Catalogue and Brochure 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.

There are many postal operators in the UK mail market now that Royal Mail's monopoly has been ended, so to get the lowest postage costs for your UK mailings it is important you choose a mailing partner that can offer all the UK postal services now available as well as Royal Mail's services.

Send us your mailing brief and we will be able to identify our most cost effective UK postal solution which includes:

Royal Mail discounts
As one of Royal Mail's largest partners we can produce and sort your mailings to enable you to achieve Mailsort discounts and volume discounts that can be as high as 30%!

Down Stream Access postal solution
We provide our own Down Stream Access (DSA) postal solution which can provide significant discounts on Royal Mail's equivalent sorted postal service.

Alternative UK postal accounts
We can process mailings to be posted by the likes of TNT, Citipost, UK Mail, DHL, Secure Mail etc, so if you are big enough to have your own account with them we can handle your mail fulfilment. We understand exactly how to print, sort and present the mail ready for collection by these postal operators.
