Postal cards are postal stationery. And it can change your life. Think about it.
Postal cards are postal stationery and in most cases, have printed markings on a mail piece.
In the United States, they were first produced in 1873.
Some of the forms taken by postal cards include on one side the regular single card, the address, and on the other side a message and or a picture.
Also, there are official postal cards used for official government business with a “penalty for private use”.
They are sold by postal authorities. The postal operator of that country in most cases is a public postal service.
A postcard is a piece of thick paper or thin cardboard, mostly rectangular, for writing and mailing without an envelope. Non-rectangular shapes may also be used but are rare.
Also, there are wooden postcards, copper postcards sold in the Copper Country of the U.S. state of Michigan, and coconut “postcards” from tropical islands…
