What is the last step in the application process for bulk mailings?

Using a Postage Meter for Bulk Mailings

Mailing at bulk prices may not be the right choice for everyone. For example, if your business mails two to three hundred pieces of mail once or twice annually, then it may be more economical to hire a mailing house instead of using bulk mailing. Why? Because bulk mail is an investment: an investment of time, in learning how to sort and prepare your mail, and an investment of money $($paying for a mailing permit and the costs of presorting the mail$).$ As a guideline, if you are mailing a few hundred pieces at a time, three or more times a year, or if you plan to make a large, one$-$time mailing $-$ for example, $5,000$ flyers to announce a big sales event$-$bulk mail may be a good deal for you.

One way to pay for bulk mail is to use a postage meter. A postage meter prints postage directly onto your mail $($or onto a meter tape, which you apply to your mail$).$ Postage meters are a convenient way to pay for postage and track postage costs for your business or organization.

To acquire a postage meter, contact a postage meter manufacturer.
