Why Pre-Printed Materials Aren’t Supported
LetterStream’s mailing system is built for speed and automation. Accepting physical items would require:
- Custom handling and shipping logistics
- Manual insertion, bypassing our automated systems
- Special formatting to work with our equipment
These complications make it difficult to maintain our streamlined process.
Common Pre-Printed Material Requests
Examples of commonly requested pre-printed inserts include:
- Magnets
- Keys
- ID cards
- Marketing brochures
Unfortunately, these and other items cannot be included in your mailings.
Recommended Alternative: Use PDFs
To achieve a similar result:
- Design your materials in a PDF format
- Upload them via the standard job creation workflow on our website
- Let the system handle printing and mailing efficiently
