Plastic Postcard Mailers come in various thicknesses and finishes to meet campaign goals.

Clients commonly report that Plastic Postcard Mailers achieve double the response rates of traditional mail pieces and increase redemption when paired with gift card programs. These mailers drive measurable ROI by encouraging immediate redemption and ongoing brand recall.

Because the mailer itself is perceived as valuable, campaigns often enjoy higher conversions and downstream sales-especially when paired with targeted offers, clear CTAs and retail-friendly designs that facilitate easy in-store or online use.
