Hybrid Mail has launched in the UK with several providers able to offer both colour and mono mailing solutions. The service allows small and medium companies to reduce costs by up to 40 percent, and almost unbelievably it is also up to 80 percent greener.

How Does Hybrid Mail Work?

Hybrid Mail reduces the need for a printer, printer cartridges, and stationary, and you don’t even need to go to the post box (or have the mail collected). For less than the price of a stamp the hybrid mail company will provide paper, an envelope, print the letter, enclose it and stream the mail item into the postal delivery service.

Why is it greener mail?

Whichever Hybrid Mail company you select will combine letters to be printed into larger volumes, and therefore print on very efficient printers. They even sort the letters to enable postal discounts to be generated that only larger companies can usually achieve. As the mail is sorted it can be sent via a postal carrier directly to the nearest postal delivery point (in most cases), this reduces the transportation normally undertaken when mail is sent in smaller volumes. This reduction does reduce CO2 emissions considerably but in addition many of the hybrid Mail providers can also offer enhanced eco solutions.

How do I use a Hybrid Mail Service?

Usually all you need is internet access and an account. Some of the larger companies offering Hybrid Mail can also provide integrated solutions, such as API installations to allow a large number of users to collaborate with one account but most small to medium business have found the web based interface completely sufficient. With full colour solutions also available it’s really easy to brand your mail items as required, but its worth noting that the mono based solutions can also present graphics but at a much cheaper price.
