Ever tried to organize your postcards only to realize that not all postcards are of the same size? Indeed, some are larger (and they are perfect for landcape views), but what if the postcard measured 42.69 m² (459.511 ft²)? Now, that’s large!

And that’s exactly what the German city of Krefeld did: they created the world’s largest postcard and made it to the Guinness world records.

And large is not the only thing special about this postcard – it weights an impressive 300 kgs (661.386 lb)! And of course, transporting it is not for the ordinary mail carrier – a special lorry was done just to carry it.

Wondering how it looks like? Here it is:

World's Largest Postcard

Congratulations Krefeld! That’s quite impressive indeed. If you want to learn more, check this post at the guinness world records website.
