Case Studies

These are a few quick facts that help show you why you should get print quotes from BTB Mailflight

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) From our offices in Bedford, Bedfordshire 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, personalised welcome packs, and POS material.

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.

Print Management of Direct Mail

We are traditionally known as a direct mail fulfilment and direct mail postage supplier so naturally managing the printing of direct mail was our initial step into the print management business fifteen years ago. This was when a major publisher asked for our help in sourcing better print prices for their customer acquisition international direct mail campaign. Through our trade relationships we discovered that we could buy better than they could when we sourced the printed envelopes from an envelope specialist, the letterheads from a specialist reel printer, and the leaflets from a local supplier we knew well.

Based on this successful piece of direct mail print management we expanded the offering to all of our direct mail clients, and now our direct mail print management is very popular and we source millions of printed items a year including postcards, letterheads, envelopes, leaflets, brochures, and catalogues.

Our direct mail print management started off with a small number of print partners, with many local to Bedford, Bedfordshire (we are still the leading print management companies in Bedford, Bedfordshire) but today our direct mail print management solution includes print suppliers across the UK and overseas. Widening our printer network has enabled us access to more specialist printers, and with more and more clients using our direct mail print management services our buying power only gets better.

Print Management of POS Material, Catalogues, Magazines etc
