Jenison, MI, Rural Carrier Kevin Galligan “The Postal Service and our customers have worked toward this for some time and we expect that the large-size commercial First-Class Mail postcard keeps mail relevant in an increasingly digital marketplace,” said Margaret Pepe, product management executive director. The new postcard size also reflects the Postal Service’s effort to add value to mail, a major tenet of Delivering for America, the organization’s 10-year plan. “The larger postcard allows ample communication space as well as the size to make the card noticeable in the mailbox,” Flanagan said.

On July 28, the Postal Regulatory Commission approved an increase in the maximum size limit for postcards that fall under the Commercial Presorted or Automation First-Class Mail postage rate. The larger postcards allow business mailers to share information and offer digital features such as QR codes.
