Choosing the right EDDM postcard printer affects your cost-per-piece, turnaround time, and final print quality. Every Door Direct Mail® is one of the most affordable ways for local businesses to reach homeowners — typically $0.24 per piece in postage plus printing. Here are the top three printers for EDDM postcards, what each does well, and how to get your design print-ready.
55printing is a strong choice for budget-conscious campaigns. They offer competitive per-piece pricing, a range of EDDM-approved sizes, and fast turnaround. You can upload your own Canva-exported PDF directly to their portal — just make sure to export as CMYK PDF Print from Canva Pro for accurate colors.
PSPrint offers reliable quality and a straightforward EDDM ordering process. Their online route selector helps you estimate mailing costs before you order. Good option if you want a print partner that handles the USPS paperwork for you. Browse our EDDM postcard templates to have a ready-to-upload file before you order.

All three printers accept PDF files. For the sharpest print results: (1) export from Canva as PDF Print with CMYK color enabled — this requires Canva Pro; (2) use the correct size for your chosen printer — most EDDM campaigns use 6.5×9", 8.5×11", or the popular 9×12" co-op format; (3) include a 0.125" bleed on all sides. GraphicReserve templates are pre-built with bleeds included.
PrintDirtCheap and 55printing both offer 2–4 day turnaround on standard EDDM sizes. PSPrint typically runs 3–5 business days. Rush options are available from all three for an upcharge.
PDF Print with CMYK color profile is the standard. RGB files will be converted by the printer and colors may shift. Export from Canva Pro using the PDF Print option and check the CMYK box before downloading.
EDDM Retail requires a minimum of 200 pieces per mailing. There’s no maximum per drop, but you’re limited to 5,000 pieces per day per post office retail location. Browse our USPS compliant EDDM postcard templates to get started with a design.
