RE: Standard photographic paper sizes?

Mike -

I normally send 5X7" postcards. Over the past decade I have send thousands and only had one returned because it was too large. I believe that you may be correct about your statement, however - I think that 4X6" is the largest they say they will send using postcard rate, but they actually will send a much larger size.

Cheers -

george

As far as the USPS is concerned, I believe the largest size that can mail at postcard rate is 4x6. Larger sizes mail at regular first class rate.<br><br>Mike<br>"Chrome Dome"<br><br><br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: "Chuck Flagg" <cflagg4_at_mchsi.com><br>To: pinhole-discussion_at_spitbite.org<br>Subject: RE: [pinhole-discussion] Standard photographic paper sizes?<br>Date: Fri, 10 Dec 2004 06:25:36 -0600<br><br>> <br>> Hello Malin,<br>> If you are looking for the average postcard size.
