Direct mail campaigns with AlphaGraphics start at around $0.30 per piece printed, plus the cost of postage, which depends on USPS factors like quantity, mailer size, mail class, and destination zip codes.
Larger batches and standardized formats almost always cost less per piece. Postage class drives the biggest cost swing — USPS Marketing Mail costs less than First-Class, and EDDM is the lowest postage rate of all. Send us your campaign details for a custom quote.

Most direct mail campaigns at our Shavano Park shop go from approval to mailbox in 5–7 business days, including printing, mail prep, and USPS hand-off.
Rush turnarounds are available — our local team can move fast for events, time-sensitive promotions, or last-minute drops. After we hand off to USPS, in-home delivery typically adds another 3–5 business days for Marketing Mail and 1–3 days for First-Class, with a local delivery address.

AlphaGraphics San Antonio produces every common direct mail format, including postcards, letters, self-mailers, folded brochures, catalogs, EDDM mailers, and custom-format pieces with variable-data personalization.
Format choices to consider:
- Postcards — lowest postage, best for short messages and a single call to action
- Letters — higher engagement for personalized or premium offers; allow envelope branding
- Self-mailers — folded formats with more space than postcards, no envelope needed
- EDDM — saturation drops by USPS carrier route, lowest postage class, no list required
Bring us your offer and audience, and we'll recommend the format that fits the goal and budget.
-
Both — we build or source targeted mailing lists by demographic, behavior, or geography, run EDDM saturation drops to every address on a USPS carrier route, or work from a list you already own.
The most successful campaigns we mail are well-targeted, lead with a strong call to action, and offer something genuinely useful to the recipient. List quality matters as much as design — better lists outperform better creative every time.
