Due to the ingenious design of the Flex DVD, postage cost is
50% less expensive in any bulk-mailing scenario! The flexible
attributes of the disc allow the Flex DVD to move through sorting
machinery at U.S. Postal Service sort facilities without any type
of special handling. The disc is also 33% lighter than its rigid
standard DVD counterpart. Flex DVD also eliminates breakage in
transit by providing a flexible, resilient disc product that will
almost NEVER crack, break, or become damaged in postal equipment.
If your organization is planning on massive marketing and mailing
out a DVD with greet saving and reaching maximum number of audience
your only solution is the Flex DVD with our automated mailer.
CD Digital Card is now please to announce The Flex Media Mailer,
a newly designed packaging solution that has been approved by
the USPS to be mailed out as an automated letter. Since the Flex
Disc is able bend and weighing less than one ounce you can now
send a DVD at the same rate as sending out a piece of paper in
a standard envelope. In other words, you can now bulk mail a DVD
to your client or target audience as low as $0.19 if the mailing
is sorted and as much as $0.27 if your mailing is not sorted.
The rates vary according to quantities and the number of addresses
in a specific zip code. There are a few different ways to mail
an item as mentioned below which will dictate what rate you will
get on postage from the USPS.
Additionally, the Flex Disc is an eco-friendly alternative to
a standard DVD-5. As corporations and organizations become more
and more conscious of their impact on the environment, the Flex
DVD is clearly a significantly more “green” DVD replication
alternative for these same companies to consider. CD Digital Card’s
mastering and replication technology uses one half the polycarbonate
and chemicals that a standard DVD-5 replication process normally
uses. Over time, the benefits to the environment from pollution
and recycling standpoint are truly significant factors. We also
have green options available on the paper stock for the Flex Media
Mailer to make this a completely cost effective and eco-friendly
to get your message to your clients and audience.

the same first 3 digits of the zip code.

ever is left over from you’re the 5 and 3 Digit Sort that

zip code. If what is left over from the 5 Digit Sort and 3 Digit
