Silver EDDM Printing Package Buying Guide

The Silver EDDM package is one of the available direct mail printing options. This guide explains the decisions to make before selecting it, including delivery coverage, artwork preparation and the full campaign budget.

When Should You Consider the Silver Package?

Consider the Silver package when its current dimensions, printing quantities and specifications suit your planned promotion. Compare the actual product details with your artwork requirements and intended USPS mailing method.

Confirm the Mailpiece Size

Review the Silver package's finished dimensions on the product page. Consider the space needed for your promotional offer, photographs, contact information and postal addressing area. Do not assume that all EDDM package sizes have the same artwork requirements.

Calculate Your Required Mailing Quantity

Identify the USPS carrier routes you want to reach and verify their current eligible address counts. Compare the required total with the printing quantities available for the Silver package before ordering.

Prepare Artwork for Production

Use the current printer-provided template and confirm bleed, trim, safe areas, resolution and postal panel requirements. Proofread all offers, telephone numbers, URLs and expiration dates before final approval.

Review Postal Eligibility

Verify the selected mailpiece meets current USPS requirements for the mailing service you intend to use. Check dimensions, thickness, weight and preparation requirements before committing to production.

Compare Total Campaign Expenses

Include printing, artwork, postage, preparation and any applicable distribution services. The quoted printing price may not include every expense associated with a completed mailing.

Compare Silver With Other EDDM Packages

Review the Bronze, Gold, Platinum and Diamond options if you need different finished dimensions, available quantities or creative space. Compare actual specifications and prices rather than assuming that package names indicate a particular mailing benefit.
