Create and mail a single personalized postcard online without opening a customer account or meeting a batch minimum for one US recipient address.
At a glance
Direct answer
Choose one photo or illustrated destination, write one message, and enter one US recipient address and one US return address. Review the front, back, size, and price, then pay through Stripe. IRIS prints and mails that single postcard. No customer account or minimum batch is required.
A single-card flow
Many direct-mail services begin with recipient lists and campaign tools. IRIS starts with one person and one postcard. The editor keeps the choices focused: artwork, size, layout, title font, message, return address, and recipient address.
What one postcard costs
| Size | Price and fit |
|---|---|
| 4 x 6 | $3.49, including full-color printing and First-Class postage. Good for one strong image and a short message. |
| 6 x 9 | $4.49, including full-color printing and First-Class postage. Provides more room for the image and message. |
Before sending
Read the message once from the recipient's point of view, verify the address, and keep private information out of the image and message because both sides are exposed. Save the private order-status link after payment.
