Where Can I Find A Direct Mail Printing Service in Providence Rhode Island?

This is a common question for large, medium and small businesses in and around Providence.  A quick answer to this question is: you should Alphagraphics in Providence.  Alphagraphics is an expert in printing and mailing services and they can make your mailing seamless.   Here are some answers to common questions to help you better plan for your mailing.

  1. Do I need to provide the file?  Short answer is no, but if you have the means to design a file, it will speed up the process.  You will want to design your file using high resolution images and text.  The best file to send us is a PDF, built to size and with bleeds.   If you do not have the means to design the file, Alphagraphics graphic designers can lend a helping hand.  You can reach us at 401-648-0078
  2.  Do I need to provide the list?  Again, the short answer is no.  Alphagraphics does not have a proprietary list generation method or technology, but we do have access to companies who can provide a list based on a criteria.  For example, if you are a Preschool in Shrewsbury MA - you may want to target families within 10 miles of your school with children ages 1 to 4.
  3.  What are common size direct mail postcards?  The most common sizes are 4"x6", 5"x7" , 5.5x8.5, and 6"x9".  Please note that the postage price can vary greatly from the 4"x6" size up to the 6"x9" size.
  4. What if I want to send a general mail piece to my city? If you do not need to specifically target demographics or certain people, the most common mailing option is an EDDM (Every Door Direct Mail).   An EDDM mailer needs to be flat and fit a certain criteria in terms of size and paper thickness. But the postage is very low compared to a traditional postage on a postcard, and it allows you to reach a large population without buying a list.  Alphagraphics is an expert in EDDM mail printing, give us a call today to discuss 401-648-0078.
  5. I just need envelopes printed.  Great. Our sweet spot is printing so we can print your envelopes for you.  Whether they are standard #10 black and white envelopes, #10 Window Envelopes or a custom full color printed envelope, we can assist.
Lastly, Alphagraphics works very well as the fulfillment provider for businesses who have already planned their direct mail and just need a company to print, sort, bundle and deliver to the USPS.  Give us a call 401-648-0078 or click here to contact us to discuss your next mailing campaign.   Alphagraphics is a printing service and sign company located in Providence Rhode Island.
