Brief History of Postcards

Everything has its beginnings, and postcards are no exemption. If you’re into sending postcards to people, it would probably interest you to learn about how they actually came to be.

1. From 1898 to 1901, postcards were not called as it is, they were referred to by the people as private mailing cards. These cards were authorized by the Congress to be manufactured by others. Private mailing cards contained an address section on one side, and a space for written or printed elements on the other. You may also see sample photo postcard templates.

2. In 1901, card manufacturers were finally allowed to use the term postcards. These old postcards used during this year until 1907 were referred to as undivided back postcards because of the white space added for the entire back portion of the card.

3. In 1907, adjustments were made on the back portion of the card as requested by the Congress. The back of the card was divided into two portions, one for the address of the recipient and one for the written message. These postcards were called divided back postcards mainly because of its appearance, and these postcards lasted until 1915. You may also see powerpoint postcard templates.

4. Starting in 1915, publishers and manufacturers wanted to save on the expenses by conserving the amount of ink used per postcard. Because of this card manufacturers decided to leave a white border around the edges of the card. You may also see 5*7 postcard templates.

5. In 1930, there was a mass production of postcards due to its high demand, and these postcards were manufactured on a fiber board that had a texture that’s almost as similar to a linen. You may also see birthday postcard templates.

6. From 1939, card manufacturers decided to use real, colored photographs on their postcards, and this resulted in sharp and highly vibrant images. These photo postcards are still being manufactured and used up to this day.

What Are the Types of Postcards?

With regards to the types of postcards, they are actually more on the size or the measurement ratio used for the card stock.

2. Jumbo Postcards

This type of postcard is slightly larger than the regular ones with a measurement of 5.5 by 8.5 inches, and as you can see from its dimensions, these postcards are a bit rectangular in shape. This type of postcard provides a big enough space for a mesmerizing image that you want to emphasize. But even with the graphical design element’s added on the postcard, you will still have more than enough room for textual elements.

3. Block Postcards

For some reason, you might get the impression that this postcard comes in a squarish shape, but it actually doesn’t. The measurement for this type of postcard is 6.125 by 8.25 inches, which is obviously slightly larger than jumbo postcards, and is still on the rectangular side. This type of postcard is perfect if you plan on adding multiple images and text on the front side. For the back side, on the other hand, you can use half of the entire space for graphical elements, the other half is intended for the sender’s message and the postage stamp.

4. Panoramic Postcards

From the name itself, you will already get the idea that this is going to be an extremely long postcard. The width for this type of postcard is only at 5.75 inches, which is slightly bigger than jumbo postcards. However, its length extends up to 11.25 inches, making it a whole lot longer than block postcards. This type of postcard is commonly used by businesses, and is meant to showcase powerful headlines and exceptional imagery. This type of postcard also allows its designers to get as creative as they want considering the amount of space allotted for them. You may also like travel postcard templates.
