Whether in the UK, US, France or Germany volume producers of mail are able to reduce mailing costs significantly.

One of the principal costs to postal service providers is conducting a physical sort of mail. The premise of the savings are that if a company pre-sorts at the data stage or post sorts after printing using sortation hardware then, the company may benefit from postal discounts.

Companies must have postal outputs that meet specific volumes. In the UK, this is around 4,000 mail items.

Depending upon the type of sort that can be achieved, companies can seek to achieve discount benefits of between 5% – 30%. Not bad if your annual mail bill is £5m per year.

Companies can purchase software, hardware and outsourced solutions in this area and must choose the approach that benefits them the most. This will require an analysis of mail volumes and profiles.
