Flyers/Postcards Printing
Thick 16pt Card Stock with Choice of UV, UV 1 Side or Matte Finish.
16pt cardstock postcards strike the perfect balance between durability and affordability, and Elite Flyers prints them with superior inks and materials for less than the competition can.
UV and non-UV are the abbreviations for the different methods of finish we offer. Here are some of the differences between the two applications:
UV (ultraviolet coating) is a clear liquid coat spread over the paper like ink and then cured instantly with ultraviolet light. UV coating gives more protection and shine than either varnish or aqueous coating. This coating is the “laminate-style” coating that you see on ultra high-gloss magazine covers.
Non-UV is when no coating is applied to the printed piece, leaving the natural coat of our premium 16pt cardstock or 100lb text sheets. We recommend that you choose the non-UV finish if you intend to write on or affix stamps or labels to your printed materials, or if you do not wish to have an extra shiny coat on your final printed pieces.

Quantity
The quantity available is dependent on the order specifications you choose. To see available quantities, complete all order specifications in the pricing calculator and click on the “Quantity” dropdown menu.
Due to our printing process, we print in specific quantity increments. If you would like an amount not listed in the pricing calculator, you have two options.
- Request a custom estimate for the specific quantity you need
- Order a larger quantity and ask us to ship only what you need
Ordering one of our specified quantities is generally more affordable than a custom estimate. Let us know how many units you would like shipped and we will recycle the excess for you. Simply choose the amount of items you would like recycled under the “shipping” section after placing your order.
For example, if you would like 700 units, you can order 1000 units and let us know you only want 700 shipped. We will responsibly dispose of the extras.
We typically print more than the quantity ordered. Because printing is a manufacturing process, the total finished quantity may vary. We usually ship a few more than you order, but sometimes quantities can vary +/- 5%. Standard industry procedure is to consider this range shipment in full.
When to choose Offset
4-Color Offset printing is ideal for lower prices on large quantity orders or any time you would like coating on your products.
Almost always, people choose this option when ordering large quantities.
When to choose Digital
4-Color Digital printing is ideal for lower quantity orders and additional paper options, and usually has even faster turnaround times. Digital products cannot be coated.
