I'm working on a direct mail piece, and they have given me freedom on sizing. Its going to be a 1 fold piece taped shut, with one face having the mailing information, and the rest of the faces will be graphics. I can only find templates on usps.com for Business Reply Cards, and this won't be a Business Reply piece. I was thinking there were more sizing options available for things like this...Anyone have any info? Thanks

depending on how you are going to mail it, you have a lot of freedom for the size. We do regular postcards that range from 6"x4" to 8.5"11" you pay the same for bulkrate.
Pretty much you can go any size you want in between 6"x4" and 8.5"x11" without incurring any extra fees besides for the weight.
Postcard Templates / regulations
Hope that helps. I work at a direct mail place, if you have any questions, let me know, I can go ask someone in production.Comment

Things have changed, its no longer a folded piece, I'm goign to make it 6" x 8.5"...I'm going to follow the guide on the link that CamarotaDesign posted. I really wanted a black background on both sides, but I'll have to leave white in the areas it calls for
Thanks everyone!
oh, one more thing, it needs a perforation on one end, like 2" or so from the left edge..any problems with this?Comment

Should be fine with perf. Just as long as it's done properly and isn't falling off! What is the perf for?
I did a mail out - change of company name. We had a perf at the end so that when you ripped it off you got their new business card.Comment
