For printable postcards on standard letter-size paper, Desktop Publishing Supplies’ two-per-page cardstock is a practical choice; for ready-cut cards, its 100-sheet pack offers 200 postcards. The 80lb option suits buyers who want heavier stock, while Sweetzer & Orange’s 300gsm cards and Aidunmis’s 200gsm sheets work for messages and crafts.

Desktop Publishing Supplies Two-Per-Page Postcards
Best for: People who want to print two 5 x 7 postcards on each standard 8.5 x 11-inch sheet. The pack includes 25 sheets, for 50 cards total, and uses 65lb, 176gsm bright white matte cardstock.
This is the most direct fit for home postcard printing because the product is designed around a two-card-per-page layout and is listed as compatible with inkjet and laser printers. The matte surface provides a clean base for invitations, announcements, and marketing designs.
Limitation: The cards come on letter-size sheets rather than as a pack of individually cut 5 x 7 cards, so they may require separation after printing.
Desktop Publishing Supplies Blank White Postcards
Best for: Buyers who need a larger supply of basic, ready-sized blank cards. This pack contains 100 sheets and 200 postcards made from bright white 65lb cover stock.
The product is listed as compatible with both inkjet and laser printers, making it a straightforward option for printing designs or text on blank postcards. Choose this pack if quantity and printer compatibility matter more than a heavier cardstock weight.
Limitation: The listed features do not specify a surface finish, so buyers seeking a particular texture or coating should check the product details before ordering.
Desktop Publishing Supplies 80lb Postcards
Best for: Buyers who prefer a heavier card than the 65lb options. These white postcards use 80lb, 218gsm cardstock and provide two 5 x 7 cards per sheet, with 100 sheets and 200 postcards listed.
Choose this product if thickness is a priority for handwritten messages or printed designs. Its two-per-sheet format is useful for preparing multiple cards at once, while the white stock offers a neutral background.
Limitation: The provided features do not state printer compatibility. Check your printer’s supported paper weight and feeding requirements before attempting to print on this cardstock.
Sweetzer & Orange 300gsm Blank Postcards
Best for: People who want thick, double-sided blank cards for writing, drawing, recipes, invitations, or small art projects. The pack includes 50 white 5 x 7 cards made from 300gsm stock, with a printable matte front and back.
Compared with the 65lb options, this is a better fit when a substantial feel and usable blank space on both sides matter. The cards can be used for mailing or handed to someone in person.
Limitation: The supplied product details do not list inkjet or laser printer compatibility. Confirm printer support before buying if you plan to print rather than write or draw on the cards.
Aidunmis 5 x 7 White Cardstock
Best for: Crafters and card makers looking for 110 blank 5 x 7 sheets for postcards, invitations, greeting cards, or scrapbooking. The cardstock is 200gsm, white, and blank on both sides.
The listing describes a smooth surface intended for writing, artwork, cutting, folding, and stamping. It is a flexible choice for projects where the same pack may be used for more than postcards.
Limitation: Printer compatibility is not stated in the supplied features. Check the paper specifications and your printer’s guidance before using it for printed postcard designs.
Buying Guide: How to Choose 5 x 7 Postcards
Do you need individual cards or letter-size sheets?
Choose individual 5 x 7 cards if you want to write, draw, or print on ready-sized pieces. A two-per-page format can be useful for printing multiple cards from standard letter-size sheets, but confirm whether the cards need to be separated after printing.
What cardstock weight should you choose?
The listed products range from 65lb cover stock to 80lb stock and 200–300gsm cardstock. A lower listed weight may be suitable for general printing and writing, while heavier options are intended for a more substantial card. Printer support varies, so check the manufacturer’s paper-weight guidance before choosing thick stock.
Is printer compatibility important?
Yes, especially if you plan to print at home. Two products above explicitly list inkjet and laser compatibility. For products without that information, do not assume they will feed through your printer; check the listing and printer specifications first.
How many postcards do you need?
Compare the total card count, not only the number of sheets. Some listings provide two postcards per sheet, while others sell individual cards or cardstock sheets. For a large project, calculate the number of finished 5 x 7 cards you need before selecting a pack.
Should both sides be printable?
If your design needs artwork and a message on opposite sides, look for a product described as blank or printable on both sides. Always confirm printer compatibility separately, since a double-sided blank surface does not by itself guarantee printer suitability.
