A format for every kind of message

Find your starting point

Four ways to put a message in the mail.

The right option depends on what you need to say, how you want it presented, and who you need to reach. Start with the job the piece needs to do.

Open and immediate

Postcards

A direct format for a concise message, announcement, or invitation. Artwork and dimensions can be planned alongside the mailing and postage requirements.

A more personal read

Letters & envelopes

When the message calls for a letter or enclosed materials, envelope preparation and personalization can be part of the production plan.

More room to unfold

Folded self-mailers

A folded piece can organize a message across panels without an envelope. Plan the artwork, folds, addressing, and mailing details together.

Reach by geography

EDDM

Every Door Direct Mail is an option to discuss when reaching a selected delivery area matters more than mailing to a named list.

01

List processing

Bring your mailing list or discuss the list preparation involved in your project.

02

Personalization

Consider whether recipient-specific details belong in the piece and how they fit the production plan.

03

Printing and preparation

Coordinate the selected format and its specifications with print production and mailing requirements.

04

Postage and fulfillment

Plan the postage preparation and fulfillment steps needed to move the completed piece into the mail.

A simple comparison

Compare by the job to be done.

Use these prompts to decide what to discuss—not as a substitute for confirming your mailing specifications.
