Glue-Bind Pre-mailer Job Checklist

Two-way mailers, catalog order form inserts, comment mailers and perforated reply cards.

  • Minimum sheet width is 7″ and maximum sheet length is 22″. If the sheet length is over 17-1/2″, it must be at least 8-1/2″ wide.
  • Grain direction must run with the folds. Grain wrong setup is $100.00 and an additional 5% may be added to the run charge.
  • The caliper of the stock must be between .0045 and .0065. An additional 10% is added to the run charge for matte or gloss coated stock.
  • An over run for setup and waste is required. The minimum is 300 or 10%, whichever is greater of the finished count.
  • Because of critical panel sizes needed for accurate folding, it is recommended that ECS trim your stock to the one-up sheet. Critical folding register of pre-trimmed stock cannot be guaranteed. A $100.00 per hour cutting charge will apply.
  • We can fold 3, 4 or 5 panels into a glued pocket with 1 or 2 perfs and a re-moisten gum strip all parallel with the folds. Check whether your piece will be roll folded or double parallel folded.
  • To find the correct price group, count the panels your piece has. Remember to count the glued pocket as panel 1 and 2.

Quick tips

  • Let ECS trim your stock for the best folding register.
  • Check the pre-mailer FAQ for full details.
