Plastic Card Mailers combine the engagement of direct mail with the prestige of a durable card, creating a tangible experience for recipients. These mailers are crafted to command attention in mailboxes, increase open rates, and prompt stronger customer responses compared to traditional paper mailers.

When paired with tailored print messaging and targeted lists, card mailers produce measurable results. Marketers trust this channel for its ability to convey value and create urgency while maintaining a sense of permanence that resonates long after the envelope is opened.

Plastic Card Mailers are ideal for gift card drops, membership drives, and loyalty program enrollments.
