Inkjetting & Address Correction Service for GTA Direct Mail
Inkjetting prints validated, Canada Post-compliant addresses and codes directly onto your envelopes or labels, while address correction cleans your mailing list before a single piece goes to print. Together they catch bad addresses early, keep your postage accurate, and make sure Canada Post accepts your mailing without delay.
How Address Validation Works Before Anything Goes to Print
Every inkjetting job starts with the mailing list you send us. We run customer-supplied mailing addresses through special validity software that is Canada Post approved and updated every month, which matters because postal geography changes constantly as streets are added, renamed or reassigned to different delivery routes. A list that was accurate last year can quietly develop errors that cost you undelivered mail and wasted postage.
This is the same address-cleansing discipline behind our broader addressing and labelling work, applied specifically to files headed for inkjet production. Our knowledgeable staff and investment in current technology are what make this step dependable rather than a formality. Before a single envelope is printed, you know your list has been checked against a live, current standard, not an outdated database.
Sorting, Coding and the Reports That Prove Your List Is Clean
Once your list passes validation, we prepare a quote and move the job into production. The software sorts the address file and assigns distribution codes that become part of the destination address itself, rather than sitting off to the side as a separate field. That matters because Canada Post's automated sortation reads the address block as a whole, codes included.
At this point the system generates a full set of operational reports: a bag and bundle report, a validity report expressed as a percentage, a postage-required report, and a variety of distribution reports. These line up with what's published in Canada Post's references and guides, so you can see exactly how your list was scored, how it will be bundled, and what postage it will require before anything ships.
With the list validated, sorted and coded, we inkjet the addresses directly onto envelopes or labels. Every code Canada Post requires as part of a compliant address is inkjet alongside it, so each piece arrives at the mailing stage already carrying everything the postal system needs to route it correctly.
Address Validation
Customer-supplied lists are run through Canada Post-approved validity software, updated monthly, before anything is coded or printed.
Coding & Reporting
Validated lists are sorted and coded, producing bag and bundle, validity, postage-required and distribution reports.
Inkjetting & Dispatch
Addresses and required Canada Post codes are inkjet onto envelopes or labels, then packaged, bundled, bagged, numbered and shipped to Canada Post.
Packaging, Bagging and the Trip to Canada Post
Inkjetting only pays off if what happens next is handled with the same care. We package all of the items to be mailed, then build them into bundles and place the bundles in mailing bags. Nothing is packed loosely or left to guesswork at this stage.
Every bundle and every bag is assigned a number generated by the program, so each unit can be tracked back to its place in the run. The bags are loaded into large steel bins and shipped to Canada Post by truck, completing the same handoff we manage as part of our processing and fulfillment work on every mailing, not as a separate add-on step.
Why This Matters Across Every Mail Format You Send
Address correction and inkjetting are not tied to one type of mailing. Whether you are sending Personalized Mail (formerly Addressed Admail) to a purchased or CRM-based list, dropping Neighbourhood Mail into specific routes, or shipping a Dimensional Personalized Mail sample, the piece still needs a validated, coded and correctly inkjet address to be accepted and delivered.
If your mailing also runs through data merge and personalization, address correction has to happen first, since a bad address undermines a personalized piece the same way it would a generic one; otherwise you only find out the address was wrong after paying to print and merge unique content onto it. Cleaning the list before printing avoids that cost entirely.
Our meticulous attention to detail in processing your mailing is what produces speedy service and strong response rates. The technology we use is meant to save you money while keeping your mailing list current and accurate for the next campaign, not just this one. If you're ready to see what validated, inkjetted mail looks like for your list, request a quote and we'll walk you through it.

Frequently asked questions
What is inkjetting in direct mail?
Inkjetting is the process of printing addresses, along with any codes Canada Post requires, directly onto envelopes or labels as part of preparing a mailing. It happens after your list has been validated, sorted and coded, so the printed address already carries everything needed for the piece to be sorted and delivered correctly.
What does address correction actually check?
Address correction runs your customer-supplied list through validity software that is Canada Post approved and updated every month. It confirms addresses against current postal geography, then sorts the file and assigns the distribution codes that become part of the destination address, catching problems before printing rather than after.
Do you inkjet addresses on envelopes, labels, or both?
Both. Once your list is validated, sorted and coded, we inkjet addresses directly onto envelopes or labels depending on the format your mailing needs, with all Canada Post required codes inkjet alongside the address as part of the same pass.
What reports do I get after my list is processed?
You receive a bag and bundle report, a validity report expressed as a percentage, a postage-required report, and a range of distribution reports. Together they show how the list scored, how the mailing will be bundled, and what postage is required before the job goes to print.
Does this work with Personalized Mail, Neighbourhood Mail or Dimensional Personalized Mail?
Yes. Address correction and inkjetting support Personalized Mail, Neighbourhood Mail and Dimensional Personalized Mail alike, since each format still needs a validated, correctly coded and properly inkjet address to be accepted by Canada Post and delivered to the right household or business.
How does my mail actually get to Canada Post after inkjetting?
After inkjetting, items are packaged and built into bundles, which are placed in mailing bags. Every bundle and bag is assigned a number generated by our program for traceability, then the bags are loaded into large steel bins and shipped to Canada Post by truck.
Why does address correction matter if I'm already using a purchased or CRM list?
Even a purchased or CRM list can contain addresses that no longer match current postal geography. Running it through Canada Post-approved, monthly-updated validity software before printing catches those problems while they're still cheap to fix, instead of after your mailing services budget has already paid to print and inkjet the wrong address.
