HUMS’ Bulk Mail Services includes addressing, inserting, tabbing, folding, and sorting of high-volume First Class and Standard Mail for all the schools, and departments of the University.  Bulk mailings are those with 200 or more identical pieces that are to be sent at Standard rates and must be accompanied by USPS documentation certifying that the mailing conforms to USPS regulations. Such mailings may require addressing, folding, inserting or other processing by HUMS or other vendors.

HUMS offers “NCOA-Link” address cleansing service. By updating address databases, undeliverable addresses are eliminated, saving on costs of postage and printed matter.

Prior to submitting the request, it is recommended that departments contact HUMS to discuss scheduling, conformity with USPS regulations, and other aspects of the mailing.  Our Mail Piece Design experts can ensure that University departments create the most effective direct mail piece.  HUMS can assist with internal mailings to University departments and international mailings.
