Proofing Your Mailings

Getting Started

It's crucial to preview at least a few proofs for every mailing job before sending it. Proofs show exactly what will be printed and mailed, helping you catch any potential issues early.

How to Access Proofs

  • After uploading your inserts, you'll land on the Job Recipient List/Review page where your recipients are listed.
  • Look for the blue "VIEW" button to the far right of each recipient.
  • Click it to open a pop-up that displays the proofs showing how your mailing will be formatted and assembled.

Best Practices for Reviewing

  • Our website requires that you review at least one proof per job prior to approval.
  • View at least one proof from the start, middle, and end of your recipient list.
  • This ensures you're seeing how different sections will render in the final mailing.

Troubleshooting Proof Viewing Issues

If you're unable to view proof pop-ups:

  • Look for the "Trouble viewing? Click here" link at the top of the proof screen—it opens proofs in a new tab.
  • Try switching browsers—e.g., from Safari to Chrome or Firefox.
  • Test from a different computer if possible.
  • Still stuck? Reach out to our support team for assistance.

Watermark:
