DESIGN: From single piece layout to entire direct marketing campaigns, MAILTROPOLIS can help you achieve your goals and stay within budget. Using in-house capabilities as well as our relationships with extremely talented business partners, MAILTROPOLIS can help you bring your project in on target, on time and on budget.

PRINTING: MAILTROPOLIS can provide quick turnaround of high quality printed matter. From postcards and self mailers, to collated booklets and brochures, MAILTROPOLIS can typically turn around the most job within 3 to 5 business days after approval of proof. Expedited services are available for a nominal fee.

HIGH SPEED INKJET ADDRESSING: MAILTROPOLIS' high-speed ink-jet addressing systems print your client's address data directly onto the mail piece. In addition, we can also ink-jet postal permits, return addresses, special messages, and simple bitmap graphics.

INTELLIGENT MAIL BARCODES: Finally, the USPS has created a way to track your mailings. The New Intelligent Mail Barcode will allow MAILTROPOLIS to track your mailing through the maze of the USPS to let you know exactly when it will be delivered. Mandatory in 2010 for all mail, MAILTROPOLIS will offer this service beginning January 1, 2009.

TABBING: Tabs, (a.k.a. wafer seals), are the small round stickers used to keep self-mailers closed. In order to receive the lowest possible postage rate, certain pieces must be tabbed. The number and location of tabs is dependent upon the specifics of the mail piece. Additionally, special, attention-getting stickers, such as “Post It” notes can be applied automatically.

INSERTING: Our high-speed inserters can insert up to six different pieces into one envelope. An insert can be one or more single letters, flyers, brochures, cards, reply envelopes etc. We can insert most commercial flap envelopes from a simple #10 up to a 6" x 9" booklet style envelope.

LETTERSHOP SERVICES: One of the most effective and thereby fastest growing areas in direct mail is variable data. In this format, the recipient's name and address as well as a myriad of other personalized information, obtained through specialty mailing lists or internally generated data, is systematically inserted into the body of a letter or other advertisement. The effect is a highly personalized and highly effective direct mail piece targeted to each individual in a mass mailing. Be it color or black and white, MAILTROPOLIS can help design the piece and the mailing list/database criteria necessary to maximize your effective application of this medium.
