Cost direct mailer
The cost of a direct mailer can vary widely depending on several factors, including:
- Number of pieces: The more pieces you want to mail, the higher the cost.
- Size and complexity of the mailer: Larger, more complex mailers with multiple inserts or special finishes (e.g., foil stamping) will be more expensive than simple, standard-sized mailers.
- Paper quality and weight: Higher-quality paper and heavier weights will increase the cost.
- Printing method: Digital printing is generally less expensive than offset printing, especially for small to medium-sized mailers.
- Mailing list: The cost of the mailing list, including data processing and list rental fees, can add to the overall cost.
- Postage: The cost of postage will depend on the weight and size of the mailer, as well as the destination zip codes.
- Additional services: Services like personalization, variable data printing, or special handling (e.g., overnight delivery) can add to the cost.
