Infopost and Catalogs

INFOPOST enables you to send addressed promotional direct mail and catalogs to your customers at an especially attractive price.

Efficient Product Promotion through Mailings

Contents

Use INFOPOST to send written communication and documents or data carriers such as CDs, diskettes and cassettes. Items may also contain free trial packs, product samples, promotional articles and third-party enclosures (components from other senders). Merchandise intended for sale is not permitted, with the exception of books, brochures, newspapers and magazines.

Identical contents

As a rule the contents must be identical in terms of the quantity and nature of the enclosed written documents, promotional material, data carriers, samples and third-party enclosures. They must also be identical in terms of packaging design, format and franking. For detailed information on this requirement please refer to the product brochure.
