Catalogue mailings and catalogue request fulfilment
We work with many catalogue companies, handling large volume polywrapped catalogue mailings as well as other direct mailings including postcards and enveloped direct mail. From our Order Fulfilment Centre we handle catalogue requests, picking and packing catalogues to be mailed across the UK and internationally.
Catalogue mailings
We have 5 Sitma polywrapping lines and polywrap millions of catalogues and brochures each year. With inkjet addressing or carrier-sheet printing services we provide flexible addressing and pricing options. Smaller or non-machinable mailings can be polybagged or enveloped by hand.
We also provide fulfilment of catalogue requests on a daily basis.
Many catalogue companies also send out other direct mailing campaigns as well as catalogue mailings and we can produce these direct mail packs too. Whether it’s a simple postcard mailing or a complex mailer with numerous inserts and variations, we can provide the solution.
Our largest international catalogue client's mailing cycle involves high volume catalogue mailings followed up by postcard mailings. With our inkjetting capabilities we can print variable postal indicias so that they benefit from using the postage service that offers the best price to that destination.
