Collating materials
Letters, leaflets or small products — we agree what goes in each envelope and how many items make up the pack.
BUSINESS CORRESPONDENCE PACKINGPacking and fulfilment.
Packing and fulfilment.
Materials ready to send.
Packing and fulfilment means collating materials and inserting them into envelopes. Let us prepare your correspondence, from packing to addressing and preparing for posting, as agreed.
- Packing larger batches
- A service tailored to the contents
- An individual quotation before production
LESS WORK FOR YOUR TEAM
Let us prepare your envelopes
There is no need to organise packing in-house. We will agree the contents and choose a process to suit your materials, envelopes and quantity.
Envelope inserting
We handle mailing and padded envelopes. The packing method depends on the size, thickness and type of contents.
Individual addressing
Each envelope can go to a different recipient. We prepare addressing to the agreed layout using the data you provide.
Preparing for posting
We can combine packing with bulk mailing preparation. Scope and timing are agreed before production.

BEFORE SENDING AN ENQUIRY
Frequently asked questions
How does packing differ from a direct mail service?
Packing covers preparing and inserting the contents. A complete direct mail service can also include envelopes, printing, addressing and bulk posting. We agree the scope of both services individually.
Can I supply my own materials and envelopes?
Tell us what you have ready. We will agree the materials' suitability, envelope specifications and delivery method before production.
Can all materials be machine inserted?
The packing method depends on envelope size and the dimensions, thickness and type of contents. Describe the materials and number of inserts. We will confirm machine suitability for your project.
What determines the price?
Quantity, number of inserts, their type and size, and additional work such as addressing or preparing for posting.
What are the minimum quantity and production lead time?
Tell us the planned number of envelopes and date. We will confirm availability and timing once we know the materials and scope.
Can you also address and post the items?
Yes, we can combine packing with addressing and bulk mailing preparation. Include this in your enquiry. Do not paste recipient data into the form; we will agree how to transfer the list separately.
