DEFINING FOLDED SELF-MAILERS
INDUSTRY FEEDBACK HELPS ENHANCE MAILING STANDARDS
In collaboration with the Mailers’ Technical Advisory Committee and several mailer associations, the Postal Service initiated a study of letter-sized folded self-mailers. Many mail owners, printers and preparers provided samples of mailpieces using current formats for testing, and some customers submitted samples with new innovative designs.
Testing has concluded, and now the analysis process is under
way. Given the extent of the samples submitted, analysis will take a little time
to reconcile.
While there is no definite timeline, the Postal Service plans to communicate
an overview of the test findings by the end of this year. After informal
comments and suggestions are received from study participants, the Postal
Service will seek broader industry feedback as it develops new folded
self-mailer standards.
The Federal Register process gives mailers the opportunity to comment on mailing standard revisions. Now, with the additional round of feedback built in up front, there will be two rounds of industry feedback. This collaborative process is likely to extend into calendar year 2010.
Be sure to look for additional information on the self-mailer study in the coming months.
-- Formax MailDoc - OMR and BCR Marks Generation Software for Intelligent Automated Inserting: A powerful, easy-to-use, software suite that generates Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) or Bar Code Recognition (BCR) marks directly on documents for intelligent inserting of varying multi-page documents such as invoices and statements. MailDoc reduces printing and postage costs by sorting through your unprinted documents and collating together any that are intended for the same recipient so they are sent in the same envelope. MailDoc can also convert traditional simplex printed documents to duplex printing to reduce paper costs and provide further postage savings.
In addition to these cost saving tools, MailDoc will also allow you to fully utilize any inserter equipped with OMR or BCR through enhanced security of sequence check marks, target marketing with selective feeding and diverting of sets based on selected criteria. Adding electronic overlays with company logos, messages or borders can enhance your printed document image while eliminating the need to inventory pre-printed forms.
