Why Austin Campaigns Print With Rapid Color

Austin is the capital of Texas and the political and lobbying center of the second-largest state in the country. The Capitol, the legislature, the state parties, and a fast-growing group of consultants and public-affairs firms all work here. With a huge electorate and a political map that keeps shifting, campaign mail stays in demand across the Austin market.

Rapid Color is a national printer, and we do every job ourselves — no brokering, no outsourcing. Your persuasion postcards, GOTV mail, fundraising appeals, and legislative-issue pieces run on our own HP Indigo digital presses and Komori HUV offset press. Then they ship direct to your office downtown, your firm near the Capitol, or a mail house anywhere in Central Texas.

What You Get When You Work With Us

Six things Austin campaigns and committees count on when they hand us a postcard job.

🏭

Everything Under One Roof

Digital presses, HUV offset, finishing, mailing, fulfillment — it’s all in our building. Your Austin job never gets handed off to a third party, so there’s no middle-man and no surprise delay.

🎨

Color That Actually Matches

We’re G7-certified, so color is measured, not guessed. If your Austin program mails in waves, the last drop looks just like the first.

We Run Around the Clock

Campaign deadlines don’t move, so we don’t stop. Same-day and next-day production is available on most postcard formats — handy for tight Austin drops and final-week GOTV mail.

We Handle the Mail Too

EDDM or a targeted voter file — we take it from artwork to mailbox. List and route selection, printing, postage, and the USPS drop-off for any Austin-area ZIP.

🏆

We’ve Done This a While

Family-owned since 1989. Three-plus decades of commercial and political printing means we’ve seen the Austin deadline you’re worried about, and we know how to hit it.

Fast Shipping, Tracked

Most Austin-area addresses are a one- to two-day shipment. We send it straight to your campaign office, consultant, or lettershop, and every order has tracking.

Political Mail for the Austin Market

As the seat of Texas government, Austin turns out a steady flow of political and public-affairs mail. We print for legislative and statewide campaigns, the state party committees, Travis County and city races, judicial campaigns, and the lobbying and association community that works the Capitol. The booming Central Texas electorate keeps persuasion and turnout mail moving.

We ship across the metro — Downtown and the Capitol district, South Congress, East Austin, Hyde Park, plus Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, and the surrounding Central Texas communities. Campaign office, public-affairs firm, or lettershop dock — your postcards arrive ready to drop.

A Few Austin Jobs, Start to Finish

Real-world examples of how Austin campaigns and committees put our postcards to work.

Legislative Race

Persuasion Mail for a Texas House District

A legislative campaign needed a persuasion series aimed at a competitive Travis County district.

We built it with variable-data targeting and shipped it straight to their lettershop.

Result: full series delivered on one in-home window
Municipal Race

Voter Mail for a City Council Campaign

A city campaign needed color-accurate postcards sent across fast-growing Austin precincts.

Our G7 calibration kept their colors matched through reorders.

Result: consistent color the whole campaign
GOTV

Final-Week Turnout Postcards

A county campaign needed GOTV postcards printed and dropped in the final week of the cycle.

Rush production and direct-to-lettershop shipping made the deadline.

Result: GOTV piece dropped on schedule

Austin Political Postcard Printing — Common Questions

The things Austin campaigns and committees ask us most.

How fast can you ship political postcards to Austin?
Standard orders ship 3 to 5 business days after you approve the proof, then reach Austin-area addresses in another 1 to 2 days. For tight deadlines and final-week GOTV drops, we run 24-hour rush production with overnight shipping. Call (702) 792-6055 and we’ll check timing against your mail date.
Can you ship straight to an Austin mail house or campaign office?
Yes. We regularly ship finished postcards directly to mail houses, lettershops, and campaign or committee offices around Austin and Central Texas. Give us the address and your in-home window, and we’ll time production so the cards arrive before your drop.
Which Austin-area ZIP codes can you target for EDDM and voter mail?
Any of them. We handle Every Door Direct Mail and targeted voter-file mailings for every Austin-area ZIP — Downtown, South Congress, East Austin, Hyde Park, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville — and Travis County as a whole. We manage list and route selection, printing, postage, and the USPS drop-off.
Can you match our exact campaign colors on every reorder?
Yes. We’re G7-certified, which is a fancy way of saying our color is measured and calibrated, not eyeballed. For Austin campaigns that mail in waves, that means your postcards look the same on the last drop as they did on the first.
Do you print disclaimer-compliant postcards for Texas?
Yes. We place the “paid for by” disclaimer and any other required attribution clearly on the artwork. You’re responsible for the exact wording under federal and Texas rules — we make sure it’s legible, in the right spot, and prints cleanly on every card.
What artwork files do you accept?
Print-ready PDF works best, and we also take Illustrator (AI), Photoshop (PSD), and InDesign files. No finished artwork yet? Our design team can build your Austin postcard from a brief. Either way you’ll get a digital proof to sign off on before anything prints.
Do you have a print shop in Austin?
No — we’re a national printer based in Las Vegas, and we’ve been at it since 1989. There’s no storefront in Austin. Every postcard is printed in-house on our HP Indigo digital presses and Komori offset press, then shipped fast to your Austin campaign office, consultant, or mail house.
