More of every dollar reaches the cause.
- Giving appeals, donor packs, alumni newsletters, event invitations
- Data-driven and personalised — the mail that actually gets opened
- Bulk Australia Post lodgement keeps the cost per donor down
- Timed to giving season, graduations and reunions
Physical mail still does what email can't: it gets held, opened and kept. For appeals and alumni programs, a well-made letter to a clean list reliably out-performs another message in a crowded inbox — and every dollar saved on production and postage is a dollar that reaches the library fund, the scholarship or the building appeal.
We run the whole campaign mechanically: tidy the list, personalise each letter, print, insert, and lodge in bulk with Australia Post at discounted rates. You write the story; we make sure it lands in the right letterboxes for the least possible cost.

Printing & mailing for TAFEs & colleges →How we do it
Behind every job sits our production network — capability at a scale a single school could never justify owning, available to you one project at a time.
Data management
We tidy your mailing list before a single page prints — formatting, de-duplication and clean-up, address validation against Australia Post's own address database, and change-of-address updates.
Printing
Digital print for small runs, sharper pricing on volume. Full colour or black and white, personalised to each recipient or generic — letters, booklets, magazines, posters and more.
Mail processing
Folded, inserted, wrapped — untouched by anyone at your office. Barcode-matched inserting keeps multi-piece personalised mailings together, and magazines can be plastic-wrapped with a compostable option.
Lodgement & delivery
Lodged in bulk with Australia Post — postage discounts passed on — across every mail category from letters to Print Post, Charity Mail and parcels. Or delivered anywhere in Australia by courier.
Alumni, fundraising & direct mail — common questions
Does printed fundraising mail still work?
Yes — direct mail consistently earns higher response rates than email for donor appeals, especially with older alumni. The winning pattern is a personalised letter, a clear ask and a reply-paid envelope, sent to a clean list.
Can each appeal letter reference the donor's history?
Yes — any field in your data can appear in the letter: last gift, preferred fund, class year. Personalised asks measurably lift response.
Our alumni list is years old — is it usable?
Usually, after a clean-up. We de-duplicate, fix formatting and flag undeliverable addresses before printing, so you don't pay postage on mail that can't arrive.
What does a typical appeal cost per donor?
For a personalised letter, envelope and reply device at typical school volumes, all-in costs commonly land around $1.50–$3.50 per pack including discounted postage. Your quote breaks it down line by line in AUD.
Can you handle reply-paid envelopes?
Yes — we print reply-paid artwork to Australia Post's specification and include it in each pack, so donating is as easy as sealing an envelope.
What is Charity Mail and do we qualify?
Charity Mail is a discounted Australia Post lodgement category for eligible registered charities — many school foundations, building funds and university advancement offices qualify. If your appeal is eligible we lodge it at the charity rate, and the saving shows on your quote.
Can you reach alumni overseas?
Yes — international pieces are lodged through Overseas Bulk Mail at discounted rates in the same run as your domestic mail, so expat alumni get the same appeal at the same time.
