9x12 EDDM postcards in portrait format are slightly larger than a letter-sized piece of paper (8.5x11) providing you with a large canvas to display your message in detail while also including eye-catching design elements that emphasize your message.

When designing your 9x12 EDDM postcard in portrait format, you need to carefully consider the purpose of Every Door Direct Mail, or EDDM. When taking advantage of EDDM you will be delivering your EDDM mailer to every address on a chosen mailing route. Because of this, you need to create a design that appeals to the majority of people who live on that mailing route.

In addition, you also want to make sure you use a 9x12 EDDM postcard design template in portrait format which we have several versions of above for you to download for free. By using a 9x12 EDDM mailer template, you’ll be able to not only create a design that aligns with the USPS EDDM design requirements, but you’ll also be able to create a design that follows the correct bleed, margin, and trim areas for printing.

Also, while the 9x12 EDDM postcard is sure to stand out with its size alone, it’s important that you include within your design an intriguing call to action, high-quality images that are at least 300 dpi, high-contrast, large text, and colors that align with your brand.
