Clean up your list before mailing
Address lists age fast: people move, duplicates pile up, typos creep in and addresses go missing. Every piece sent to a bad address is wasted printing and postage.
- ✓Address validation and standardization
- ✓Duplicate removal
- ✓Formatting to Canada Post standards
- ✓Flagging incomplete addresses for correction
What kinds of mailings?
- ✓Loyalty and win-back campaigns
- ✓Notices to residents, members or subscribers
- ✓Renewals, invitations and fundraising appeals
- ✓Any mailing that needs different content for each recipient
Sorting and presorting: lower postage
Canada Post rates also depend on how a mailing is prepared. By sorting and grouping your pieces to its requirements, we help you lower postage costs without changing a word of your message.
Variable data printing: a different piece for every recipient
Variable data printing (VDP) changes the content from one piece to the next during the print run:
- ✓Recipient name and address
- ✓A message or offer based on the customer's profile
- ✓A unique promo code or customer number
- ✓A QR code or web address unique to each recipient
- ✓The nearest branch or the name of their sales rep
The result: a more relevant piece for each person, and responses you can track one by one.
Inserting and folding
Letters, flyers, reply cards, return envelopes: we assemble your mailing by machine or by hand, depending on the pieces, then fold and prepare everything for Canada Post drop-off.

Files, volumes and turnaround
Send your artwork as a high-resolution PDF. Volume and turnaround depend on your mailing: we confirm them in your quote, which is free and sent within 24 hours.
One team, from data to mailbox
Having the same team process and print your mail means no files bouncing between suppliers, and none of the errors that come with it. If an address is a problem or a variable field is empty, we catch it before printing, not after the drop-off at Canada Post. And if you're also planning an unaddressed drop, we coordinate both mailings.
Keeping your lists confidential
Your data is used only to prepare your mailing and is deleted after 30 days. Access is limited to the people working on it.
