Folding and Scoring

• Typically folded only (no scoring)
• Exception:  If the file has dark solid backgrounds or heavy ink coverage (for example: rich black or dark backgrounds), we recommend scoring the paper before folding it to avoid visible paper cracking

• Requires scoring (creating the crease line for easy folding) before folding to avoid paper cracking
• Choose to have us score only (you fold manually) or both score and fold by machine 

Direct mail or bulk mail is mailing a print product (postcards, flyers, brochures, catalogs, newsletters, etc.) to a large group of potential clients or customers at one time. With our professional mailing software, we can presort the list so that you can qualify for US Postal Office’s discounted postal rates for presorted and automated mail, at least 200 or more pieces mailed at one time.

Bulk Mailing services includes:

• presorting the list so that you can get the best postage rates
• imprinting the addresses and barcodes on the postcard so you save time
• delivery to the post office so you save gas and time

Bulk mailing services DOES NOT include postage, which will be calculated once the postcards enter the mailing process. Postage is for post office fees and must be paid by check or bank deposit online.

To qualify for USPS discounted postal rates, letter-size brochures must have wafer seals or circular stickers that close the folded brochure so that it doesn’t open in the mailing machines.
