Sending out postcards? There are things you need to know before heading out to have them printed out! USPS requires that you follow a certain layout for the mailing side of any self mailers. Just check the requirements and your option below:
Design Guideline
Secure delivery by following this layout. Following this guideline helps make the process faster. Other than the design guideline, take note of your options as well.
First Class Mail vs. Standard Bulk
For urgent mails, you should go for First Class Mail. They are usually received within 3-5 business days. On the other hand, if you are not in a rush, send them out through Standard Bulk. They are usually received within 5-14 business days. Also, the rate for Standard Bulk is cheaper.
NCOA vs. OCO
It is very common that customers relocate. This means that there is always the possibility that addresses on your mailing list will not match that of your customers' current addresses.
To lessen non-deliveries, you can choose either to have your mailing list updated or just have your cards delivered as is.
The first option, NCOA or National Change of Address, is the process of updating the client's mailing list based on the postal record of those who filed a change of address. It will allow us to deliver your cards to your customers' new addresses. This option is necessary if the greeting cards you are sending out have been customized for a particular set of consumers. The second option, on the other hand, OCO (Or current Occupant), allows us to print “Or Current Occupant” under the delivery name. Your greeting cards will sent to the delivery address regardless of who the occupant is. This option is good for businesses who are in search of new customers.
We also offer split shipping. If you choose to pay for this service, we will deliver unsent greeting cards or a certain portion of the total percentage of prints back to you. This option is great to save the unsent prints or for instances when you want to hand deliver them yourself.
