Fulfilment
Hand enclosing, Machine enclosing
Mail Fulfilment is an integral part of your direct mail campaign, deciding how to send your mail items to your customers. We will advise the most suitable and efficient fulfilment services to meet your deadline and campaign goals.
Hand Enclosing
Hand Enclosing is ideal when mail inserts should be seen in a specific order or if they require complex assembling.
Key facts for Hand Enclosing:
- Bespoke assembly of your inserts
- Ideal for items that are not compatible with machine enclosing
- Executed by an experienced team
Machine Enclosing
Machine enclosing lends itself to tight deadlines and high volumes due to its speed and efficiency.
The benefits of Machine Enclosing:
- Camera matching to marry up inserts and envelopes
- Time and cost saving
- Multiple item insertion
Hand Enclosing or Machine Enclosing?
Machine enclosing can handle larger volumes in a shorter amount of time than hand enclosing. Which is why where possible our Nottingham Mailing house will machine enclose your Direct mail campaigns.
Hand enclosing requires more time and production staff which is why it is typically the more expensive option. Sometimes it is not possible to machine enclose from unusual sizes to low volumes or bespoke assembly. Our expert team at Eight Days will be able to advise how would be best to enclose and fulfil your campaign.

The Mail Fulfilment Process
In order to get your campaign from our Nottingham Printers to ready for collection from your chosen postal service to get to your customer. Your campaign goes through a series of processes in mailing house in the fulfilment stage. Each campaign has different requirements and has a tailored fulfilment process.
Automated collation, this is where multiple inserts are placed inside an envelope
Automated folding, depending on your campaign requirements we can fold your print in a variety of ways. Half fold, Z fold, Roll fold, Parallel fold, Cross fold and Open gate fold.
Automated envelop closing, is where the machine closes the envelope with its contents inside.
Hand enclosing, by hand we will collate, enclose and close your print into the envelopes ready for sending.
Bundling, packing and boxing, is the last step before collection. Depending on your campaign and its postal carrier we will ensure it is packaged and ready as required for a seamless process.
Collection, is the final stage where we have scheduled your chosen postal carrier to collect your campaign in time for its scheduled delivery date.
