Quality suddenly disappeared! They're now no better than the cheap no-name cards.
on July 10, 2020
Posted by: John
from Missoula, MT
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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great for Ham Radio hobby

One of the facets of the hobby of ham (amateur) radio is the exchange of postcards confirming a contact over the air. Since it's possible to make contact with someone else in just about any other place in world, customized confirmations (called QSL cards) can be a real treat. Instead of spending a bunch of money at a printer having several hundred cards printed up that I must fill out by hand, I can now produce my own and everything is professional looking with this Avery product. Templates are readily available for download, so you can customize to your heart's content. Great product and the perforations are perfect.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Paper Weight for Postcards?
on June 13, 2017
Posted by: JR
from Jacksonville, FL
I have #3380 Textured White Postcards which states it meets US Postal regulations. However, I would like a slightly thicker paper for postcard invitation. I would like to know the weight of the paper so that I can buy a thicker postcard that I can use the same template. Perhaps they are all this thin? They look great with my design on them but I hate to see what they look like after being sent through the mail. Trying to "chat" with Avery was unsuccessful as no agent ever came. I'm rating a 3 but if the paper was slightly thicker, it would get a five, hands down!
Pros: Sharp Tones & Colors, Design looks good on the texture
Cons: Flimsy

The paper weight for product 8387 is 86 lbs and we're also very sorry to hear that the chat queue was busy for you. In the future you can also reach us by phone at (800) GO AVERY or by e-mail at help@avery.com. If you have any further issues or concerns please let us know!

Another GREAT Avery product

I used these postcards often in my previous position. We decided to begin using postcards instead of letters when corresponding with our clients to save on postage. These postcards were easy to use, The perforations made it a simple task to fold on the line and separate for mailing. So much easier than typing a letter and envelope for each client, folding the letter, stuffing the envelope and sealing the envelope. When mailings go to 1000+ recipients this was really a time saver in addition to the money saved on postage alone. I will definitely continue to use them every chance I get in my new position! Thanks AVERY!!

Inaccurate Template
on September 17, 2024
Posted by: Joey
The Templates for these cards are not accurate. The cards are symmetrically spaced in the vertical and horizontal dimensions in reality, but in the templates the bottom margin is much larger than the top margin, in every format. Yes I did everything right and checked all formats, not just word doc. It imported the same way in Adobe Illustrator and PDF format as well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello joey, thank you for your review. My apologies for the issues you experienced printing with this template. I am not able to recreate this issue, so I am not sure if this is a printer-grab or alignment issue, or perhaps a die cut issue with the cards.
