The GERBER EDGE of Direct Mail

The U.S. Postal Service offers a GREAT direct mail tool that allows you to sit at home or work and create quick and easy letters or postcards. It's like the EDGE because you have all electronic setup, you save lots of time, and its very easy!

  • Create a document in Word or use a PDF file. For postcard images you can use a jpg file.
  • Upload the file to the web site
  • Upload your mailing list or create a manual list
  • Pay for postage with a credit card. You even get a discount for letters at $.31 instead of $.37!
  • The site does a mail merge. Letters are addressed, folded and inserted into envelopes.
  • You can schedule the mailing up to 30 days in advance or it can be sent as soon as the next day.
