of the common ones:

Mail it. The back is blank, so you can write a few lines, add an address, and send it. A printed art card lands very differently than a text message, and it costs less than a greeting card from the shop.

Pin it. Tack it to a corkboard, a fridge, a studio wall, or the edge of a monitor. Swap it out whenever you feel like a change. Pins and tape do not ruin a $5.99 card the way they would a framed piece.

Stand it on a desk. Leaned against a wall on a shelf or propped in a small easel, a card brings a bit of art to a workspace without taking up real room. Good for a desk, a windowsill, or a bookshelf.

Collect a set. Because they are cheap and small, people grab several in a theme and rotate them, or line a few up in a row. A handful of matching cards reads as a small gallery for the price of one larger print.

What you receive

One 4 by 6 inch card per order line, printed on firm matte cardstock. The stock has enough weight to feel like a real card, not a flimsy flyer, and the matte finish keeps glare down so the art stays readable under a lamp.

The front is printed full-bleed, meaning the image carries all the way to the edges with no white border. The back is left blank for a note, a message, or a mailing address. Each card ships flat, protected so it does not arrive bent.

Colors are printed to match the artwork shown on the page as closely as the printing process allows. Screens and ink are never identical, so expect a faithful reading of the art rather than a pixel-for-pixel copy of your monitor.

Shipping and delivery

Every card is printed to order, so there is a short make time before it goes out. I aim to print and ship within 1 to 3 business days, then it travels by standard post from there.

On shipping cost: a single $5.99 card does not ship free, since the order is well under the $30 threshold. One card ships at a flat $7.99. If your order total is over $30, shipping is free, which is one more reason buying a small set makes sense. Six cards, for example, clears the free-shipping line and the per-card cost stays low.

Cards travel flat in protective packaging so they reach you in the same shape they left.

As a gift

A postcard is an easy, low-cost gift that still feels chosen. You can write on the back and hand it over, or mail it straight to the person. At under six dollars a card, it works as a small thank-you, a note tucked into a parcel, or a stocking-sized present.

Sets make the better gift, honestly. Pick three or four cards around a theme someone likes, clear the $30 free-shipping mark, and you have a small bundle that looks far more thoughtful than its price. Pair them with a frame or a few pins and it becomes a complete little gift.

Care and longevity

Keep the card out of direct sun for the long haul, the same as any printed photo. Bright, all-day light will fade any ink over years, so a spot with indirect light keeps the colors honest for longer.

Handle it by the edges to keep fingerprints off the printed face, and wipe dust away with a dry, soft cloth. Skip water and cleaning sprays, since the cardstock will buckle if it gets wet. Pinned, framed, or standing on a shelf, a card kept dry and out of harsh sun holds up for years.

Browse by theme

The artwork comes from the same library that feeds the rest of the shop, so most subjects are available as a 4 by 6 card. If you want to narrow things down, you can jump straight to car postcards, animal postcards, flower postcards, cityscape postcards, or abstract postcards. Pick a lane, or mix a few into a set.

Questions people ask

How big is the postcard? It is 4 by 6 inches, the same size as a standard photo print. It fits a postcard frame, a corkboard, or a mailing envelope.

Can I actually mail it? Yes. The back is blank, so you can write a message and an address on it and send it like any postcard. It is light enough for a standard stamp.

What does it cost and how much is shipping? A card is $5.99. A single card ships at a flat $7.99 since it is under the $30 free-shipping line. Orders over $30 ship free, so a set of cards often makes more sense.

What is it printed on? Firm matte cardstock, printed full-bleed on the front with a blank back. The weight is closer to a real card than a thin flyer.

How long until it arrives? Cards are printed to order and usually ship within 1 to 3 business days, then travel by standard post.

Can I order a set in different themes? Yes. Add as many cards as you like, mixing themes freely. Crossing the $30 total also unlocks free shipping on the whole order.

Will the color match what I see on screen? It is printed to match the artwork closely, though screens and ink never line up perfectly. Expect a faithful version of the art rather than an exact copy of your monitor.
