What is EDDM?

EDDM (Every Door Direct Mail) is a USPS service that delivers your mail piece to every address on the carrier routes you choose, with no mailing list and no addresses printed on the piece. It is the lowest-cost way to reach every household in a neighborhood.

How is shipping calculated?

Enter your ZIP code in the order builder. Your order ships UPS Ground from the nearest of six U.S. print hubs (Ohio, Texas, Florida, New Jersey, Arizona and California), priced at wholesale rates that are never more than 85% of the retail UPS estimate.

Can you design my postcard or door hanger?

Yes. Professional design is available on every product for a flat fee shown in the order builder, starting at $39 for business cards. You receive design proofs to approve before anything prints.

Can I order by phone?

Yes, and most customers do. Call 512-573-1977, 7am–7pm Eastern, 7 days a week. We'll price the job, help pick sizes and EDDM routes, and place the order with you.

Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM)

What size does an EDDM postcard have to be?

EDDM pieces must qualify as USPS "flats": longer than 10.5″, or taller than 6.125″, or thicker than 0.25″, and no larger than 15″ × 12″. Popular EDDM sizes are 6.5″ × 9″, 6″ × 11″, 4.25″ × 11″, 8.5″ × 11″ and 9″ × 12″. A 4″ × 6″ postcard is too small for EDDM.

Do I need a mailing list for EDDM?

No. EDDM delivers to every address on a carrier route, so no list is needed and no names or addresses are printed on the piece. You choose routes by ZIP code, household count, age or income data using the USPS EDDM map.

How much does EDDM postage cost?

EDDM postage is paid to USPS per piece at the current EDDM Retail rate, separately from printing. USPS adjusts the rate periodically, so call us or check the USPS EDDM site for the current figure.

How many EDDM pieces can I mail at once?

With EDDM Retail, USPS accepts up to 5,000 pieces per ZIP code per day from one mailer, bundled in 50–100 pieces with a facing slip. Our EDDM packages offer shrink-wrapping in bundles of 100.

What is included in an EDDM package?

Each package is a ready-to-mail EDDM piece on premium stock with coating on both sides: Bronze 4.25″ × 11″ postcard, Silver 6.5″ × 9″ postcard, Gold 8.5″ × 11″ vertical bifold, Platinum 11″ × 17″ bifold, and Diamond 11″ × 25.5″ bifold. Each comes in buy-one-get-one quantities.

Can you help me choose EDDM routes?

Yes. Call 512-573-1977 with the ZIP codes you want to reach, and we'll help you pick routes and work out how many pieces you need.

Brochures & Menus

Can brochures be folded?

Yes. Brochures and menus can be ordered flat or folded; folding is priced per quantity tier in the order builder.

Business Cards

How thick are the business cards?

Business cards print on 16pt card stock (about 0.016″ thick, a sturdy premium weight) with UV or matte coating.

Do you print round, oval or leaf-shaped cards?

Yes. Along with the 3.5″ × 2″ standard, slim 1.75″ × 3″ and square 2.5″ cards, we print 2″ and 2.5″ circles, a 1.5″ × 2.5″ oval and a 2″ × 3.5″ leaf shape.

Catalogs

How many pages can a catalog have?

Saddle-stitched catalogs can have 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 or 28 pages. The order builder prices every page count instantly.

Door Hangers

Do door hangers need postage?

No. Door hangers are delivered by hand, so there is no postage cost. Federal law prohibits placing them in mailboxes; hang them on the door handle.

What size door hanger is most popular?

The 4.25″ × 11″ door hanger gives room for an offer, photos and a tear-off coupon while staying economical. The 3.5″ × 8.5″ is the budget choice.

Postcards

What is the cheapest postcard size?

The 4″ × 6″ postcard is the least expensive: 2,500 for $179 (pay for 1,000, get 1,500 free). For EDDM, the least expensive eligible size is 4.25″ × 11″.

What stock and coating do postcards use?

All postcards print full color on 16pt card stock with a choice of UV (glossy) or matte coating.

Which postcard sizes can be mailed with EDDM?

Sizes over 10.5″ long or 6.125″ tall qualify as EDDM flats: 4.25″ × 11″, 6.5″ × 9″, 6″ × 11″, 8.5″ × 11″ and 9″ × 12″.

Vinyl Banners

How much does a vinyl banner cost?

Banners are $5 per square foot, and you get a second banner free. A 3′ × 6′ banner is $90 for two.

What finishing options are available?

Banners can be ordered with no grommets, grommets every 2 feet, or a sewn 2″ or 3″ pole pocket.
