USPS Presort Mail Services: Save Money on Bulk Mailing

Looking to reduce postage costs and improve mail delivery efficiency? USPS Presort Mail services are the smart solution.

USPS Presort Mail allows businesses and organizations to prepare and sort their mailings before delivery to the United States Postal Service (USPS). By meeting USPS requirements, you can access substantial postage discounts and ensure more reliable delivery.

What Is USPS Presort Mail?

USPS Presort Mail refers to mail that is sorted and bundled by ZIP Code prior to being submitted to the post office. When you presort your mail and meet USPS automation standards, you receive discounted postage rates because USPS does less sorting and handling. There is a 200 piece minimum to use bulk mail.

Using USPS presorted mail offers a range of benefits for businesses, nonprofits, and institutions:

Lower Postage Rates

Presorting helps you save up to 20–40% per piece compared to single-piece postage rates.

Reduced Return Mail

Address verification and Intelligent Mail Barcodes (IMBs) improve deliverability and tracking.

Who Should Use Presort Mailing Services?

Presort mail is ideal for organizations that send large quantity mail, including:

Direct mail marketing agencies
Government and municipal offices
Universities and schools
Healthcare providers
Financial institutions
Nonprofits and fundraising groups
Utility and telecom companies

If you're sending 500+ pieces per mailing, USPS presort discounts can significantly reduce your mailing budget.

How Presort Mail Works

Here’s a step-by-step overview of the presort mail process:

Address List Processing
Address data is cleansed, standardized, and prepared to meet USPS requirements through certified software.
Sorting by ZIP Code
Mail is grouped according to USPS sorting guidelines for efficient delivery.
Barcode Application
Each piece is tagged with an Intelligent Mail Barcode (IMB) for tracking and automation.
Postage & Documentation
USPS-required documentation is created, and discounted postage is calculated.
Mail Delivery to USPS
The presorted mail is delivered to a USPS Bulk Mail Entry Unit (BMEU) or other designated location, and the paperwork is submitted electronically.
