Our experienced team have established trade relationships across Europe which have been developed over the past 30 years. We procure printed and plain materials for many clients which gives us significant buying power.
- Know the materials are right for the job.
We will source materials that are suitable for our production processes, and getting the right materials can lower the cost of production and fulfilment, and even reduce your postage costs. Thing we consider include paper weights and finishes, box sizes, polythene thickness, envelope sizes etc.
- A range of printing options.
Our plant list is ‘limitless’ so we are not restricted in what we can offer, from litho to digital printing, and we don't suffer from the capacity issues that using a traditional approach can cause.
- Save time and resources.
We will undertake all liaison with the printer including getting quotes, chasing them up, organising your proofs and if necessary will visit the printers to pass on press, saving you time and hassle.
- Be confident of hitting mailing dates.
Our Print Management and Production Departments work hand in hand in order to meet schedules, you don’t have to worry about organising your printer to deliver into us on time, that’s down to us, and we know what we need and when we need it.
- A single point of contact.
Your Account Executive at BTB Mailflight will be your point of contact for both print and fulfilment activities and having just one person to liaise with has obvious benefits.
- One invoice.
Receiving one clear invoice simplifies your budgeting.
Did you know?
1) BTB Mailflight manages the printing and production of millions of envelopes every year. This includes working with a leading manufacturer in Spain that can meet the volumes needed by one particular client, at the right price and in short turnaround times. Our Print Manager even visits the manufacturer’s site near Madrid to sign-off the proofs and make quality checks.
2) We manage the printing of postcards and direct mail inserts for the likes of Verisign and The Economist.
3) With a ‘limitless’ plant list we can print anything from a simple leaflet or brochure to membership cards and personalised welcome packs.
4) A digital print job we handled for Tarsus Group won an award at the Association of Event Organisers Awards.
5) As well as producing monochrome carrier-sheets, letters, and invoices we also supply colour letterheads and other base stationery.
6) In addition to standard clear polythene we also supply printed and biodegradable polythene to run on our Sitma polywrapping lines.
7) We can recommend different print formats to reduce direct mail production costs. For example one of our charity clients had always bought order forms printed on sheets, however we sourced them two-up on continuous reels so that the print personalisation process was much quicker and cheaper, and we simply cut them to size after.
8) The materials you use can have a significant impact on the fulfilment and postage costs. For a leading publisher we sourced new materials which reduced their mailing pack size and weight and saved them thousands of pounds a month on postage.
9) Our buying power even allows clients to benefit from reduced prices for
basic mailing materials including boxes, labels, stickers, jiffy bags, polybags,
envelopes, polythene, paper etc.
