EDDM Mailing Services

USPS EDDM postage runs approximately $0.247 per piece. On top of that, printing costs $0.14-0.22 per piece depending on postcard size and paper stock, and mail preparation (bundling, facing slips, tray labels) adds about $0.035 per piece. That puts your total all-in cost at roughly $0.44-0.55 per piece for most campaigns. A typical 5,000-piece EDDM campaign runs $2,200-2,750 including postage, printing, and mail prep. Route planning assistance is included at no extra charge. No hidden fees, no setup costs - what we quote is what you pay.

Full turnkey service from start to finish. That includes route selection assistance (or use our free EDDM route planner), design review for USPS compliance, full-color printing on commercial presses (Xerox Iridesse), USPS-compliant mail preparation and bundling, and delivery to the post office via our BMEU. We also handle all facing slips, tray labels, and USPS paperwork. One vendor, one invoice - no coordinating between a printer, a mail house, and a delivery service.

Standard turnaround is 5-7 business days from approved artwork to postal drop. Rush production is available in 24-48 hours for time-sensitive campaigns like political mailers, grand openings, and event promotions. After we drop your mail at the post office, USPS typically delivers within 3-14 business days. Total timeline from files to mailboxes: usually 2-3 weeks. Need it faster?

Yes. Our design team creates EDDM-ready artwork that meets all USPS size and indicia requirements. Design is included with print orders over 2,500 pieces, or available as a standalone service. We can work from your existing brand assets, templates, or start from scratch. Every design is proofed before printing so you see exactly what your recipients will get in the mailbox.

USPS requires a minimum of 200 pieces per carrier route for EDDM Retail. Most carrier routes have 200-800 addresses, so a single route meets the minimum. We recommend starting with at least 1,000-2,500 pieces (3-5 routes) to get meaningful response data from your campaign. There is no maximum - we handle campaigns from 500 to 500,000+ pieces through our BMEU. Start small, measure your response rate, and scale up the routes that perform.

EDDM doesn't use mailing lists - that's the whole point. You select carrier routes (neighborhoods) and USPS delivers to every address on those routes. No list to buy, no addresses to process. If you want to target specific people by name and address, that's targeted direct mail, which we also offer through our print and mail services. Many of our clients use both: EDDM for neighborhood saturation and targeted mail for their customer or prospect lists.

Yes. We run EDDM campaigns for restaurants (menu mailers, grand openings), real estate (just-listed/sold, farming), dental and medical practices (new patient offers), home services (HVAC, plumbing, roofing), political campaigns (voter outreach), and retail (seasonal promotions). Each industry has different best practices for design, offer structure, and route selection - our team helps optimize for your specific market.

Every piece we mail includes an Intelligent Mail Barcode (IMb) that enables USPS tracking through their mail stream. We provide delivery confirmation showing when your mail enters the postal system and reaches destination facilities. For campaigns requiring tighter tracking, we can set up Informed Visibility scans. Most EDDM deliveries complete within 3-14 business days after postal drop.
