National Change of Address Service
NCOALink (National Change of Address) is a service whereas we match up a client provided database to the U.S. Postal service National Move File. By doing this, we are able to revise your mailing list the client back a database with the last 48 months of moves, recorded by the Postal Service.
Why use NCOA?
Two main reasons: First of all, there is a requirement by U.S. Postal service that for a mailing to be sent out at the automated postal rates it must be updated with the newest move information. NCOA is one of the ways to update a list (postal endorsements is the other). The second reason is that there is a 20% chance that someone in a household will move, every year. So using NCOA is a very inexpensive way to keep your list clean and have a higher mailing deliverability. This increases your return on investment by not wasting postage and printing costs on mailing undeliverable or returned mail pieces.
Folding, Tabbing, Stamping, & Metering
Whether your mail piece requires a simple machine letterfold , a complicated origami-style hand fold, or more likely, somewhere in between, we’ve got you covered. We have the machinery available to complete the most common folds (Half Fold, Z-Fold, Double Parallel Fold, Gatefold, etc.) as well as the ability to complete hand folds to get your job done and in the mail as soon as possible.
Our tabbing machine can seal your self-mailers or newsletters to comply with the latest postal regulations, as well as apply pre-cancelled or first class stamps.
If you prefer the look that a meter provides as opposed to a stamp, we can provide that as well. Our high-speed meter machines can get your job out the door fast!
We operate two different types of mechanical feeders, allowing us to complete many different types of projects, including personalized inserts in a fast, cost-efficient manner for our clients.
While no two projects are ever exactly alike (and some are more unique than others!) we also offer hand matching and hand inserting services in-house to give your project the care and attention it deserves, and to get it to the post office as quickly and efficiently as possible.
