Opportunities for savings

We know these cost increases are a tough pill to swallow, but there is some good news.

The USPS will be bringing back the postal promotion campaigns in 2022, some with even more savings!

Tactile, Sensory, and Interactive Engagement along with Informed Delivery will offer a 4% discount in 2022 (up from 2%), while Personalized Color Transpromo will offer a 3% savings (up from 2%). There will also be a 3% savings level offered for Emerging & Advanced Technology.
