Can I upload my own print ready design files?

Yes! If you already have a direct mail campaign design done, we will print it for you after you upload and complete your campaign order. Files should be packaged as print-ready PDFs or you can upload your AI, PSD, INDD, or other design format directly. Max file-size upload is 64MB.

If there are any issues with the print files, we will help you correct them or provide specific file specifications to you and your designer.

More FAQ Archives

What information do I need to have ready before starting my campaign?

  • Campaign objectives and goals.
  • Budget considerations.
  • Design assets or ideas.
  • Target audience details.
  • Preferred delivery dates.

How does PostNow work?

We simplified direct mail campaign ordering by putting together a “campaign in a box” solution that saves you time and cost on direct mail campaigns under 100,000 pieces.

  1. Build your direct mail campaign
  2. Pay for your campaign (print, data & postage fees all included)
  3. Request design changes
  4. Approve your campaign design & data/audience target
  5. Sit back and relax

How do I pay for my campaign?

We pre-authorize your credit card for the campaign total in order to confirm your campaign. Your payment is then processed before your campaign goes to print, but not before your design, data & quantity are finalized.

How do I choose the right type of mail for my campaign?

  • Personalized Mail: Targets specific individuals with customized messages.
  • Neighbourhood Mail: Reaches all households within a specific area or postal route.
  • Postal Code Targeting: Allows precise targeting based on demographic or geographic data.

What campaign size formats do you offer?

PostNow currently offers 3-4 various campaign size options for each type of direct mail. The direct mail campaign size formats shown are all in inches.

  • Postcards
    • 5.5 x 8.5″
    • 6 x 12″
  • Letters
    • 8.5 x 11″ in an envelope
    • 8.5 x 14″ in an envelope
  • Folder Cards
    • 5.5 x 8.5″ folded (11 x 8.5″ unfolded)

While other sizes are available to print, the standard options made available were picked because of the balance between standing out in the mailbox and still being cost-effective to produce with our print equipment.

How do I target Neighbourhoods?

You can use our Neighbour Mail Audience Builder to target select neighbourhoods. Here’s a short 2-minute demo on how to target a neighbourhood, including adding demographic filters.

Note you only need to outline the area you want to target. We will use the Precision Targeter tool to find your campaign’s matching neighbourhoods and households.
