'Enter mailing details' help
Mailing name:
Give your mailing a name. This name will show when you look in “My Orders”, and is really just to help you identify your mailing.
Mailing description:
You can also give it a description, but this is not mandatory.
Printing options
There are a couple of options to set here - they boil down to "do you want colour" and "do you want duplex printing".
If you want your mailing to be printed in colour, then tick the box.
If you want us to print on both sides of the paper (duplex printing), then tick this box.
Despatch type
The default selection is standard class. This is the same as second class, so your mailing will be delivered 2 - 3 days after posting. You can choose first class postage, but the mailing will cost more than the normal prices.
Despatch date
The earliest possible date we can despatch your mailing will show. If you want a later date, click on the calendar icon to change it.
Include self in mailing list
Ticking this box will mean you will also get a copy of the mailing, and the address details stored for your account will be used. You will be charged for an extra record.
Address prefix text
In some circumstances, you may want some additional wording in the name and address. For example, if you were sending a mailing to children, it would be normal to address the mailing to “The Parent/Guardian of”.
Address name format
What you select here depends on what you have in your name and address data. You can choose what name format displays in the name and address applied by docmail.
