8-1/2 in x 11 in Laser/Inkjet Postcards 4 Per Page - Canary Cards

In this review of the 8-1/2 in x 11 in laser/inkjet postcards, the bottom line is straightforward: this case is for anyone who needs a large quantity of bright canary postcards that print cleanly on laser machines and can be duplexed for two-sided pieces. The reviewer found the pack of 1,000 sheets (4,000 cards) offers clear, reliable print performance for announcements, coupons, and reminder cards, with micro perforations that eliminate trimming. It is a practical, value-driven choice for offices, small businesses, and event planners who prioritize efficient, printable stock.

Key Features

• Case quantity: A full case contains 1,000 sheets, which yields 4,000 individual cards, keeping reorders infrequent for high-volume jobs.
• Card size and layout: Each sheet holds four 4-1/4 in x 5-1/2 in cards, making it simple to design and impose standard postcard layouts without custom cutting.
• Stock and finish: The 100# tag matte finish provides a flat, professional surface that accepts toner well and reduces glare for photos and text.
• Duplex printing: These postcards are rated good for duplex printing, allowing two-sided printing for announcements or coupons without smudging in most laser setups.
• Micro perforated: Micro perforation means cards separate cleanly by hand with no cutting tools required, saving time when producing batches.
• Postal compliance: The postcards meet U.S. postal regulations and postcard rate dimensions, simplifying mailing for campaigns and reminders.

Who It's For

These postcards are best for office administrators, small business owners, and event coordinators who need a reliable, high-volume supply for mailings, save the date cards, coupons, or past due notices. The large case size and canary color suit organizations running frequent campaigns or seasonal promotions that benefit from a bright, attention-getting stock.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who require heavyweight, premium card stock or rigid, poster-like postcards; some customers describe the paper as lightweight or thin, so if a very thick, luxury feel is essential, test a sample before committing to a full case.
