A mailing starts with 5 key elements: the mail piece, the envelope, the data, the postal operator and the mailing house.

1. The Mail Piece:
   Our dedicated team of print experts may have already guided you through getting the mail piece exactly as you want it.  If you have sourced it elsewhere, don’t worry, we can still mail it for you.  However, if you get our team involved at an early stage, we can help ensure that you can get maximum postal discounts and that you get the right specification mail piece to work with Royal Mail's Price in Proportion scheme.
2. Envelopes:
   Once that has been decided, you next need to know whether you need paper envelopes or want to poly wrap the item with a flyer.  At this point we can make suggestions regarding envelope/flyer design so that you can achieve maximum postal discounts – and yes, we can get these printed for you as well!
3. Data:
   The next crucial element is the data that you mail to.  If it is a subscribers list, we can run it through our postcode validation program to ensure that the address is 100% accurate.  If you have purchased mailing lists, we can also append these and de-duplicate them based on your determined parameters to ensure that you are not needlessly printing and mailing items.  We will also process the mail so that it conforms to the international standards for mailing to a given country and remove any obviously inaccurate addresses, correcting where possible.
4. Postal Operator and Service:
   Finally, once all this has been done, you can choose your postal operator.  We have international contracts with both Royal Mail and Swiss Post.  For larger mailings we can do a profile mailing to utilise the various Direct Entry services that are available to us to further reduce costs.  You can even choose to use other services for UK mail, with companies offering competitive rates on downstream access and a whole host of Royal Mail products to choose from.
5. Mailing House:
   Hopefully, having got this far, you will realise that we are the best choice for the final, most important key element, the mailing house.  We have 30 years experience of international mailing and still have our original customer!  Our mailing team has achieved Royal Mail accreditations and has an excellent knowledge of what is possible and we have experienced people in all keys areas.
   
   The company has also recently invested in new equipment and software keep us at the forefront of what is possible.  We can take your mailing from printing proofs, all the way through to the point that is released to the postal operator, making sure that the quality that you expect is maintained all the way to the end.
