For the personalized letter, we’ll merge the two and print the letters with a personalized address block, salutation and throughout. We use high-speed laser printers for quality and affordability, whether you’re mailing a few letters to your prized contacts or thousands to those you’d like to make your prized customers or donors.
Would a personalized letter with a detachable response form be the perfect solution? We can insert variable data throughout and include a remittance envelope for easy return. Your payments, product orders, or fundraiser donations will be on their way back to you lickety split. Business cards, brochures, surveys, reply envelopes or other materials? Let us put the pieces together and you’ll reap the benefits. Let us know your needs and we’ll take care of the details, no problem!

We can collate your items in your specified order or nest them for insertion into mailing envelopes up to 12” x 15” or any size padded mailers or cartons. Machine collating is available for 8.5” x 11” or similar standard size items. Hand collating is available for small, oversized or odd-shaped items.
Inserting
We can insert materials into envelopes of any size or type, such as window, Tyvek, clear poly bags, Poly-lite, Stay-flat, padded, gummed, pull & seal, or self-stick flaps. Do you want to mail an invitation, greeting card, letter, booklet or catalog? How about a CD or DVD? We can also insert your materials into tubes, shipping cartons, mailers or other promotional packaging.
Sealing
We can machine-seal most letter or flat-sized envelopes. Hand sealing is available for deckled edged envelopes or for envelopes containing fragile or uneven contents. Other sealing options include: affixing wafer, embossed or specialty seals along with other postal approved adhesives such as glue-dots or strips.
In case you were wondering, electrical tape, duct tape, pre-wrap tape, athletic tape, double-sided tape, masking tape, painters tape, surgical tape, packing tape, strapping tape or staples of any kind can damage postal equipment and cannot be used to seal any discount rate mailpieces.
Tabbing
A tab (A.K.A. wafer seal) is the perfect solution for mailing brochures, self-mailers, booklets or flyers. USPS requires that these mailpieces be sealed properly to pass through their processing machinery. To achieve the best postage rates, these items must be sealed to prevent opening and damage by high-speed postal processing equipment. The weight of paper and final fold or open edge location dictates the number and placement of tabs or wafer seals.
