Postage Metering

Outsourcing your organization's postage affixing and metering is another way to save costs and improve processing speeds.

BlueGrass Mailing, Data, and Fulfillment Services can process your mail through our Metering Department with the ability to track within your organizations' multiple departments the number of pieces by weight and postage amounts. Our metering personnel are well trained with the most up to date metering equipment and computerized tracking software systems.

An organization's cost for metering has become an expensive proposition. In addition to the meter rental and the purchase or lease of the meter base, you have the additional costs of the inkjet cartridges averaging approximately $5-8 per 1000 metered impressions. Many meter manufacturing companies charge surcharges for software changes when postage rates change. US Postal Service shape-based postage rates have further complicated meter personnel training. As many companies know, postage expense can be substantial, therefore, having qualified and well-trained personnel is essential.

Outsourcing your postage metering to BlueGrass Mailing has several additional benefits. We guarantee that postage meter amounts on your mail will be correct. All letter size First Class envelopes, 2 ounces or less, are co-mingled with other First Class Mail and processed at lower postage rates. Complete documentation of your mail processing is available daily.
