How to make an EDDM postcard
Creating an Every Door Direct Mail postcard is simple when you follow the right steps. You can launch a campaign fully done for you with route selection, paperwork, bundling, and delivery handled, or order prints and manage the mailing yourself. Either way, your design, print setup, and delivery plan stay aligned from start to finish.
Choose a template
Start with a layout built for direct mail so sizes, spacing, and messaging areas are already optimized for USPS delivery and easy readability.

Start with a USPS-ready EDDM postcard layout that is built to mail

If you are getting ready to run an Every Door Direct Mail campaign, you typically need two things at the start: a strong message and an EDDM format that is easy to read and ready for printing. MyCreativeShop templates are designed for oversized EDDM postcards, with clear space for your headline, offer, and contact details. That makes it easier to create a direct mail postcard that feels professional, looks credible in the mailbox, and supports your goal, whether that is driving calls, store visits, or online orders.

Customize your EDDM postcard design online with tools made for everyone

Our online editor helps you create an EDDM postcard in minutes, directly in your browser. Swap photos, change copy, and adjust layout elements without needing design experience. You can choose from millions of free photos, icons, graphics, and patterns, then pair them with a huge library of Google fonts to match your style. Add your logo, set brand colors, and fine-tune details like spacing and emphasis so your EDDM postcard template becomes your own, consistent with the rest of your marketing.

Finish strong with files, sharing, and fast printing you can trust

When your design is ready, you control the next step. Save your EDDM postcard to your account so you can revisit it anytime, make quick edits for new offers, and reorder without rebuilding. You can share your design online, download a print-ready file, or order professional EDDM postcard printing through MyCreativeShop and have it shipped to your door. If your order arrives and something is not right, our expert support team will work with you to make it right, so you can move forward with confidence.

Questions and answers
What makes a postcard “EDDM-ready,” and how do I make sure my design is set up correctly?

An EDDM-ready postcard meets USPS size requirements and includes the required mailing indicia. When designing with us, the editor asks if the postcard will be used for EDDM. If yes, the design is automatically adjusted if needed and mailing guides are added so everything meets requirements.

There are no layout restrictions. The guides simply show where mailing elements must stay clear, so you can design freely while still ensuring your postcard is ready for EDDM processing.

What sizes work best for EDDM postcards, and how do I choose the right one?

Many EDDM campaigns perform best with oversized postcards because they stand out in the mailbox and provide more room for headlines, offers, and calls to action. We offer two popular USPS-approved EDDM sizes: 9" W x 6.5" H and 12" W x 6.5" H.

The best choice depends on how much information you want to include. The 9" x 6.5" size works well for simple messages and focused offers, while the 12" x 6.5" format gives more space for multiple services, larger visuals, or more detailed promotions.

Do you provide EDDM templates I can customize, or do I need to design from scratch?

We provide customizable EDDM postcard templates so there is no need to start from a blank canvas. You can pick a design, customize it, and adapt it to your brand without worrying about technical setup.

Images, text, colors, and layout elements can all be adjusted so the final design matches your brand and message.

Can I upload my own logo and photos and still keep the design consistent with my brand?

Yes. Uploading your logo and brand images helps keep your design consistent. A strong visual identity usually comes from simple choices such as using one or two fonts, a focused color palette, and repeating visual elements.

Even without a full brand kit, a clean and cohesive look can be achieved by choosing one main accent color, keeping body text simple, and letting your offer act as the visual focal point.

I want my postcard to drive calls and appointments. What should I include so it performs well?

High-performing EDDM postcards focus on clarity and one primary action. Effective designs typically include a clear offer, a short list of benefits, and contact details that are easy to find.

A proven structure is one strong headline, one clear offer, and one obvious next step. If the goal is appointments, that next step should be direct and visible, such as calling or scheduling online, supported by details like hours or service area.

After I finish designing, what are my options for downloading, sharing, or printing?

Once your design is complete, it can be downloaded, shared digitally, ordered as prints, or mailed using our direct mail solution SnailBlast. Designs stay saved in your account so updates, seasonal versions, and reorders can be done quickly.

How can I choose EDDM routes or launch a mailing campaign?

You can launch a campaign through SnailBlast, our direct mail platform. It includes an EDDM mapping tool that lets you select routes using real USPS delivery data, so you can plan coverage before sending.

You can handle mailing yourself or use our full-service option where route selection, paperwork, bundling, and drop off are handled for you.

If I need to run the same EDDM route again, do I have to rebuild the postcard each time?

No. Because your postcard design stays saved in your account, repeating a campaign usually means opening the existing design, making any quick updates, and downloading, printing, or relaunching your mailing.

This makes it easy to keep a consistent look across campaigns while rotating offers or promotions throughout the year.
