Nice weight & texture. The perforations make nice clean tears. I used them with a laserjet printer though even though these are meant for inkjet. Oops! Still worked, but the ink rubs off a little- even though the designs I printed are still visible.
I've spend more on having a custom made sticker from a seller than buying these and making it myself. Saves me money and time having to wait for shipment to arrive. Thank you.
Quality suddenly disappeared! They're now no better than the cheap no-name cards.

We have used the 8387 postcards for literally decades for photo cards we mail out monthly. After replenishing our stock this spring, in the middle of a run we were shocked by the difference between the previous stock and the new. What used to be sharp and vibrant photos comparable to those printed on glossy paper are now bland and washed out. (see photo) We also noticed that the previous generation of cards were manufactured in Germany, whereas the new cards come from Mexico. Clearly, Avery not only switch their manufacturing location and/or supplier, but also lowered the quality. These cards aren't cheap, but we were happy to pay the premium because of their superior quality. This current generation of cards are no no better than the no-name brands that can be had for less than half the price. That is no longer the case. We're currently rushing to find a new supplier. Avery, bring back the previous cards! These are useless to us.
Bought these for an project so i wouldn't have to cut out each postcard. The seration cause rippled edges and left rips in, wasting a good portion of them. I tried using a spray to seal the images surface and add stiffness for travel, but the quality and weight of paper is low so it just caused the ink to bleed through. Would have had to adhere paper to add message and address to the backside, which defeated the whole pupose of purchasing these for greater ease in my project. Will be using for scrap papet instead of functional postcards.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
