Mailing house

A mailing house, also known as a mail house or print and mail house, is a company that provides a range of services related to printing, mailing, and fulfillment. These services typically include:

  1. Printing: Mailing houses can print a variety of materials such as letters, envelopes, postcards, brochures, and catalogs.
  2. Mailing: They can prepare and mail these printed materials to customers, using their own mailing lists or those provided by the client.
  3. Fulfillment: Mailing houses can also provide fulfillment services, such as stuffing envelopes, inserting documents, and packaging products.
  4. Data processing: They can process and manage customer data, including data entry, data cleansing, and data analysis.
