Mail Services Can Put Your Addresses on Paper

Mail Services high-speed inkjet printer is our most cost-effective method for addressing your mailings. It's the final step of Mail Services' automated workflow, which begins with your file upload. After handling all the processes necessary to obtain the best possible postage discounts through postal automation, we spray the addresses and complete delivery point barcodes directly on each mail piece.

You Can Inkjet More Than Addresses
Our inkjet machine has two print heads that can be moved to any part of the mail piece. This means that we can print an indicia, a return address, or service endorsements while we are running your address database. It also gives you the flexibility to add graphics or special messages and is available in several standard colors.

Think Big With Inkjetting
The maximum size of a mail piece that can be inkjetted is 17" in length by 16.5" in width by 1" thick.

Tabbing
According to USPS regulations, folded letter-size mail pieces and most self-mailers (pieces not in envelopes) prepared to meet automation standards must be secured (tabbed) to prevent an open edge from jamming high-speed processing equipment (for regulations and placement of tabs and wafer seals, see USPS Quick Service Guide 201b). Tabs can be placed on self-mailers while the address database is being printed.

Self-Adhesive Labels
Self-adhesive labels can be applied using a labeler or by hand. These options are slower and less cost-effective than using a high-speed inkjet printer, but allow us to complete your project when mailpieces have a protective varnish coating or addresses are not available in a data format.

To take advantage of the many benefits postal automation offers, contact Print Copy Mail in advance of your project for advice regarding the addressing and mailing solution that is best for you.
