Services
As mailing professionals we understand how important each customers mailing is to the success of their organization.
We know that each mailing represents a significant amount of capital and that our customers are looking for the
maximum amount of return on investment. Each mailing also represents trust. We never forget that our customer has
entrusted us with the responsibility of representing them to their customers or potential customers.
There are no second chances to get it right, each mailing must be processed correctly and on time.
Since 1996 America Direct has been accepting that responsibility and our company has grown because we remember
these simple truths.
America Direct has a complete range of mail processing services. Our mail room equipment offers high speed
production that not only keeps our prices competitive but also allows us to offer quick turnaround time.
We have quality assurance checkpoints throughout the entire production process to ensure that each job is
being processed according to specifications.
Design Services
America Direct can handle all of your design needs, from concept to layout. Whether you are a utility
company needing an updated format or a first time mailer, we can help you achieve the look you want.
If you have already designed your mail piece we encourage you to let us review it before printing to
ensure that all United States Postal requirements are met, thus avoiding costly postage surcharges.
