  • Fill out a Bulk Mail Request Form, (BKM), available from the warehouse and send it to Center for Print Production.
  • If you currently receive mailing labels from an outside source, have this information sent as an electronic file to yourself or to bulkmail@ithaca.edu or placed in our Mentor shared folder: Mentor_Shared_CtrPrintProd_Files for Print Media_Campus
  • Refer to the number in the top right corner of the BKM.
  • Do not send address labels or order address labels and apply them and then send the envelopes to Bulk Mail -you will be charged full first class postage for these, as our equipment cannot automate for USPS discounts.
  • When you send the address file electronically, software verifies the accuracy of the address, sprays a zip+ 4 bar code and sorts it for highest discount with the USPS.
  • We currently do not have software that can automate mailings in window envelopes. Window envelopes are sent first class.
  • A non-profit standard mailing, properly prepared, can be sent for as little as .132/piece.
