Postcards
As E.M. Forster wrote, "To only connect..." A
postcard with a progressive message is a wonderful way to reach not only the recipient but also each person through whose hands it passes. These postcards are printed with beautiful artwork, often in full color, and most cost 95 cents each. Unless otherwise noted, postcards are 4" by 6". Six are in the larger 5" by 7" size. We have over 160 different postcards. Check them out in the various categories. The one you see on this page are just a few of them...
If you are an activist selling them at a table or a shop, a great way to display postcards is with a tabletop spinner rack. The best source for these is a U.S. manufacturer, Utility Engineering in Pearl River, N.Y. – www.utilitydisplays.com
You can also band each style and put them in a box on the table for people to browse through. The spinner rack displays each of 30 cards fully and uses the upward space above the table while only creating a 10" footprint on the table surface.
Postcards are vastly under-rated as a medium that can educate and communicate, as well as amuse and inspire. The postcards we offer are more than just a pretty picture or tourist scene. Many of our postcards are published in Europe, where the art of the postcard has developed differently. Because postcards are small and inexpensive they are often overlooked. Yet this diverse mix of themes and styles are a great way to reach others. While postcards are often mailed to others, over half the postcards purchased are never mailed. Instead they are posted on a fridge or bulletin board, or added to someone's collection. Either way, they are seen by many people over time. The images we see help shape our attitudes and how we see the world. Remember, we can also custom print full color postcards of your own design, ass few as 500 for under .07¢ each. Go to our Custom Full Color 4" x 6" Postcard page, by clicking on the yellow"Customprinting" tab at the top of our home age.
