How Hybrid Mail Works

From Desktop to Delivery: A Simplified Process

Hybrid mail facilitates mailing by automating each step of mailing process from document creation to final delivery. Here’s a detailed look at how it works.

Comparing Hybrid and Traditional Mail

Traditional mailings can be labor-intensive and incur high cost, involving multiple production steps like printing, sorting, and franking.

Hybrid mail, on the other hand, streamlines these tasks, automating them for greater production efficiency and reduced cost. Businesses no longer need to invest money in franking machines or large quantities of stationery.

Step One: Create Your Document

Using familiar desktop software like Microsoft Word, you create your outbound mail just as you normally would. This step ensures that you maintain control over the content and format of your communications.

Step Two: Upload and Submit

Once you create your intended correspondence, you upload it to a secure web portal. This secure solution portal acts as a bridge between your digital letter and the physical mailing procedure. You can submit mailing documents and send mail as individual documents or batch files for larger mail runs.

Step Three: Print and Package

After submission, the hybrid mail provider takes over to create the print out. The documents are printed using high-quality printers that ensure professional results. The print can handle various formats, including letters, brochures, and invoices. Once printed, the documents are folded, inserted into envelopes, and prepared for mailing.

Step Four: Send Mail

The final step involves the actual mailing process. The solution provider manages the logistics, including sorting and distributing the mail through postal services like Royal Mail. They ensure that the documents are delivered promptly and efficiently, often taking advantage of bulk rates and postal discounts.
