We have the people, process, and technology to accurately produce your mailings with confidence. We know mail!
Automated Inserting
Quick setup for most standard letter envelope sizes. We are also suited for manual assembly of flat mail pieces as well as odd sized pieces.
Tabbing
The Postal Service runs mail through machines which will damage self-mailers if not properly tabbed. To obtain automation rates for self-mailers (letter size), they must be sealed by tabs.
We stock several types of tabs for most applications.

Drop Shipment
The USPS offers lower postage rates for both Standard and Periodicals mail to encourage mailers to move the mail closer to the point of delivery. Drop shipment refers to trucking and entering mail at postal sorting facilities closer to its final destination. We regularly prepare mailings at FlexDigital for such savings. Typically, we analyze your data for the potential savings versus the cost of trucking. Many of our customers choose drop shipment for the time it can save in delivery.
There are three destination entry discounts for Standard mail:
1) Destination Delivery Unit (DDU) discount
2) Bulk Mail Center (BMC) discount
3) Sectional Center Facility (SCF) discount.
Although the DDU is the largest discount available, it's available only in
very specific high-density carrier-route mailing. Consequently, we tend
to focus instead on the BMC and SCF discounts.
At FlexDigital, we offer
it all: on-site postal inspection, Merlin for rapid acceptance or staging of
your drop shipments.
On-Site Postal Entry & Merlin™
Due to the large daily volume of mail we process at FlexDigital, the USPS provides complete mail acceptance services on-site in our facility Monday through Friday. We stage, present, pay and undergo strict quality control via postal inspection. We then send all our mail pieces through the MERLIN™, or Mail Evaluation Readability and Lookup Instrument, which verifies barcode readability and other mail requirements before being thrown into the mail stream. In fact, we were the first private install of MERLIN™ in the state of Alabama, and have an exemplary relationship with the US Postal Service. We work closely with the Post Office in order to move your mail through to delivery without a hitch.
