Question 1

What types of mail can I send with Thanks.io?

Accepted Answer

Thanks.io supports five mailer types: Postcards (4×6, 6×9, 6×11) — the most popular format for automated outreach; Letters (Windowed and Windowless) — ideal for formal correspondence, multi-page content, or PDF-only mode for newsletters; Notecards (5×4 folded) — premium, high-authenticity format that ships with a real stamp; Gift Cards — branded gift cards from 100+ brands, shipped with real stamps and redeemable by QR scan; and MagnaCards (6×9) — pop-out fridge magnets for long-term brand visibility.

Question 2

What postcard sizes does Thanks.io support?

Accepted Answer

Thanks.io offers three postcard sizes: 4×6 (standard postcard, lowest per-piece cost), 6×9 (mid-size, higher visual impact), and 6×11 (large format, maximum attention and design space). All sizes support full-bleed design via Canva integration, custom imagery, QR codes, and handwritten-style messaging on the back.

Question 3

What makes Thanks.io notecards special?

Accepted Answer

Notecards are a 5×4 folded format that ship with a real stamp (not a metered label), making them look like a personal card from someone you know. The inside is printed with your handwritten-style message. The combination of a folded format and real stamp creates the highest-authenticity feel of any Thanks.io mailer — ideal for high-value relationship touchpoints.

Question 4

Can I send gift cards with Thanks.io?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Thanks.io gift cards feature a real stamp and let you send branded gift cards from 100+ well-known brands. Recipients redeem the card by scanning a QR code. This is popular for client appreciation, sales incentives, and referral rewards — because a physical gift card in the mail has dramatically higher perceived value than an emailed digital gift card.

Question 5

What is a MagnaCard?

Accepted Answer

A MagnaCard is a 6×9 mail piece with a pop-out magnet that recipients can stick on their refrigerator or any metal surface. It combines the reach of a postcard with long-term brand exposure — your logo and phone number stay visible on the fridge for months. MagnaCards support QR codes, handwriting, and all standard personalization features.

Question 6

Do all mailer types support handwriting and QR codes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Thanks.io mailer type — postcards, letters, notecards, gift cards, and MagnaCards — supports the proprietary handwriting engine (including AI Fonts and Realism Mode), dynamic QR codes with per-recipient URLs, and per-recipient personalization variables. Letters also support multi-page sends, PDF-only mode for newsletters, and optional letterhead.
