Production turn times are based upon when BMS receives the final client print approval and quantity unless you have a contract in place.  

Please allow 3 – 5 business days from clients final print approval for processing, printing, and mailing, of course we will mail sooner if ready.

  • All approvals after 8:30 AM E.S.T. do not count as same business day, next business begins the clock.

Yes.  We can design and print any postcard or most mail pieces.

You do not have to have your own permit in order to take advantage of bulk mail postal discounts.  We have permits for all classes of mail – Presort First Class, Presort Standard, etc.

Our clients can print our permit on the mail piece / envelope and BMS can prepare the mailing file to meet the appropriate USPS standards which allows you to capture the postage savings

TRANSACTIONAL

Yes. BMS can create a completely custom bill design to meet your needs, including special messages, your organization’s custom logos, and charts and graphs (depending on data availability).

For bills sent by mail you pay based on the number of pages per envelope. The more pages in an envelope the more you save on material and postage. Our advanced technology allows you to set rules that will maximize the number of pages you can include in an envelope without unnecessarily delaying the sending of your bills.

We offer a secure FTP site that allows you to upload your billing files which are then sent to BMS for processing.  Our technology will identify how the bill is to be delivered (U.S. mail, fax, email, or web) and which of our regional facilities will send the bills going by U.S. Mail.

Through our billztrack web portal you have the ability to view your bills prior to our processing.   You securely login to the portal, select bills you do not want sent and then approve the processing run prior to BMS sending.  You can provide a list of select samples, or we will randomly select them for you.
