Estimating Portal
Secure a competitive direct mail quote designed to maximize campaign response rates while securing the deepest possible USPS postal discounts. Whether launching a localized Every Door Direct Mail® (EDDM) drop, a variable data postcard sequence, or a targeted business envelope mailing, submit your project parameters below to initiate a custom estimate from our Berea direct mail team.
Before submitting your campaign files for a direct mail quote, reviewing your assets against these postal guidelines helps prevent formatting delays and guarantees rapid processing:
Upload your database as a .CSV or .XLSX file. Ensure recipient names, street addresses, cities, states, and ZIP codes are separated into distinct columns.
Keep a 4″ x 2″ white space clear on the bottom right corner of the address side for automated USPS intelligent mail barcodes (IMb) and addressing.
Extend artwork background colors 0.125″ (1/8 inch) past the trim line and keep all vital text at least 0.125″ inside the quiet zone.
Submit artwork as press-optimized PDF/X files using CMYK color profiles at 300 DPI resolution.
When requesting a direct mail quote, our structured intake process ensures your creative assets and mailing data move seamlessly from estimate to pressroom:
Upon receiving your request, our technical team analyzes your artwork dimensions and runs your mailing list through initial address standardization checks to identify invalid addresses early.
Our mailing estimators calculate sheet layouts, paper stock weights, and presort options. We cross-reference your distribution list against current USPS regulations to secure the deepest automated postage discounts available.
Once proofs and estimates are approved, we handle printing, high-speed inkjet addressing, tabbing/wafer sealing, postal sorting, and direct delivery to the USPS entry facility.
