    Simple Process

    How EDDM Works

    Four steps from campaign idea to every door in your target neighborhood.

    01

    Select Carrier Routes

    Use the USPS route map to choose neighborhoods by zip code, city, or demographics. No mailing list or postage permit required.

    02

    Upload Your Design

    Submit a press-ready PDF or JPG at 300 DPI with 0.125" bleed on all sides. Use our free EDDM templates to get started fast.

    03

    We Print & Bundle

    We print your oversized EDDM postcards on heavy 14PT or 16PT cardstock, then sort and bundle by carrier route for you.

    04

    USPS Delivers to Every Door

    We drop your bundled mail at the USPS facility serving your routes. USPS carriers deliver to every address — residential and business.

    Choose Your Service

    Print-Only or Full-Service?

    Both options deliver the same sharp, oversized EDDM postcards on premium cardstock — the difference is in who handles USPS intake.

    EDDM Print-OnlyDIY

    We print your EDDM postcards and ship them to you. You take them to your local post office, pay postage, and submit the USPS EDDM form. Lowest cost per piece — best for experienced mailers.

    EDDM Full-ServiceManaged

    We handle everything. We print, sort by carrier route, bundle with facing slips, and deliver directly to the USPS facility. You approve your artwork and we do the rest — fully managed end-to-end.
