    To qualify for EDDM, a piece must be a USPS "flat" — longer than 10.5", taller than 6.125", or thicker than 0.25" (and within 15" × 12" × 0.75"). Standard 4" × 6" and 6" × 9" postcards do not qualify. Our team size-checks every piece against the USPS EDDM size rules before it prints.

    Austin EDDM Questions, Answered

    Postage is a flat $0.247 per piece anywhere in the Austin metro — the same USPS EDDM Retail rate as everywhere else — plus printing, which varies by size, stock, and quantity. There's no mailing list to buy and no permit fee, and postage at Catdi Printing is a 100% pass-through, itemized on your quote.
    Yes — any active carrier route in the Austin metro, from the urban core to the fastest-growing suburbs. New subdivisions in Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Pflugerville add carrier routes frequently, which means brand-new rooftops your competitors haven't mailed yet.
    At our Texas production facility, then shipped directly to the Austin-area Post Offices that serve your routes — bundled, faced, and with all USPS paperwork done. No cross-country shipping delays.
    It depends on who your customer is. The USPS route data shows household income, age, and household size for every Austin route, so a family restaurant targets differently than a med spa. We map and compare routes for you free before anything prints.
