Micro Mailing Canada
Direct Mail Fulfillment & Polybagging
Micro Mailing Canada provides warehousing, pick, pack and ship, kit assembly, co-packing and high-speed polybagging as part of a full-service direct mail fulfillment operation. Materials are stored securely and released on the schedule your mailing program needs, whether that's a single bulk shipment or ongoing, as-needed release. Polybagging adds the flexibility to combine multiple printed pieces into one mailing and adjust the contents right up until it ships.
Warehousing, Pick, Pack and Ship
As a full-service mailing house, we provide the facilities needed to professionally service every stage of your direct mail fulfillment, from storage through to final delivery. We offer full-service warehousing and fulfillment solutions for your material or products, for individual or bulk shipments, all held in our temperature-controlled secure warehouse. This warehouse supports our broader mailing services, so fulfillment runs alongside the rest of your mailing program instead of through a separate vendor.
Fulfillment is more than storage. Our services include pick, pack and ship, and we also handle kit assembly and co-packing when a shipment needs multiple components bundled into one unit before it goes out. If you're still deciding what to look for in a facility and a process before volume ramps up, it's worth reading how we approach choosing a direct mail processing house.
Light Fulfillment Warehousing
Our light fulfillment warehousing service is built for businesses that need to hold inventory and release it over time rather than all at once. We warehouse your mailings, then address and mail them as you require, so one print run can be split into shipments that go out over weeks or months instead of sitting in your own storage space. Because addressing happens at the point of mailing, this pairs naturally with addressing and labelling already completed on the file.
This model is ideal for information packages and direct mail sales pieces that go out in response to a request, an inquiry, or a sales follow-up rather than on a fixed calendar. If your mailings are personalized to each recipient, our data merge services can prepare the variable content before it goes into storage, so each piece is ready the moment it's needed. It's the most cost-effective way to deliver mailings on an as-needed basis, since you aren't paying to print and store finished pieces you may never use.
Pick, Pack and Ship
We assemble, pack and ship your material or products for individual or bulk orders, including kit assembly and co-packing when a shipment combines multiple items.
Light Fulfillment Warehousing
We store your mailings in a secure, temperature-controlled warehouse and address and mail them as you require, ideal for information packages released on an as-needed basis.
High-Speed Polybagging
Automated polybagging lets you stack any combination of companion pieces into one mailing and change the contents midstream, something a pre-purchased envelope can't do.
Polybagging for Multi-Piece Mailings
Direct marketers use polybagging because of the versatility it gives a mailing. Any combination of companion pieces can be stacked together to form a single mailing, which matters when a campaign includes more than one printed component, such as a catalogue with an order form or a sample insert. If your program includes catalogue mailings, polybagging is often the simplest way to keep several pieces together without a custom envelope.
Unlike envelopes, which are purchased in advance to accommodate exact specifications set during planning, polybagging lets you make changes to a mailing midstream if the contents shift. On the production side, we run high-speed, fully automated polybagging for mailing and packaging, so a change in piece count or configuration doesn't require slowing down output.
What Can Go Inside a Polybag
A polybagged mailing can contain any number of printed items: advertisements with free samples, magazines packaged with accompanying pieces, piggy-backed periodicals, subscription offers, computer magazines bundled with free software, brochures, and statements. If your mailing is a recurring publication with inserts, this is the same approach we use for publications mail fulfillment.
Arguably, polybagging provides the safest, most versatile, least expensive, and most attractive means of moving printed pieces through the mail. Our staff and our investment in current polybagging technology are what make that possible at production speed, and we can prepare a quote once we know what your mailing needs to include.
What makes a mailing work
- Confirm the facility offers temperature-controlled, secure storage
- Decide whether shipments go out individually or in bulk
- Ask whether kit assembly or co-packing is available for multi-item orders
- Choose polybagging if a mailing combines more than one printed piece
- Confirm you can change contents midstream instead of pre-buying envelopes
- Match warehousing to an as-needed release schedule rather than a single print run
Frequently asked questions
What is light fulfillment warehousing?
Light fulfillment warehousing means we store your printed mailings or materials in our temperature-controlled secure warehouse, then address and mail them as you require rather than shipping everything in one batch. It's ideal for information packages and direct mail sales pieces released on an as-needed basis, so you print once and let inventory go out over time instead of holding it in your own space.
What's the difference between polybagging and envelope mailing?
An envelope is purchased in advance to fit exact specifications set during planning, so once it's ordered the contents are largely locked in. A polybag can hold virtually any combination of companion pieces stacked together, and you can change what goes inside midstream if your mailing shifts. That flexibility is why direct marketers often choose polybagging over envelopes for multi-piece mailings.
Can you store my inventory and ship it as orders come in?
Yes. Our fulfillment service covers pick, pack and ship for individual or bulk shipments, along with kit assembly and co-packing when an order combines multiple items. Material is held in our secure warehouse until it's needed, which suits businesses that receive requests or orders on an ongoing basis rather than shipping everything at once.
What items can be polybagged together?
A polybagged mailing can include advertisements with free samples, magazines packaged with accompanying pieces, piggy-backed periodicals, subscription offers, computer magazines with free software, brochures, and statements. If what you're mailing is an invoice, notice, or account statement, the same polybagging line supports transactional mailings that need an insert alongside the primary document.
Do you handle kit assembly or co-packing?
Yes, kit assembly and co-packing are part of our fulfillment services alongside pick, pack and ship. This is useful when a shipment combines several separate items, such as a printed piece with a product sample or multiple components that need to be bundled into one unit before it's mailed or shipped out.
Is polybagging cheaper than using envelopes?
Polybagging is generally considered one of the least expensive ways to move multi-piece printed material through the mail, along with being among the safest and most versatile options. Unlike envelopes, which are bought to a fixed specification ahead of time, a polybag doesn't lock you into one configuration, which also reduces the cost of last-minute changes.
How do I get a quote for fulfillment or polybagging?
Send us the details of what you need warehoused, assembled, or polybagged, including item types and whether shipments go out individually or in bulk, and we'll prepare a quote based on your specific mailing. You can start that conversation through our quote request page.
