Direct Mail preparation is very similar to statement production. In most cases, the finished advertising piece is presorted in accordance with Standard Mail rules, addressed, inserted if necessary, and entered into the postal system. Having the equipment and knowledge base to support both operations is a benefit to customers who can use a single trusted vendor for all their mailing needs.
StatementOut maintains a high volume direct mail and letter shop capability with multiple ink-jet machines with in-line tabbing, folders, cutters, and non-intelligent inserting machines. Although an apples to oranges comparison would be appropriate there are enough similarities that providing both services makes sense.
