Mailing Solutions for Universities – Alumni and Prospectus Departments

Alumni magazine mailings
BTB Mailflight's mailing house division specialises in the fulfilment of polywrapped mailings, this includes handling many prospectus's and alumni magazine mailings.

We have 5 Sitma polywrapping lines and polywrap millions of items each year. Smaller mailings can be polybagged or enveloped by hand.

With our inkjetting capabilities we can print variable postal indicias while we polywrap prospectus and alumni magazines so universities benefit from using the postage service that offers the best price to the destination that specific item is going to.

Alternatively we can print carrier sheets that provide the same benefits, with the addition of being more personal and including more information.

Direct mail, postcards and letters
As well as polywrapped mailings we can produce other direct mail packs too. Whether it’s a simple postcard or letter mailing, or a complex mailer with numerous inserts and variations, we can provide the answer.

Our solution includes print management, data processing, fulfilment (laser printing, inkjet addressing, envelope enclosing etc), and postal services.

Prospectus mailing campaigns
We can handle all types of prospectus mailings, from high volume prospectus mailings to low run prospectus mailings, including polywrapping and enveloping of prospectus’s. We offer a wide range of UK and international postal services too.

Daily prospectus fulfilment
BTB Mailflight can also provide the solution for universities and colleges that want to outsource the handling of daily prospectus requests. Our solution includes:

• Receipt of prospectus requests (call handling, online requests, email enquiries, postal requests)

• Storage

• Pick and pack

• Printing of personalised letters

• Inserting of additional leaflets/brochures/DVDs etc

• UK and international mailing

• Bulk distribution of prospectus's to colleges and libraries etc

Our sophisticated prospectus fulfilment system is designed to automatically download your data each day from your website or call centre (or our call centre), data is then linked to your personalised letter or label template that we will develop (multiple versions if necessary), addresses are printed and your prospectus is mailed out the same day.

BTB Mailflight is a pioneering international mail consolidator with over 30 years experience of international postal services, and we are now part of the world’s third largest postal group. We are industry experts with our own global postal network and postal partners across the world.

We use a wide range of postal services and mailing agents to offer you our lowest prices i.e. if a mailing list contains addresses in Nigeria, France, Germany, and Japan then we are likely to use four different postal routes for that one mailing i.e. Mail Africa, La Poste, Deutsche Post, and Hermes.

• We are part of Europe's second largest postal group (turnover 20 billion euros).

• We benefit from preferential rates through the group’s global network.

• We consolidate the mail of many clients so we achieve wholesale postage rates and volume discounts with other postal operators too.

• We operate the largest network of direct entry postal services with agents in over 70 countries worldwide.

• We provide a wide range of services including Priority and Standard/Economy services and services for bulk mailings of letters, direct mail, magazines, journals, packets, parcels, Mbags etc.

• We are able to achieve extra discounts that many international mail companies can't achieve because we have sophisticated fulfilment, address formatting, and mail sorting capabilities.

Our international postal solution is used by the likes of The Economist, Verisign, London School of Economics, and OK! Magazine.
