Low-cost USPS-certified postal presort software that makes it easy for you to save postage with low USPS bulk mail rates!


You can save up to 55% on postage with bulk mail rates!

Bulk postage rates aren't just for large-volume mailers. If you're regularly mailing at least 200 pieces of advertising, newsletters, or other identical pieces, you can use bulk mail rates. And the discounts are even larger for nonprofits!

Postage $aver bulk mailing software prepares your mailings to USPS requirements so you can qualify for these low rates. You can use it for cards, envelopes, tri-folds, booklets ... you name it!

And, Postage $aver Pro adds full-service Intelligent Mail barcodes to your mail, for more savings and free tracking. Use full-service barcodes on all of your bulk mailings and USPS will waive your annual bulk mailing fee, a $390 annual savings!

Postage $aver does all this for you:

√ Sorts your mailing list file as required by USPS to qualify for bulk rates.

√ Adds Intelligent Mail barcodes (IMbs) if selected (Postage $aver Pro).

√ Prints your addresses in order on popular label formats or directly on your mail. Or prepares and sorts your file for use in a mail merge or variable data printing.

√ Adds optional endorsement lines (OELs) and "or current resident" lines, as applicable.

√ Prints easy-to-follow instructions showing which pieces go in which trays, bundles and sacks for each mailing, and calculates your postage savings.

√ Prints line-by-line instructions for entering your mailing on the free USPS Postal Wizard web form, so you don't need expensive mail.dat software.

√ Fills out and prints the USPS postage statement form, tray/sack tags and other postal paperwork.
