Can you mail 5x7 post cards
Yes, you can mail 5x7 postcards, but there are a few things to keep in mind:
- Size: 5x7 postcards are a bit larger than the standard postcard size of 3.5x5.5 inches. While they can still be mailed, they may not fit in standard postcard envelopes or slots.
- Weight: 5x7 postcards are heavier than standard postcards, which can affect the cost of postage. You may need to use a larger envelope or a heavier-weight stamp to mail them.
- Postage rates: The cost of postage for a 5x7 postcard will depend on the weight and size of the card, as well as the destination. You can use the USPS Postage Calculator to estimate the cost of postage for your specific postcard.
Here are some general guidelines for mailing 5x7 postcards:
- Weight: A 5x7 postcard with a standard weight (about 0.1 oz) can be mailed for the same cost as a standard postcard (currently $0.55).
- Weight with a photo or other inserts: If your 5x7 postcard has a photo or other inserts that add weight, you may need to use a heavier-weight stamp or a larger envelope. The cost of postage will depend on the weight of the card.
- International mailing: If you're mailing a 5x7 postcard internationally, the cost of postage will depend on the destination and the weight of the card. You can use the USPS International Postage Calculator to estimate the cost of postage.
To mail a 5x7 postcard, you can use a larger envelope or a specialized postcard envelope that is designed to fit larger postcards. You can also use a heavier-weight stamp or a roll of stamps to ensure that your postcard is properly postage-paid.
Remember to always check with your local post office or the USPS website for the most up-to-date information on postage rates and regulations.
