In-House Mailing

New Mailing Equipment Provides More Firepower – With demand high for our direct mail services, Interprint has installed an additional mailing line to ensure fast project turn times for products that mail via the USPS. “Last year we increased our production hours in our mailing facility, but still needed more fire power” states Scott Morten, President and Co-Owner of Interprint Web Printing. “We decided to bring in additional equipment and add onto our current mailing facility.
This was to position ourselves where we could provide faster turn times, which direct mailers must have during time sensitive mailing campaigns. Direct mail out-pulled other channels in terms of conversion rates, and also enjoys longer shelf life than email, so we understood our customers strong desire to use direct mail in their marketing mix.” Installation was completed this past Spring, and is now in full operation.

▪️Inkjet Addressing
▪️In-Line Tabbing
▪️CASS Certification
▪️NCOA Updates
▪️Mailing List Procurement
