Lunch Totes – Flat Postage• Lunch totes continue to be a

back end fulfilled premium of high value. Although some versions of lunch totes typically mail at parcel rate postage averaging $1.62 each – newer versions including this polyester foil lined zippered lunch tote qualify to mail at flat postage of approximately .80 each. Test this idea at quantities of 2500 pieces including postage for under $4/each.

Tyvek - Not Just for Envelopes• Tyvek is a trademark product

with extraordinary strength qualities. It makes sense that in time the same technology would be applied to a tote format. Enhancement options include the addition of a snap or velcro closure, side pocket and 100% full color printing. The tote assets provide a big value – 14-1/2” x 14-1/2” large with a 5” gusset – and of course, qualifying to mail at flat postage rates.

Non Woven Coasters

• Imagine a 3 ply non woven coaster with full color embroidery. Consider mailing one coaster “up front” as a teaser and fulfilling the balance as a thank you gift for a donation.

• They’re light weight – colorful and can mail at letter or flat postage rates, depending upon the quantity inserted.
