More Suggestions for Direct Marketers

Creativity
•	The restrictions on envelope size, shape and colour which MLSS equipment places on Standard Mail might seem to hamper creativity. However, there are no such limitations for Non-Standard Mail (whether pre-sorted or non-bulk), and you can still enjoy substantial discounts with highly creative or colourful items. Our Local CourierPost offers excellent opportunities for attention-grabbing Direct Mail pieces that contain gifts or samples. Please visit this page for more about our irregular-shape DM service.
Envelope Sizes
•	When designing a Direct Mail piece, please consider that most residential mail boxes are quite small. If your item must be folded to fit into the average mailbox, some of the impact may be lost. Please click here (PDF 846KB, requires Adobe Reader.) for the detailed envelope requirements of standard mail.
Sealing
•	Please remember that Bulk Economy envelopes should be sealed to avoid processing problems.
OCR Database
•	The OCR database has been upgraded, making it compatible with most computer systems. Please contact us to find out all the information we can make available to you.
