Postcards come as either semi-gloss or matte as you prefer. There is no difference in price. A matte paper will print softer and more subtle. Zazzle’s postcard size is 4.25 x 5.6, which is accepted by the US postal service as postcard size, which means a lower postcard postage stamp can be used to mail.
