How long does it take for plastic postcards and direct mailers to arrive in homes?

The process of building and executing a campaign typically takes 1 to 1½ weeks. Once completed, the post office takes 4 to 10 days to deliver mailers to homes. Allowing 2 to 3 weeks is a good guideline. Orders over 25,000 pieces or mailers with extra features such as scratch-offs or magnetic stripes require additional production time.

Can I use the term Gift Card even though this is really a coupon?

Dynamicard distributes promotional plastic gift cards. These differ from purchased gift cards because no cash was paid for them. According to the California Department of Consumer Affairs, gift card laws do not apply to promotional gifts or items given away for charitable purposes or perishable foods.
