A tabbing machine is located in Mail Services. US Postal regulations require self mailers and other automated mailings to be tabbed with either one or two tabs in order to speed the process of mailing. Please contact mail services to schedule a tabbing job.

Direct Impression Printing

Direct Impression Printing is done using a printer connected to a computer. This information is sent to the printer using an address file that has been saved to disk or a file that has been emailed to mail services. Once the file is verified for correct format it is imported into a software program that will verify the zip plus four address or add the zip plus four and sort the addresses according to postal regulations. Mailings sent in this manner are generally considered automated mailings. If possible use this method instead of labels to save you costs. Fully automated mailings will save you the most postage and we want to help you get the most for your dollars.

In addition to all the services described above, Mail Services offers these additional services:
