Do I need a mailing list for EDDM?

No named list is required. You select carrier routes; USPS delivers to every address on those routes using a simplified address format.

Can DIS Direct handle multi-market EDDM programs?

Yes. We regularly produce high-volume EDDM across many routes and markets with consistent print quality and postal prep.

Is EDDM postage the same as print cost?

No. Postage is set by USPS; print, finishing, and preparation are separate. See our EDDM cost guide and current USPS Notice 123 rates.

EDDM Printing & Mailing

High-volume EDDM printing and mailing.

EDDM, or Every Door Direct Mail, reaches every delivery address on selected USPS carrier routes without a named mailing list. DIS Direct prints eligible postcards and self-mailers, prepares route-level bundles and paperwork, and enters high-volume saturation mail from our Itasca production campus.

Every Door Direct Mail saturates carrier routes without a mailing list. We produce USPS-compliant EDDM postcards and self-mailers, prepare the paperwork, and enter the mail at production scale.

When EDDM fits

Local retail, healthcare, political, and franchise programs use EDDM when geography matters more than a named list. Each selected route covers every delivery point, which can be efficient when the offer is truly local.

EDDM Retail vs. business mail entry

USPS offers EDDM Retail, with simplified entry and daily piece limits per ZIP Code, as well as higher-volume BMEU and Marketing Mail saturation paths. Program-scale work usually needs a plant that can manage production and business mail entry rather than a small retail counter drop.

EDDM at program volume

Online postcard shops optimize for one-off SMB orders. We optimize for volume, trade overflow, and programs that need the same piece across dozens of routes with consistent color and induction timing.

Postage and production costs

EDDM postage is published by USPS (see Notice 123 / the EDDM product page). Print and lettershop cost depends on size, ink, quantity, and how many routes you drop. See our EDDM cost guide for a clearer breakdown, then talk to us with route counts and a target drop date.
