Our high quality ink-jet addressing system applies a sharp professional looking address to your mail piece. Unlike some systems that apply addresses at a lower quality giving it a “faded” look and making the addresses barely legible, our addresses are applied at letter quality making them crisp, clear and easy to read. In addition to the address and barcode, we can also ink-jet return addresses, graphics, text messages, and indicias “(permit info) on to your mail piece

Tabs, sometimes known as wafer seals, are the little round stickers used to hold mail pieces such as self-mailers and booklets closed. In order to receive the postage discount for having an automation compatible mail piece, some mail pieces must be tabbed to keep them closed and prevent the Postal Service’s equipment from jamming. 

The required number of tabs (either 1 or 2) and the location of the tabs on the mail piece is dependant on the number of pages, the weight (or thickness) of the paper, and the orientation of the mail piece’s fold side. At Cactus Mailing, our high speed tabbing system can apply the tabs necessary for your mail piece to meet these requirements.

When it comes to our inserting systems flexibility is the key word. Our systems can handle numerous combinations of insert sizes and quantities as well as a variety of envelope sizes. Inserts can be non-folded, pre-folded, or fold the piece prior to inserting. We also have the ability to collate or “nest” the inserts (an example of nesting is taking multiple pages of a letter, folding it as one, and then inserting it as one multi-page letter into the envelope). Listed below are some of the types of inserts our systems can handle.

• Single Page Letters
• Multi Page Letters (Nested or Collated)
• Flyers or Brochures
• Newsletters
• Cards (Reply or Announcement)
• Reply Envelopes
• Personalized Laser Letter

Note: Automated inserting requires the inserts and envelopes to meet certain requirements. For example a standard sheet of paper that is 8 ½ in wide fits easily into a #10 business envelope that is 9½ in. wide. However, a #9 envelope is only 8 7/8 in. wide resulting in too tight of a fit for automated inserting. If the mail piece does not meet the automated inserting requirements it must be hand inserted resulting in additional labor charges. As a general rule of thumb, the insert must be ½ inch shorter than the envelope. If you have any questions on whether or not you mail piece meets the requirements for automated inserting, please give us a call.

Using a stamp instead of a meter imprint of indicia (permit) adds a personalized look to your letter mailings and will often increase your response rates. At Cactus Mailing we have automated stamp affixing capabilities making it cost effective to utilize stamps on your mail piece.

We have high-speed laser printing capability to meet your laser printing and letter personalization needs. We can personalize your letter by adding the recipient’s full name & address, by adding a personalized greeting, or by adding just about any other type of variable data from your records. With our duplexing capabilities we can personalize or apply variable data to either or both sides of your letter.

Turnaround times for lettershop projects vary significantly depending of the quantity and complexity of the mailing. Most of our lettershop projects are completed in 2 to 4 days from the time we have everything we need -materials, lists, instructions & payment
