Presorted Mail
Presorted mail saves the Post Office both time and money — and that savings gets passed on to you!

During the presorting process, we will ensure that you receive the best postage rates available by:

  • Verifying mailing addresses
  • Ensuring your list is C.A.S.S. certified
  • Including Intelligent Mail barcodes
  • Providing design guidance to comply with postal regulations
  • Inkjetting mailing addresses directly onto pieces
  • Sorting all pieces by zip code before delivering to the post office

Minimum Requirements for presorted indicia type
Presort First Class — 500 pieces
Presort Standard — 200 pieces

Nonprofit Mail
Mailings with a nonprofit indicia must adhere to the same regulations as presorted mail with additional regulations:

  • The return address of the nonprofit entity must appear on the mail
  • Nothing “promotional” is to be placed on or inside the mailing or additional regulations may apply
  • In order to receive the lowest nonprofit rate, the weight of the piece must not exceed 3.3 ounces
  • In order to qualify for the lowest postage rate when using a response device, the business reply device must include the barcode and FIM

Minimum Requirements for nonprofit indicia
Nonprofit — 200 pieces + registration with Indianapolis Post Office or National NP Postal Registry

USPS Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM)
USPS’ Every Door Direct Mail service is an easy, cost-effective way to reach potential customers near a specific location. Recipients of mail pieces are determined by chosen mail routes. Mailers do not need a permit when using EDDM when mailing up to 5,000 pieces per zip code.

EDDM lets you map your marketing mail audience by age, income, or household size. You can use the EDDM mapping tool to choose the ZIP Code™ and carrier route that will target your best possible customers — current and future.
