What is the minimum quantity?

DIS Direct has a firm minimum of 150,000 pieces. Include versions and waves in the RFQ so the production team can confirm how the quantity fits the schedule.

Does DIS Direct print envelopes?

No. Letter packs are supported when the project provides supplied or preprinted envelopes that meet the inserting and postal specifications.

Can another printer or agency use DIS Direct white-label?

Yes. Trade work can be produced and blind-shipped without DIS Direct branding while the partner keeps the customer relationship.

What stays inside the Itasca plant

DIS Direct performs its production work in-house. Keeping press, lettershop, data processing, and postal preparation together gives the job one schedule and reduces uncontrolled vendor handoffs.

Postcards, self-mailers, and supplied-envelope letter packs
Folding, inserting, wafer sealing, tabbing, and custom sorting
Black-and-white addressing and approved variable text or codes
CASS, NCOA, presort, IMb, drop shipping, Seamless Acceptance, and Mail Anywhere

Best-fit jobs

The strongest fit is a high-volume program, recurring drop, capacity gap, complex lettershop job, or time-sensitive mailing for a printer, agency, or program owner. White-label work can be blind-shipped without DIS Direct branding.

Know the production boundaries before quoting

DIS Direct does not run a digital press, print envelopes, bind books, or staple booklets. Personalization is black and white. Letter packs are supported when envelopes are supplied or preprinted. Stating those boundaries early prevents an RFQ from being priced around the wrong equipment path.
