The Problem With Most Mail Houses

When Mail Goes Wrong, Everything Goes Wrong

Missed Drop Dates

Your print vendor blames the mail house. The mail house blames the data vendor. Meanwhile, your campaign misses its window and your budget is gone.

Postage Overpayment

Shops without in-house presort send your mail at retail rates - or worse, outsource it and add their markup. You're paying 15-25% more than you should.

Undeliverable Mail

Bad data means bad delivery. Without NCOA and CASS processing, 8-12% of your mail goes nowhere - and you still paid to print and mail it.

The Basics

What Is a Mail House?

A mail house is a specialized facility that handles the production, processing, and delivery of large-volume mail. Unlike a regular print shop or post office, a mail house combines printing, data processing, mail preparation, and postal optimization under one operation.

Data Processing

NCOA address updates, CASS certification, deduplication, and presort optimization to qualify for discounted postage rates. Full details

Mail Preparation

Inkjet addressing, variable data personalization, tabbing, inserting, metering, bundling, traying, and USPS documentation. For multi-piece kits and hand assembly, see our fulfillment services.

Postal Entry

Direct entry at a USPS facility for the fastest possible delivery and deepest postage discounts.

Print Production

Digital color and B&W printing, variable data merge, finishing (folding, scoring, laminating), and quality control.

MPA operates as a full-service mail house from our Lakeland, FL facility. We process 10 million+ pieces annually for businesses across all 50 states. Because we handle printing and mailing in-house, there are no handoffs between vendors - your job moves from press to postal prep to USPS drop without leaving our building.

Bulk Mailing Services

When you're mailing 5,000, 50,000, or 500,000 pieces, the logistics of bulk mailing get complex fast. Postal regulations change. Address data degrades. And every inefficiency in the process costs real money at scale.

Why It Matters

The In-House Difference

Typical Multi-Vendor Setup

  • Print vendor + data vendor + mail house = 3 invoices, 3 timelines
  • Finger-pointing when something goes wrong
  • Transit time between facilities adds days
  • Markup at every handoff
  • Your data traveling between multiple systems

The MPA Way

  • One team, one timeline, one invoice
  • Single point of accountability - us
  • In-house USPS presort facility - direct postal entry
  • No middleman markup on postage
  • Your data never leaves our building

The Math

Presort Saves Real Money

Most businesses don't realize how much they're overpaying for postage. Without presort, you're paying retail rates - up to 45% more than necessary.

First-Class Retail (1 oz) $0.78/piece
Presort Marketing Mail $0.43/piece
Your Savings $0.35/piece (45%)

Example: 50,000 Piece Mailing

First-Class Retail $39,000
Presort Marketing Mail $21,500
You Save $17,500

*Based on current USPS rates. Actual savings depend on mail class, volume, and list quality. See our complete postcard mailing cost guide for detailed pricing.

One Vendor, One Timeline

Print and Mail Services Under One Roof

Most businesses cobble together separate vendors for printing, data processing, and mailing. That means three timelines, three invoices, and three opportunities for something to go wrong. MPA eliminates that complexity. We're a print and mail house - meaning design, digital printing, data processing, mail preparation, and USPS entry all happen in our facility in Lakeland, FL.

Speed

Your print job walks 20 feet from press to mail prep, not 3 days in transit between facilities. Standard turnaround is 5 business days from approved files to postal drop.

Accuracy

The same team that prints your mail pieces handles addressing and postal prep. No data translation errors between systems.

Cost

One vendor means one margin. No markup stacking between a print shop, a data vendor, and a mail house.

Accountability

When your deadline is Thursday, there's nobody to blame but us. And we don't miss deadlines - we've processed 10 million+ pieces annually since 1989.

Print Capabilities

Production digital printing on Xerox Iridesse presses with specialty finishes (metallic, clear, white toner). Variable data personalization, plus offset capability for longer runs. Postcards to catalogs.

Mail Capabilities

Questions

Direct Mail FAQs

First-Class presort mail delivers in 2-5 days and includes return service for undeliverable pieces. Marketing Mail delivers in 5-14 days at lower postage rates but doesn't include automatic return service. First-Class is best for time-sensitive mail; Standard is best for marketing campaigns where cost matters more than speed.

Presort mail can save 10-25% on postage compared to single-piece rates. For a 50,000-piece mailing, that's typically $3,000-7,500 in savings. The exact discount depends on mail class, volume, and how well your list is sorted by ZIP code.

EDDM (Every Door Direct Mail) delivers to every address on selected postal carrier routes - no mailing list required. At ~$0.26/piece postage, it's the cheapest way to reach local neighborhoods. Use EDDM for grand openings, local service businesses, restaurants, and saturation campaigns where you want to reach everyone in an area. For a full breakdown of postcard costs including printing and postage, see our postcard pricing guide.

Yes. We source targeted consumer and business mailing lists based on demographics, geography, purchasing behavior, and hundreds of other selects. Lists are run through NCOA (National Change of Address) and CASS certification to ensure deliverability.

Variable data printing personalizes each mail piece with unique text, images, or offers based on recipient data. For example, showing different products based on past purchases, or including the recipient's name and local store address. Personalized mail typically sees 30-50% higher response rates than generic mail.

Standard turnaround is 5-7 business days from approved files to postal drop. Rush service (24-48 hours) is available for time-sensitive campaigns. This includes data processing, printing, and mail preparation. Delivery time after postal drop depends on mail class: 2-5 days for First-Class, 5-14 days for Marketing Mail.

For presort mail, the USPS minimum is 500 pieces for First-Class and 200 pieces for Marketing Mail. For EDDM, the minimum is 200 pieces per carrier route (or 200 total for BMEU entry). We have no internal minimums - if USPS accepts it, we'll mail it.

Our facility is at 430 N Wabash Ave, Lakeland, FL 33815 - right between Tampa and Orlando on the I-4 corridor. We serve businesses throughout Central Florida with local pickup and delivery, and handle jobs nationally via digital file transfer and shipping.

Yes. While our facility is in Lakeland, FL, we work with businesses in all 50 states. You send us your files and mailing list digitally, we handle everything from printing through postal drop. Many of our largest clients are based outside Florida - direct mail is a national service that doesn't require you to be local.

A mail house is a facility that specializes in preparing and processing large volumes of mail for delivery. Services typically include address verification (NCOA/CASS), presort optimization for postage discounts, inkjet addressing, tabbing, inserting, bundling, and USPS entry. MPA operates as a full-service mail house in Lakeland, FL, processing 10 million+ pieces annually.

Bulk mailing services cover the full workflow from data to delivery: data processing (NCOA, CASS, deduplication), presort optimization for maximum postage discounts, variable data personalization, inkjet addressing, mail preparation (tabbing, inserting, bundling, traying), and direct USPS entry. MPA handles volumes from 200 to 500,000+ pieces per mailing.

Using separate vendors for printing, data processing, and mailing means three timelines, three invoices, and finger-pointing when something goes wrong. A combined print and mail service like MPA handles everything in one facility - your job goes from press to mail prep to USPS drop without transit time or data handoff errors. It's faster, cheaper, and more reliable.
