All-In pricing: postage handled by BATZ Publishing.

Sell more. Manage less.

BATZ Publishing prints and mails over a million pieces every month, and manages the printer and the USPS on your behalf.

For established direct-mail publishers
with two or more years of profitability

You never see any of it.

Hand us production, printing, mailing, and delivery, and you get the freedom to focus on the things that matter most to your business — your customers, your employees, your success.

The USPS offers postage discounts to mailpieces that meet specific criteria, and every one of them comes with paperwork: registration windows, eligibility rules, and digital samples that have to be submitted and approved before an issue can mail.

BATZ qualifies your publication, handles the approvals, and applies every discount your issue earns inside our All-In pricing. Print, postage, and mail logistics arrive as one number, with the savings already in it.
