Postcard Design Requirements
Design Regulations for Postcard Mailing
Sending postcards would require you to know what the USPS postcard design regulations are. There is a required layout for the back panel to make postcard mailing faster.
Make sure to keep certain areas of the back panel empty, like the OCR Read Area, Indicia and the barcode clear Zone. If at all you decide to place any design, the maximum opacity allowed in the said areas is only 7%.
The return address should be kept at the upper left side of the panel. Please be cautious of names of locations other than that of the mailing and return address. This includes names on maps.
