Design Services

Mail-It Plus will assist either you, your designer or printer with design issues related to the rules and regulations put forth by the United States Postal Service (USPS).

Our position is not to make drastic changes in the design, but rather provide information on the best options from the mailing standpoint. MIP will provide scenarios that allow you to make an informed decision on the best design to use. This service can be quite valuable, because the USPS can be at times very unforgiving.
