A bulk mailer is a type of mailpiece that is designed to send a large quantity of identical mailings to a large number of recipients. It's often used by businesses, organizations, and individuals who need to send a large volume of mailings, such as:

  1. Direct mail campaigns: Sending targeted mailings to a large number of customers or prospects.
  2. Marketing materials: Sending brochures, catalogs, or other promotional materials to a large audience.
  3. Newsletters: Sending regular newsletters to subscribers or members.
  4. Fundraising appeals: Sending solicitations to a large number of donors or supporters.

Here are some key characteristics of a bulk mailer:

  1. Large quantity: Bulk mailers are designed to send a large number of mailpieces, often in the thousands or tens of thousands.
  2. Identical mailpieces: Each mailpiece is identical, with the same content, design, and address.
  3. Standardized format: Bulk mailers typically use a standardized format, such as a #10 envelope or a postcard.
  4. Low cost: Because of the large quantity, bulk mailers are often less expensive per piece than individual mailings.
  5. Efficient processing: Bulk mailers are designed to be processed quickly and efficiently by the postal service, with automated sorting and processing.

Some common types of bulk mailers include:

  1. Standard bulk mail: A standard bulk mailer is a #10 envelope with a flat, rectangular shape and a standard size.

When using a bulk mailer, it's essential to ensure that your mailpieces comply with the United States Postal Service (USPS) regulations and guidelines for bulk mailings. This includes using the correct postage, addressing the mailpieces correctly, and following the USPS's guidelines for mailpiece design and content.
