Address cleansing

Central Mailing Services uses a cleansing process that will help you and your department save money. Address files are run through a software program that cross references the addresses with a U.S. Postal Service data base. The addresses are then updated through a process called NCOA Link. Central Mail sprays these updated addresses onto your outgoing mail pieces.

Using updated mailing addresses will save you money not only through better postage rates, but also by ensuring that none of your mail pieces are returned for improper or incorrect addresses. Address corrections from the Postal Service can cost 70 cents per returned mail piece, plus additional postage in some instances.

Call Bulk Mail with questions or to make arrangements for address file cleansing.
