Mellady Helps Customers Save on CD/DVD Mailings with New Packaging
Mellady Direct Marketing has implemented a new money-saving option for customers mailing DVDs and CDs. New packaging approved by the U.S. Postal Service for automatic sorting saves clients the non-machinable surcharge of 20 cents per piece. The new jacket enables mass mailings of CDs and DVDs to be presorted and bar coded, with each disc securely sealed in its own individual package, and ready to be processed through the postal service's automatic sorting machines. Before, such mailing had to be hand-processed at postal facilities and incurred the surcharge.
