MORE INFORMATION ABOUT OUR MAILING AND POSTCARD PRINTING SERVICES

When we print and mail your cards, we use state of the art printing technology and go through a number of steps to help ensure a high rate of deliverable mail.

Our Printing Process

We will print your order on our 7 color capable Indigo Digital Press. The digital press also allows us to print your mail pieces and address them at the same time. The print quality of cards off the digital press is consistent with the quality on an offset press and the addressing far exceeds the quality of typical mail house inkjet addressing.

CASS Certifying Your Mail

We make sure your addresses exist in the Postal Services national database of addresses. This software corrects any obvious mistakes in the address and appends the 4 digit zip code and barcode. For any mailings that are going out Standard Class, all addresses must be CASS certified and we will exclude non-CASS certified addresses. For First Class mailings we will include non-CASS certified addresses that look to be deliverable - this is a judgment call that we make on your behalf and you can request a list of non-mailed addresses.

Deleting Duplicates

Next we delete any duplicates in your list. For both businesses and residential mailings, we delete any close matches between First Name, Last Name and Address. This means that a husband and wife or roommates at the same address will each get a mailing. You can request to have us mail only one postcard per household.

We offer NCOA Address Verification

Finally, we will run your list against the Postal Services National Change Of Address database to update any movers in your database. You can accept the changes or request to have any households that have moved outside of you trade area to be deleted.

MAILING OPTIONS – Standard vs. First Class Postage

First Class Mail

The Postal Service standard for First Class Mailings is 1 to 3 days. We recommend that you send any dated materials First Class: limited time offers, invitations, trade show mailings, sales, etc. Our mailings originate from Atlanta, GA.  The minimum mailing using an indicia is 500 pieces. Smaller mailings will require hand stamping.

Standard Class Mail

The Postal Service standard for Standard Class Mailings is 2-10 days.  The Postal Service does not guarantee delivery in that time and they do not track or publish delivery statistics. First Class mailings always take precedence over Standard Class mailings so that if there is a lot of First class mail, Standard Class mailings can sit on the dock. We are not responsible for dated materials mailed Standard Class. The minimum mailing for Standard Mail is 250 pieces. 

Non Profit Mail

In some cases, we can mail your non profit mail on your behalf. All non profit mail is sent using Standard Mail and you should ensure that your account is properly funded to cover your anticipated postage.
