Guide
Everything You Need to Know About Direct Mail Letters
Considering a postcard campaign? This guide is for you. Get details from the experts on everything from sizing and layout options to USPS regulations.
Data Intake and Mapping
Every program starts with getting your data right. Files come in through encrypted transfer, run through our intake process, and get mapped to the production specs of your job. Address validation, formatting checks, and field-level verification happen up front so nothing problematic moves downstream.
List Creation
Targeted mail starts with a clean, accurate list. Our team builds and maintains audience lists, applies suppression and deduplication rules, and keeps records updated through every cycle. The result is targeting that holds up across campaigns and recurring programs.
Design and Layout
From templates to one-off creative, our design team prepares production-ready files built around your brand standards and postal specs. Files are tested for press performance, color fidelity, and USPS compliance before anything moves into production.
Personalization & Variable Data Printing
Variable data printing applies account-specific information to every piece of mail, from balances and policy details to offers and recipient-level content. Our team manages the logic, versioning, and merge processing so personalization holds up at any volume.
Printing
High-speed digital and offset presses run in our facility, scheduled and verified by the same team that owns the rest of your program. Press checks, color management, and in-run quality verification happen on every job, no matter the run length.
Envelope Conversion
Custom envelopes are manufactured on-site for projects that require specific sizes, windows, or security features. Bringing this in-house keeps timelines tight and gives your program a single point of accountability for materials and production.
Mailing
Once printed, mail moves directly from production to postal preparation. Presort optimization, postal logistics, and USPS handoff happen on our floor, which keeps custody intact from press to post and shortens the path to in-home dates.
USPS Verification
On-site postal verification confirms every piece meets USPS standards before it enters the mail stream. Address validation, barcoding, and compliance checks happen in our facility, which prevents the rework, delays, and rejections that come with off-site verification.
On-Site Custom Envelope Manufacturing
mailing.com manufactures custom envelopes in the same facility where your mail is printed and assembled. Production turnaround is measured in days, and there is no third-party markup built into the cost.
mailing.com is our main print vendor. This team produces great results for us, and our clients’ mailed newsletters are perfect every time. I recommend them to anyone. Their customer service is above and beyond too. We always have a live person to communicate with who gets us answers right away.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pieces can I insert into my envelope?
As many as you want really, but you may pay higher postage if you go overweight. Our partners average 3 inserts plus the outer envelope. The biggest factor in deciding how many pieces you can insert is the final weight of the envelope plus all components. To qualify for the lowest postage rates, it needs to be 3.5 oz or less for Automated rates, and 4.0 oz or less for Enhanced Carrier Route rates.
How custom can I make my envelopes?
As custom as you want! You can choose your size, how many colors you want including full-bleed, messaging, and even a die-cut. We do it all in-house too! We’ll also make sure it meets USPS requirements.
Is there a minimum or maximum quantity I can print & mail with you?
Since we specialize in high-volume printing and mailing, jobs under 2,000 pieces may be charged minimums. For large quantities, there is no maximum!
