Bulk Mail Services
Bulk (large quantity) Mail Services
Bulk Mail is a general term describing large quantity mailings that can qualify for postage discounts. Please call Ryan at 797-0875 for specific question on how and what qualifies for a bulk mailing.
- Always print and send us at least 25 extra pieces of you mailing to aid us compensating for machine errors and in setting up the job.
- Non-profit and Standard class mail qualifies at the least expensive letter rates at up to 6 x 11 (vertical) x (horizontal) inches in size. Magazines and larger flat mailers also qualify for Non-profit rates. We have FREE templates to help with your design.
- No tape, staples, or small hand tabs on folded self-mailers.
- Allow at least 4 (horizontal) x 2 (vertical) inches of clear space for the address to be printed on the mail piece.
- It is advisable, though not required, to leave the bottom 5/8 inch of any mail piece clear of printing. The Post Office often uses this space for a bar code label.
- It is always a good idea to talk to us, or get approval on an anticipated bulk mailing.
- Samples of permit imprints for First Class Presort, Non-profit, and Standard mail can be obtained from Distribution.
- Samples of acceptable mailing formats.
