EDDM Full-service (High Volume Products)
This is a full-service EDDM product. This means we complete all the steps for you. We will print your cards, bundle them, complete all the documentation and send the cards directly to the Post Office including the postage fee. All you need to do is to provide us with your artwork.
EDDM is an ideal tool for reaching your local markets. You can choose from a variety of card sizes and you don’t even need a mailing list. You simply choose the mailing routes in a zip code and USPS delivers your mail piece to every single person or business on that route. You can choose either all residences and businesses or residential addresses only.
Advantages of EDDM: Less expensive than mailing first-class or standard-class and you do not need to have a mailing list.
Disadvantages of EDDM: It is not a targeted mailing since you are spending money to deliver a piece to every single address. If you need to target certain households based on certain requirements, then EDDM is not the right tool. You need to use targeted mailing as shown here. EDDM mail pieces are NOT personalized and do not include the recipient's name and address. If you are looking for highly personalized mailing, then we suggest using one of our letter printing products here. EDDM is a great choice if you need to reach entire communities for a local product or a service you are offering.
NOTE: EDDM mail is not traceable, and once we turn your mail over to USPS, we cannot see the mail traveling in the mail stream, unlike first-class or Standard Class mail, where we can track the arrival time.

Upload a single PDF file with 2 pages, one page for the front and one page for the back. Please see the correct template for your size to make sure you leave blank the correct areas for addressing, postage indicia, and USPS barcoding.
- File format: We only accept PDF file format.
- Bleed/Edge to Edge Printing: All brochures regardless of size require a 1/16" bleed on all 4 sides. See more.
- Safety zone: We highly recommend having at least a 1/4" clear area on all four sides and placing all text at least 1/4" away from all edges.
- Fonts: Make sure all fonts have been outlined in your artwork so they don't change on the final print. See more.
- Color setting: Your files must be created in CMYK format; we print in CMYK ONLY. Make sure you set up your artwork or convert to CMYK format before uploading files, this will enable you to view the best color representation on your final printed piece. See more.
- Resolution: To have high-quality print, your photos and graphics should have at least a 300 DPI. See more.
- Small borders: We highly discourage outer borders smaller than 1/8", see more. We cut several stacks of sheets at a time, the slightest imperfection in the cut with jobs with very thin borders becomes obvious and can appear incorrect on final piece.
- Rich black ink: If you'd like your final printed piece to have the deepest black color, use the following formula: C=60, M=40, Y=40, K=100. If you leave K=100 it will still be black but not as deep. See more.
