USPS Postage Increase in July, 2025

Postal Increases coming!

Another postage increase from the USPS is planned for July 13, 2025.

Below are the estimated increase rates coming our way:

First-Class Mail Forever Stamp: 73 cents to 78 cents.
Domestic Postcards: 56 cents to 62 cents.
International Postcards & Letters (1 oz): $1.65 to $1.70.
Additional Ounce (single-piece letters): 28 cents to 29 cents.
Postal Insurance: A 12% reduction in cost.

This once again reinforces the fact that you should be personalizing your mailings for a better response rate. This means connecting with the target audience with personalize information. It is a proven fact personalization is much more effective.

According to the Data & Marketing Association (DMA):

Personalized direct mail (using names, tailored offers, variable data printing) sees response rates of 4–6% on average.
Static or non-personalized mail (generic content, no targeting) tends to yield 1–2% response rates.
That means personalized mail can be 2 to 3 times more effective than static mail. The increased engagement stems from relevance—when recipients see content that feels tailored to them, they’re more likely to act.

We look forward to providing you the best service possible!

We have new capabilities in 2024!!!

We are very excited to share we have added new equipment and software that allows us to expand our services!

Our team was thrilled to learn some new things when we introduced our new Camera Match Inserting device. This add-on allows us to offer and take on more match mailing projects that were too voluminous for us to facilitate by hand. In addition to this great new machine, we have added the ability to generate and print scan lines with check digits as well as QR Codes!

So let us take care of that next mailing you have coming up!

Don't forget, we also can facilitate all kinds of fulfillment and extra services such as assembling kits or small packages and printing and cutting your business cards! Come see us today!
