PRODUCT DETAILS

This service will hand insert pieces that can not be inserted by a machine. Your item can not be thicker than 1/8". For instance:
  • Business cards
  • Magnets
  • Calenders
  • Small booklets
  • Mouse pads

We do not hand insert bulky items such as pens, USB sticks or any items that is not flexible.

What is machine insertable: The piece must be made out of paper, not UV coated, no thicker than 100 lb text weight, have a min. width of 5" and min. height of 2.83". NCR forms are not machine insertable. 

Hand inserting may add one or several additional days to your production time depending upon the quantity of items that need to be inserted. Please inquire about the additional time needed if your order is +2500 pieces.

COST

Your cost will vary based on the size and the type of item being inserted into each mailer. Having multiple items being inserted into a single mailer will also increase your cost. The cost is based on the size of the promotional item being inserted. Choose a level of service where your promotional item fits into. There is no matching, which means that the promotional item can not be uniquely addressed to each mailer.
