Capabilities, equipment, Full-Service MSP, Seamless, and eInduction.
Phoenix Flats Sortation
How Phoenix flats-only addressing tracks pieces, auto-diverts bad pieces, supports controlled reprint/recovery, and protects bundle sequence; MCS Eagle covers letters/booklets with Cognex Camera Verification.
Camera Verification
Per-piece variable-data verification on the addressing machine: every mailpiece is photographed, decoded, and compared against the final reference file. Failed reads auto-divert; a per-job summary PDF is provided.
Address List Tool
Upload a mailing list and standardize it to a clean CSV. Optional deduplication by address or householding (combine recipients at the same address into one line per household rules).
Drop Ship Plan Calculator
Upload a list and see piece counts by destination USPS facility (SCF/LPC). Useful for planning destination-entry pallets and trays.
Piece Size Tool
Upload a PDF and we'll measure the final print size and tell you whether the piece mails as a USPS Letter or Flat. Uses the same TrimBox-aware sizing as artwork preflight.
Mail Piece Weight Calculator
Pick a paper stock and finished piece size to get the weight per piece in ounces plus the USPS class tiers it qualifies for. Useful for postage planning before you commit to a stock.
In-Home Date Estimator
Choose a mail class and entry date to see the expected in-home delivery window based on USPS service standards. Includes drop-ship reductions for SCF and DDU entry.
Indicia Block Generator
Generate a print-ready USPS indicia block (PNG or PDF) for permit-imprint mail. Pick the class + presort level, enter your permit number and city/state, and drop it into your artwork.
