Print · Mail · Track · Nationwide
We print and mail postcards and any other form of direct mail, in whatever size, quantity and specification the job calls for, anywhere in the continental US — to your list or to every household in the neighborhoods you pick. There is very little a mailing can ask for that cannot be built. A dedicated representative stays with your job, and a written quote comes back in minutes rather than days, for up to 60% less than the big online printers charge.
Get your quote
That is all a written quote needs, whatever you are mailing. It comes back in minutes rather than days, priced for your city, with printing, mail processing and USPS postage stated separately, so you can see exactly where the savings are.
The usual two, and anything else
Most jobs order one of two cards: a 5×8.25 for offers, reminders and farming, or a 6×11 jumbo that owns the mailbox and saturates a neighborhood. Both come on heavy cover stock, full color on both sides, personalized per piece. Need something else — a letter in an envelope, a brochure, a catalog, a flat mailer, an unusual size, a short test run before you commit? It is quoted the same way.
Offers, reminders, follow-ups and farming cards with room for a photo, an offer and a map.
Jumbo cards that own the mailbox: real estate, home services, restaurants, grand openings, EDDM.
Our work
Real cards from mailings we have printed and mailed for lawn care, water treatment and dental clients. Every one went through the press, the addressing line and the USPS. Yours is built the same way: one offer, a picture that earns the mailbox, and a clear way to respond.

Why up to 60% less
Every direct mail job has three costs: printing, mail processing and postage. The big online printers roll them into one per-piece number. We quote them for your city and your job, which is why the same postcard costs up to 60% less here.
The big online printers fold printing, mail processing and postage into one per-piece number and set it at what the market will bear. We quote the three parts separately, priced for your city and your job, so the markup has nowhere to hide.
What a mailing costs depends on where it is heading, because presses, routes and capacity differ across the country. So each job is quoted for the city it is going to, instead of against one printer’s standing rate card.
The piece is built around what you are mailing and who gets it, so you are not paying for a size, a stock or a quantity that only nearly fits. A short test run, a jumbo card saturating a neighborhood and a letter in an envelope are all quoted the same way: the parts the job actually needs, priced for your city.
USPS postage is set by the Postal Service and is the same for everyone. We pass it through at the rate your mailing earns and say so on the quote.
How it works
1
What you want to mail — one of the two standard postcards, or any other size, stock or format; to a list or as EDDM to every door on a route; how many, from 1,000 up; and which city. That is enough for a written quote, priced for your city, back in minutes rather than days.
2
Send your artwork, or we design the card for you. Send your list, have one built to your criteria, or name the neighborhoods and ZIP codes to saturate. We clean the addresses and confirm the count.
3
A digital proof with the address block and indicia in place, and the written quote for your city: printing, processing, postage. Nothing prints until you say so.
4
Printed and entered on the mail date set with the partner that takes the job. Delivery scans by ZIP and day, and every response tracked to the drop that produced it.

Why direct mail
Direct mail is read because it is physical: it arrives in the hand, sits on the counter and does not get filtered. The response numbers the industry publishes bear that out.
Nationwide
One production line, every ZIP code in the continental United States, and a quote priced for the city you are mailing. The sixty largest metros each have a page on the postal geography, the businesses that mail there and what works.

The questions we get on almost every first call, with the answers we give.
It depends on the piece, the quantity, the mail class and the city it is going to, which is why we quote every job for its city instead of publishing a price list. Three things make up the cost: printing, mail processing and USPS postage. Send the size, the quantity and the city through the quote form and we send a written quote at up to 60% less than the big online printers.
The big online printers and full-service agencies fold printing, mail processing and postage into one blended per-piece price set at whatever the market bears. We place every job with a print and mail partner that suits it and quote the three costs separately for your city and your job, so the markup has nowhere to hide.
Two cards cover most jobs: a 5×8.25 inch postcard and a 6×11 inch jumbo, both on 14pt or 16pt cover stock in full color on both sides. Both mail as letter-size pieces, to your list or to every household in the neighborhoods you pick, and the 6×11 is the one we suggest for whole neighborhoods. Those two are the standard pair rather than the limit — another postcard size, or a different piece altogether, is built to order and quoted the same way.
Yes. Postcards are what the name says and what most jobs order, but the presses behind us also run letters and invitations in envelopes, brochures, flyers, catalogs and booklets, flat mailers, and pieces built around one campaign. Whatever it is, it is quoted the same way: the specification, the quantity and the city it is going to.
Yes. Orders start at 1,000 pieces. The quote is written for that quantity and up.
It starts with the mail date, and that is set to suit the job rather than picked off a published calendar: tell us when the mail needs to be out and the quote is built around a partner that can meet it. From entry, First-Class pieces arrive in one to five business days and Marketing Mail in three to ten.
Not for EDDM, which reaches every address on the carrier routes you choose, and not for saturation mail, which reaches every household in the neighborhoods and ZIP codes you pick. To mail particular people, send your own customer or prospect list, or tell us who you want to reach and we build a list to those criteria for your mailing. Either way we clean it and tell you how many pieces will mail.
EDDM, or Every Door Direct Mail, is the USPS program that delivers to every address on the carrier routes you select — no mailing list, no names, no permit of your own. The piece has to qualify as a USPS flat, which our 6×11 postcard does on length. Tell us the ZIP codes, the routes or the area you want covered and the job is quoted for those routes, printed and entered by the print partner.
No. Everything mails under the USPS permit of the partner that prints your job, with its indicia on the piece, so you never pay permit or annual mailing fees. Nonprofits with their own USPS authorization can mail under it through us to get the nonprofit rate.
Anywhere in the continental United States, with dedicated pages for the sixty largest metros. Mail is printed by the partner that takes the job and entered into the USPS network for delivery, and every job is quoted for the city it mails to.
Yes, completely. You do not need a file of your own: we write the offer and design both sides, quoted with the job. If you already have artwork, send it and we preflight it free of charge; free templates for both sizes are there too.
