Postal Services - Bulk Mail Services
Bulk Mail Services will be closing down June 1, 2013, see attached memo.
Bulk Mail Services can help by preparing your mailing to move faster and more efficiently through the United States Postal Services (USPS) system.
Bulk Mail is the term applied to mailings of 200 pieces or more that are sent at a discounted rate, allowing The University of Arizona and departments to save a significant amount of money.
Mailings must meet a number of design and processing elements to qualify for bulk mail rates set forth by the USPS. Bulk Mail Services and USPS can help you meet these requirements.
Bulk Mail Services is equipped with an Ink Jet system for addressing, barcoding and applying the Indicia directly onto newsletters, brochures, and envelopes.
We use Bulk Mailer 5 for our Mail List Processing. This software is approved by the USPS to standardize and update your address list with the proper format and correct ZIP+4 information. Our software is updated by-monthly to ensure accurate information.
Other Available Services:
- Folding
- Inserting (Envelope Stuffing)
- Tabbing
Please call Bulk Mail Services with any questions at 621-9522.
