Postcards

Order MODEX 2020 Postcards

The MODEX 2020 postcard is designed as a self-mailer. You won’t need an envelope, just a mailing label and a postage stamp or meter mark. However, MHI also offers free 6”x9” MODEX 2020 envelopes to exhibitors. They’re ideal if you want to personalize your mailing with a cover letter, flyer or promotional item. These postcard mailers are pre-printed and are not customizable.
