Save time and reduce risk
with mail-ready lettershop files
Next time you need to provide files to your variable data printer or lettershop, let Interact Direct show you how to cut days off your production schedule. We'll also help you reduce costs and avoid unnecessary risk by pre-flighting your data and delivering professional, print-ready files to the suppliers of your choice. It's just one of the ways that Interact Direct helps you be smart about marketing.
Providing data "mail-ready" means it's been pre-processed, validated and formatted in advance. It's ready to use to produce mail.
Preparation typically requires the file be split into 'panels', consistent with the physical mail pieces. Files are cleaned using standardization, verification and correction software and movers are updated with current address information. Fields that need to be printed (like full name, salutation, etc.) are formatted and 'floated' to remove blank lines; postal sorts are prepared; and other similar processes are completed. When your files arrive at the lettershop, you can have confidence that they're ready to mail.
