Each format hs its own schedule of weight-band charges.You can minimise your postal costs by understanding how the system works, and by employing the following strategies, you can exploit it to make substantial savings on your direct mail campaigns.1) Smaller is CheaperIt now costs more to send an A4 size letter. So fold the letter, put it in a DL or C5 envelopes and cut at least 12p from the postage cost per item.2) Losing Weight Wastes MoneyThe weight bands applicable for each item format have been revised to create fewer, wider bands.
