Propack are experts in personalising, enclosing and mailing all manner of promotional campaigns. We have built our reputation on a personal approach and have the production ability to be flexible in order for deadlines to be achieved. Despite our impressive range of equipment enabling us to handle large volumes of mail, we are proud of our ability in treating every mailing with the same priority, whatever the size.

Tried and tested production procedures are strictly adhered to. This ensures maximum speed, efficiency and accuracy on all campaigns. In addition, multiple checking procedures ensure that we recognise any pitfalls and can anticipate problems before they arise.

We guarantee to mail 100% of the records in your data. This is achieved by running the mailing through specialised machinery which will read the sequence / mailsort code of the piece and halt the machine should it run out of the cycle. This also eliminates blanks being mailed and speeds the production process. After each mailing we can provide a report of all the mail sent through our machinery, which is a useful piece of information should any letter need to be traced. If any spoils occur during the production process, these are re-printed and re-enclosed.

On receiving your brief a dedicated Account Manager is assigned with full reporting and accountability to your project. The Account Manager will report back on every detail and keep you fully informed as to the progress of your campaign.

With frequent change within the postal industry, our experience, knowledge and high quality software will allow you to reduce your postage costs. Propack will independently advise on discounted bulk mail fulfillment, UK and International postal services.

We have strong associations with all the “downstream access carriers” as well as Royal Mail to ensure the best mailing costs for your mailing campaigns. We work closely with all the service providers and keep up-to-date with all current incentives and promotions. This means we can provide you with the most cost effective postage solution for your mailings.

We can also offer an International consolidation service using leading postal authorities to ensure maximum discounts are accessed for all non-UK mail.

Cut Sheet Laser Printing
Personalised laser print can be produced onto letterheads and various other printed matter. We can laser Simplex or Duplex up to a maximum paper weight of 250gsm. Only OEM quality laser toner is used (never recycled) to ensure the highest density of blackness and superiority of print. Quality procedures ensure this standard is maintained and monitored throughout, ensuring every item that leaves us is perfectly presented, no matter how large or small the job.

Label Printing
Our high volume label machines give an alternative method of addressing irregular shapes or heavier stock e.g. odd shaped postcards,CD packs etc. A high speed label affixer supports our label production.

Machine Enclosing
Machine enclosing allows us to handle various materials with confidence and enables us to enclose up to six items at a time. We can enclose all machineable wallets up to C4, with the added advantage of a streamfeeder enabling us to handle landscape formats and obscure folds.

Polywrapping
High-speed polywrapping is a versatile and cost effective alternative to enclosing into envelopes. We can polywrap a wide range of products including stationery, magazines, brochures, broadsheets, books and CD wallets.

Your mailing can be wrapped in clear film (various grades are available including bio-degradable and compostable film) to create greater impact on delivery, or you may decide to choose pre-printed film, which we can source for you if required.

Another feature of our polywrapping equipment is that it can be used without film to become a high-speed, multi-station collating / inserting system.

Inkjetting
Inkjetting is a fast and effective way to personalise almost any mail piece. We can inkjet any size ranging from 88mm x 88mm to 350mm x unlimited, we can even personalise obscure shapes.

Our inkjet printers are capable of printing addresses in colour or black ink, PPIs, barcodes and images onto a variety of media including envelopes, postcards, one-piece mailers, CD wallets and even catalogues up to 18mm thick.

Our machines can print TrueType fonts including a vast amount of hand writing fonts at 600dpi as quickly as 10,000 items per hour.

Hand Enclosing
With the varied designs of mailpacks created for today's market (thank you all you award winning creative depts!), hand enclosing remains a fundamental service that we provide. From CDs into plastic wallets, to brochures into polybags, we have the capacity and the capability to turn large volumes around in a short period of time.
