Holiday Mailer Quandary? We Can Help.
We’ve helped alleviate holiday-related stress for customers by fulfilling their year-end greetings on time, on target and on budget for over 80 years. That’s a lot of eggnog, and a lot of experience taking the anxiety out of conveying that perfect message during a truly hectic time, whether it’s in the form of a card, booklet or dimensional mailer. In addition to having mad print, finishing and kitting skills, Homewood’s team knows the ins and outs of postal regulations and policies to help make production and distribution of your project as seamless as possible. Here are a few tips to help ensure we can bring your well-wishes to reality and into the hands of your clients before they wind up 2018:
1. Submit your art file(s) as early as possible! Procrastinators risk being rewarded with a lump of coal!
2. Let us know if any special stocks, inks, die cuts, finishing or bindery techniques are needed. We can accomplish many coating, finish and bindery processes inline, helping save you time and money. However, special-order items or tasks can add to lead time.
3. See #1.
Above all, be sure to contact us with any questions or a heads-up about your upcoming holiday greeting or customer appreciation project needs. Chances are we have a more efficient way to meet your objective, helping keep your holidays peaceful, happy and bright. |
Outside of design − paper stock, special coatings and die cutting are popular ways to differentiate printed marketing elements, sales tools and literature. But, just a reminder, binding is another means to make your next piece pop. Depending on the method selected, it can add high-end, industrial or glamourous appeal 
Looking for an easy way to get noticed without breaking the bank? Then Homewood postcards are for you! Our inline production process can laminate, trim, perforate and apply special coatings – taking your project from a digital art file to the post office in a single step – saving time and money while helping get your message noticed. 
Holidays Part Deux:
Consumer confidence continues on the upswing due to a strengthening US economy, meaning more goods are being produced, packaged, promoted and purchased. This also correlates to an increased need for wood pulp and industrial capacity to make packaging materials, including shipping cartons. Coupled with the continual surge in eCommerce, the demand for kraft and corrugated is infringing on resources to produce specialty and graphic-quality paper traditionally used for collateral marketing material. This phenomenon is sometimes referred to as “the Amazon Effect.” Of significance, the reigning champ now has a slew of competitors joining the eCommerce ranks, notably traditional brick-and-mortar retailers Walmart and Target. And, adding to the perfect storm of high demand was the shutdown of nearly 20 paper mills in the southern U.S. last year due to Hurricanes Harvey and Irma.
