At least the right-hand half of space on the front must be spared for writing the recipient's address, affixing a postage stamp, imprinting the date stamp and any postal service instructions and labels.
Thus the message can be written in all space on the left of the address side and on the back of the card.

It is produced in multiple, identical copies by means of printing, any other recognized printing processes.
The consideration as to whether the items are printed matter or not is at the discretion of the CAT.
