M-Bag postal services
Low cost, reliable delivery of heavier weight mail.
If you have a need to send over two kilos of mail to one destination or you have a lot of mail going to one client on a regular basis then our M-Bag service is a very cost effective option.M-Bags are a way of shipping all mail for one location in a sealed and secure specific bag, therefore all mail is delivered at the same time and in good condition.
Normal international mail is designed for up to two kilos per piece, with M-Bags you can place as much mail as you can for one address into our specifically designed bags with a weight limit of 25 kilos. M-Bags are individually priced and are much more cost effective, as there are lower sortation and delivery costs.
Good examples of when M-Bags are an excellent cost effective solution include:
- Sending a company newsletter.
- Sending payroll information.
- Sending a company magazine.
- Sending a heavy catalogue.
- Sending a heavy directory.
Basically when you are trying to reach a large number of people all at one address, or have heavyweight mail pieces to send.
We are approved by the Mail Consolidators Association (MCA) and by IMDAS, the International Mail Distribution Accreditation Scheme. In fact our CEO was Chairman of the Mail Consolidators Association for 3 years, and we were founding members of IMDAS!
