Postage costs can add up fast, but did you know there’s a way to save just by bundling your mail with others? That’s where Commingle and Comail services come in. These processes help businesses like yours save on mailing costs by combining mail from multiple senders to unlock bulk postage discounts.
What’s the Difference Between Commingle and Comail?
- Commingle applies to letter-sized mail—think booklets, direct mail pieces, or postcards. It combines pieces from different sources into a larger mail pool increasing density and saturation and presorts it by ZIP code. The more mail going to a specific area, the bigger the postal discount.
- Comail works the same way but is designed for flat-sized mail like catalogs and magazines. By bundling these larger pieces based on ZIP codes, mailers get the same cost-saving benefits.
How Does This Save Money?
It’s all about volume. The USPS offers discounts when mail is presorted because it reduces their processing workload. Instead of handling individual pieces from different senders, they receive large, organized batches that are already sorted by destination. Think of it like carpooling for your mail. More mail going to the same place? Bigger discounts.
Who Can Benefit from Commingle & Comail?
The beauty of these services is that they work for any mailer, big or small. It doesn’t matter if your mail is stamped, metered, or uses an indicia.
