FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Save 15% of Mailing Costs and Reduce Waste

July 18, 2007

Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK

Public sector departments are often given conflicting challenges. Recently government offices have been targeted on reducing overall spending. Also, they have been targeted with recycling and green initiatives.

Packaging and mailing services can be a hidden area that can offer major savings. First, organisations often buy standard size envelopes or boxes and then place odd size items into them. This can cause additional costs in wasted packaging, protective materials as well as mailing costs by size or weight.

An organization can save up to 15% in overall packaging and postage costs by thinking through the process of any large mailing. By consulting a packaging specialist, a group can be offered options that are effective in many different ways. First, they can consult on using the most effective size, the lightest paper stock that will still protect the item and inclusion of the most recyclable components.

Many packaging consultants will over free sample making services, offer options on recyclable materials and be able to offer advice on the best postage pricing options between the royal mail and their new competitors. Once the right packaging has been agreed upon, the custom packaging option can usually be prepared and ready for delivery to the assembly location within two weeks.

This is where www.buyersguide.co.uk helps the UK public sector. There are dozens of companies offering packaging and packaging supplies listed on the Buyers Guide website, in particular Postpack, an online packaging company known to offer all of the above criteria who can be found at www.postpack.co.uk.
