Bulk Mail Tip: mail-aqueous-coating-1

Aqueous coating and inkjet addressing are like oil and water, they just don’t mix. As demonstrated in these pictures, the ink on a coated mail piece can be virtually wiped clean.

Aqueous or UV coating, is a varnish like finish applied by a printer at the end of the printing process. There are a couple of products on the market that claim to print on coated paper, but I have not found one that combines good quality and tolerable drying time.

When placing your print order, request no coating on the address side or a “knock-out” where the address goes.

As a last resort, we can address your mail with self-adhesive labels, but it does not have the professional look that your mail piece deserves.
