What we do

Our main activity is direct mail services – we provide a full service (but we do not provide door-to-door distribution). What we do is provide envelope enclosing, boxing, or polywrapping for a variety of mailings and submit the assembled/finished mailings to the post office.

Postage will also depend on how much prep work we do before final submission to post office. To get the best deal on postage, we bundle our clients’ mailings by hubs and sort by postal code. The post office offers discounts when these things are done in advance. We then pack the mailings into postal crates and deliver them to the post office.

We offer a supplementary bookbinding service, mainly affixing, mounting and sealing, folding printed matter, assembling promotional items and boxes, paper drilling, a variety of packaging, and all jobs the machines can’t handle where human assistance is necessary.
