Files
YoursPDF, Word, images, and CSV lists stay yours. We do not rewrite the document you uploaded. We do not generate bills inside a core or ERP.
Stop printing documents at the office
Desk print, fold, insert, and the post-office run leave the office. You keep the files and the approval. We print, insert, apply postage, and deliver the pieces to USPS.
What leaves your office
Production work leaves. The copier tray is not a plant.
An office mailroom is a queue. Someone prints a stack. Someone folds. Someone stuffs envelopes. Someone meters postage. Someone drives to the drop. That queue is production. It does not belong next to the copier.
A copier is for the one-off you need in the room. A tray of statements, invoices, or notices is a production job. Production wants a mail date, a class, and a human who approves the stack. It does not want a desk that runs out of envelopes at 4:40.
-
Print / fold / insert
We print documents and postcards on production equipment. Folding and inserting happen on our side for envelope jobs. You do not stand at a folder.
-
Postage and drop
We apply postage. We deliver the pieces to USPS. You skip the post-office line.
-
Coordination
First-Class and Certified use the same job. You do not send proof mail to a second vendor.

Supplies, the window, and the shop
A desk mailroom buys stock. A walk-in shop is still a counter.
A desk mailroom buys paper, envelopes, toner, and postage. It also buys a trip to the window. Production paper and envelope come with the job. Postage is applied on our side. The prepaid meter is debited when you approve. We do not publish a supply-cost number.
No tray in the car. No window line. After you approve, the drop is our job. USPS delivers nationwide.
A walk-in shop is local. You often print, then mail. Here you upload one job. We print, apply postage, and deliver the pieces to USPS. That is not a counter. Compare catalog, shop, and USPS →
What stays with you
Files stay yours. Approval stays yours. Staffing stays yours.
Approval
A humanAI proposes setup. Nothing prints until a human confirms the job in front of you. Last month’s run does not mail this month.
The office
Not staffedWe do not staff your office mailroom. Incoming mail, the lobby, and the package cart stay yours. We take document and postcard production from upload to USPS.

Address quality after proof
Addresses land on the job from the file, a list, or by hand. Then proof. Then address quality. CASS and NCOA are included. They run on the production path. You review flagged pieces before you approve.
We do not re-explain those programs here. A flag is a review, not an auto-send. Fewer returns is the point. It is not a USPS delivery-time promise. Address verification →
