Print to post saves you time and money from the design phase to the use of state of the art technologies that speeds preparation at a lower cost. For example: 

For some organizations, presort is either an expensive option or is not an option at all because of limited mail volumes.  By using the state's program, MiDEAL Members can pool outgoing mail with the State's and can reduce postage costs by over $.05 per piece.  Michigan State University took advantage of this service and saved nearly $75,000 in the first four months.  Presort also can shorten the time it takes for mail to reach its destination.  The service is provided at a secure facility near Lansing that handles both routine and sensitive mailings.

Print to post eliminates packaging and transport because print and mail operations are under one roof. Print to post provides added security because what we print, we prepare and deliver to the post office.

Print to post offers electronic form storage for some applications, eliminating the need to warehouse, or pre-stage large amounts of materials, while allowing you control to revise documents as necessary and print only what you need.
