Ready-to-Mail Art Kit for Artists Who Share Their Work Through Mail

The Ready-to-Mail Art Kit is a small-batch production service created for artists who use mail art, swaps, and subscriptions to share their work but don’t want to handle printing, cutting, and assembly themselves.

This Ready-to-Mail Art Kit allows you to turn one finished artwork into a set of physical postcard kits that are printed, assembled, and prepared for mailing. You focus on creating and connecting. Production is handled for you.

This product is designed for artists who already participate in swaps, run mail art projects, or manage their own mail-based subscriptions and want a repeatable, low-stress way to produce physical mail pieces.

What’s Included in Each Ready-to-Mail Art Kit

Each Ready-to-Mail Art Kit includes the following components:

• Printed 4×6 postcard [14pt 300gsm glossy paper] featuring your artwork 
• Matching envelope [white A7  5.25×7.25]
• Simple printed insert letter using a clean template [printed on 100% cotton paper]
• Sticker [glossy sticker paper with photo print quality]
• Stamp

All kits are shipped directly to you so you can mail them to subscribers, collectors, or swap partners on your own schedule.

How the Ready-to-Mail Art Kit Works

The process is intentionally simple and predictable.

• Choose your quantity (25, 50, 75, or 100 kits)
• Upload one artwork file during checkout
• Review and approve one digital proof
• Receive your assembled Ready-to-Mail Art Kits

This keeps production manageable for both artist and printer while maintaining consistent quality.

Who the Ready-to-Mail Art Kit Is For

This Ready-to-Mail Art Kit is a good fit if you:

• Run a mail art club or subscription
• Participate in postcard swaps or exchanges
• Sell or share art through the mail
• Want small-batch production without large print shops
• Prefer working artist-to-artist

If you create ATC or small format artwork, you may also want to explore printed formats that pair well with mail projects. You can view related options in the ATC category here:

Why Choose a Ready-to-Mail Art Kit Instead of DIY Printing

Printing, trimming, assembling, and sourcing materials takes time. The Ready-to-Mail Art Kit allows artists to keep mail art enjoyable instead of overwhelming.

The Ready-to-Mail Art Kit is produced in small batches to maintain consistency and quality. Each run is printed, assembled, and packed as a single production cycle. This allows artists to plan swaps, releases, or mail schedules without worrying about fluctuating materials or mismatched pieces.

Because this Ready-to-Mail Art Kit is designed as a repeatable studio tool, artists can reorder the same format whenever they need another batch. This keeps mail-based projects simple, organized, and sustainable over time.
