Reduce your office mail costs by as much as 50%
The main benefit of our hybrid mail services is the cost savings. Maileva can provide obvious print, fulfilment, and postage cost savings, but less obvious may be the savings our hybrid mail solution can provide in energy, equipment, consumables, and stationery costs.

If you currently have a print/post room, or have staff stuffing envelopes on an adhoc basis this is expensive and time consuming, and is usually a fixed cost, whereas the Maileva hybrid mail solution is pay as you go. Maileva uses print and inserting equipment that cost hundreds of thousands of pounds, this equipment is much more efficient and faster than standard mailroom machines, and postage savings alone from consolidation and wholesale discounts can be as high as 30%!
