Advanced Mailing Services New PTI First Class Automated Presorter Makes Quick Work of First Class Mail Presorting

Reduces Postal Expense While Speeding Delivery

Advanced Mailing Services, a New Mexico-based, full-service direct mail preparation service, announced that its new PTI First Class Automated Presorter service is now available to help reduce postage expense while speeding delivery, which helps maintain tight budgets while still satisfying customers and maintaining direct mail campaigns. This service also provides a greater level of convenience and productivity for your bottom line because Advanced Mailing Services will pick up customer mail and deliver it to the United States Postal Service (USPS) on a daily basis.

To provide this service, Advanced Mailing Services uses an industrial Multi-line Optical Character Reader (MLOCR), which handles the bar coding and sorting of mail at a very high rate of speed so that it can then be delivered to the USPS the same day. This reader is built using cutting-edge postal automation technology to automatically read addresses, barcodes, and other pertinent data in the most accurate way possible. Once the mail is sorted by zip code, it is placed in trays and taken to the USPS for a discounted mailing rate.

The benefits include maximized postage discounts, elimination of on-site meter equipment and supplies, reduced labor and training costs and savings on permit fees and equipment lease agreements. This system is ideal for a wide range of business mailings, including invoices, statements, and direct marketing collateral.

This service is a way to extend generous postal discounts to even small business owners that might not typically qualify for the minimum piece amount of 150 pieces for a specific zip code. However, using Advanced Mailing Services means that a small business owner could benefit from combining their mail with other customers to take advantage of this significant discount. Because the mail has already been sorted before it reaches the USPS, it reduces the number of times it is then handled by the USPS, thereby speeding processing and delivery.
