Can I use Postcard templates for commercial purposes?

What should a postcard include on the front and back?
The front of a postcard usually carries the main image or design and a short headline. The back is split between a message area and an address section, often with a stamp box. Marketing postcards add a call to action and contact details, while personal ones leave room for a handwritten note.
What is the standard size for a printed postcard?
Common postcard sizes are about four by six inches and five by seven inches, though smaller mailers exist. Postal services have size rules that affect mailing rates, so checking dimensions before printing matters. Keeping important text away from the edges allows for trimming and a clean finished look.
What are postcards commonly used for?
Postcards work well for announcements, event invitations, thank-you notes, save-the-dates, and marketing mailers. Businesses use them for promotions and reminders, while individuals send them as greetings or travel keepsakes. Their compact, ready-to-read format makes them inexpensive to print and easy to mail.
