Sincerely is the maker of Postagram, which lets users print and mail out Instagram photographs for $0.99 per card.

Users in Facebook’s tester group for the feature will see a “Mail Postcard” button at the bottom of photos they’re viewing. Currently, users can mail their own private photos to friends, but not public photos or photos from Facebook Pages.

Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) may also eventually integrate the feature with the services of a mobile social gifting app Karma, a startup it recently acquired.
