From your file to the mail stream
Get a straight price
Call, email, or walk in. Postcard prices are posted, and anything custom gets a fast, free quote that holds for 30 days.
Send your art or let the design desk build it
A print-ready file works best, but if all you have is a photo, a sample, or an idea, the design desk can build the card from that.
Approve your proof
Custom work gets a proof before production. If we ever miss the mark against what you approved, we reprint free.
Print, then pick up or mail
With print-ready art in by 10 AM Monday through Friday, most standard print jobs are done the same afternoon. If we're mailing for you, we address the cards from your list and handle the mail side; delivery is available on many orders too.
Jobs like yours, already on the wall.
One order, straight to the mailboxes
A customer needed both printing and mailing handled as a single job. We printed the pieces, ran the addressing, and got everything into the mail stream with no work on their part, which is exactly how the service is supposed to feel.
Coupons that come back through the door
California Gyro & Kabobs runs coupon flyers and menus through the shop. Offer pieces like these are the classic postcard play: cheap to print in bulk, easy to hand out or mail, and you can count exactly how many come back.
From one photo to a finished piece
Una Leggett came in with just a photo, and the shop turned it into a finished flyer she called beautiful. If your postcard exists only in your head right now, that's a normal starting point here.
Why the mail runs through Fulton Avenue
Printed here, not brokered somewhere else
About 95% of what we sell is made in-house at the Fulton Avenue shop. Your postcards aren't uploaded to a mystery facility three states away; they're printed by the people you talk to.
The mailing part actually gets handled
Plenty of shops print cards and hand you a box. We can take the whole job. One customer, Steven, put it plainly: "The mailing was also done well and without any issues or work on our part."
Prices on the wall, not in a maze
500 cards, $125. 1,000 cards, $170. No login, no configurator, no surprise fees at checkout. That plain-dealing approach is a big part of why the shop holds a 4.8-star Google rating.
Same-day starts before 10 AM.
Free proof, posted prices, and a straight answer on today vs. tomorrow.
Postcard and direct-mail questions, answered plainly
How much does it cost to print 500 postcards in Sacramento?
Our posted price is $125 for 500 4x6 postcards, or $170 for 1,000. Bulk discounts are available on larger runs, and bigger card sizes are quoted quickly at the counter. Those prices are for printing; postage and mailing service are quoted separately once we see your list.
Can you address and mail the postcards for me?
Yes. We offer a print-plus-address-plus-mail service: you supply your mailing list, we print the cards, address them, and handle the mail side as one job. Bring your list to the counter and we'll quote the whole campaign fast and free.
Can I really get postcards the same day?
For the printing itself, yes, in most cases: get print-ready art to us by 10 AM Monday through Friday and most standard jobs are done the same afternoon. Orders after the cutoff or on weekends go out the next business day. If we're also addressing and mailing the run, that side of the job gets its own quoted timeline.
What kind of file should I send?
A print-ready PDF with the artwork extending slightly past the trim edge (bleed) gives the cleanest result, and keeping text a bit inside the edges avoids awkward trims. Don't have a file? The design desk can build your card from a sample, a photo, or a rough sketch.
Do I need my own mailing list?
You have two basic routes: mail to your own list of names and addresses, or blanket entire neighborhoods by carrier route without individual names. If you already have a customer list, bring it in. If you don't, tell us who you're trying to reach and the counter will walk you through the options before you spend a dime on printing.
What size postcard should I choose?
The 4x6 is the workhorse: it's our posted-price size and the most economical way to get an offer into a mailbox. Larger cards get noticed in the stack but can change your postage, so it's worth a quick conversation before you commit. We'll quote any size at the counter.
How do reorders work when my card is running low?
Your files stay on record here, so a reorder is one phone call to (916) 944-7195. No hunting for the original artwork, no re-uploading anything. Businesses that reorder regularly can also set up a trade account with art on file, priority turnaround, and monthly invoicing.
What happens if something prints wrong?
Custom work gets a proof before production, and if we make an error against the proof you approved, we reprint free. Any defect reported within 7 days gets a reprint or a refund. Quotes are good for 30 days and prices are honored as quoted at order time.
