The CD postcard – we call it M4-Card – is a regular postcard with an innovative touch.The CD postcard – we call it M4-Card – is a regular postcard with an innovative touch. It is especially embossed in the shape of a disc. This can be a Mini-CD, Mini-DVD (then you might want to call it DVD postcard), as well as a standard size CD or DVD. Because of the deep imprint, the disc blends in with the postcard, which gives the CD postcard a unique design.

The matching print on postcard and disc makes it look like one piece on the motive side.

What you get is a great tool for marketing or a nice gift or souvenir. This disc postcard can be used to impress in nearly all sectors.

Special postcard formats holding a 3″ CD or DVD

Besides our standard formats we can also offer special formats like panoramic cards and postcards with flap. We can come up with the right packaging for your needs.

A flap gives you more space for information and adds to the perceived value of the card. This is a nice option for invitations or christmas cards with a special present.

Instead of a groove, we can also add a perforation to the CD postcard so you can use one side as a detachable response element.

You decide which postcard format you would like to use. Of course, you may as well create a new one for example a square shaped postcard.

Many more standard and custom formats are possible. Even folders with embedded disc. Just inquire about your favorite choice.

Small disc postcard format: DIN A6 with Mini CD or DVD

Here is one example of a M4-Card® in the standard postcard format DIN A6.

It is the smallest DIN format for a postcard that holds a Mini disc: 105mm x 148mm.

Still it can hold an 8cm-CD or -DVD and the adhesive foil that attaches the CD to the postcard.

It holds an 8cm-CD or DVD as well. Size: 125mm x 176 mm.

The oversized DIN B6 XL is 125 x 235 mm, which is the largest possible postcard dimension.
