4x6 postcards - size comparisons

Some considerations about sizing:

	4x6 size is the most common size for production postcards.
	4x6 and 4.25x5.5 sizes can both be mailed at the lowest postcard postage rates.
	The large 5x7 and 5.5x8.5 sizes require postage equivalent to sending a letter.
	If you want, we can offer a custom size cut out from the nearest size listed above.  We would need to quote a cut charge for custom sizing.
	Each size requires different cropping of a photo to fill the size.
	If you have a lot of text to print on the back, then a larger size might be desired.

It can be difficult to visualize the difference in these sizes.  Below are some examples images which offer scaled ratio comparison of these sizes.  The actual scale of these images will look different on different browsers, but the ratio scale between sizes gives a visualization for how they compare:

4x6 postcard

4.25x5.5 postcard (same size as a quarter page of standard 8.5x11 notebook paper)

5.5x8.5 postcard  (same size as a half page of standard 8.5x11 notebook paper)

5x7 postcard

 Notice the small difference in cropping around the edges for each image to fill the size.
