Our Expertise
High Volume Direct Mail
At J&Q we specialize in large volume production. We produce several hundred million mail pieces every year, using the latest technology in data processing, security, personalization and lettershop. Our facility and expert staff print, image and mail window and closed face letter packages, as well as postcards and self-mailers and other custom communications.
Personalization
Studies have shown that targeted, personalized mailings consistently generate high response rates. J&Q offers several variable printing options to meet all your direct mail objectives, including high-speed color inkjet, digital color, read/write envelope printing and card imaging.
Color Inkjet
J&Q specializes in high-speed full color inkjet production. The entire direct mail piece is printed in one pass providing unlimited versions and customization to each recipient. Color photos, images and copy can be pulled into each piece based on each person's purchasing history, age, geography or other specific information in the data. MICR checks can also be printed on one of the presses using MICR toner. The more relevant the offer, the more likely the person is to respond, increasing return on marketing investment.
Warehouse and Inventory
J&Q's on-site warehouse provides paper and component storage for ongoing programs and quick turns. An ERP system manages components with bar-code tracking, as well as inventory and usage reports.
