One plant behind the campaign
Print, finishing, lettershop, data processing, and postal preparation stay on one operating plan. That reduces schedule risk from vendor handoffs and keeps white-label production accountable.
- White-label production and blind shipping
- Black-and-white addressing and approved variable fields
- Inserting, folding, matching, and special handling
- Presort, documentation, and planned USPS entry
Built to protect the agency relationship
The agency stays client-facing. We work from the approved specifications, keep DIS Direct branding off trade work, and protect the account relationship throughout production and delivery.
Creative boundaries that affect the RFQ
The plant does not run a digital press, print envelopes, bind books, staple booklets, or produce color variable imagery. Letter packs require supplied or preprinted envelopes. Build those constraints into creative development and vendor scopes before final approval.

Frequently asked
- Can DIS Direct work completely white-label?
- Yes. Trade work can be produced and blind-shipped without DIS Direct branding so the agency remains the visible partner to its client.
- What should an agency include in an RFQ?
- Include quantity, versions, format, stock, ink, supplied components, black-and-white variable fields, proofing, finishing, mail class, geography, and the target drop or in-home date.
