Put your message in every mailbox on the carrier routes you choose.
Every Door Direct Mail lets local businesses reach complete neighborhoods by USPS carrier route instead of purchasing individual names and addresses.
Star MailHub and More helps with route selection, mailer design, USPS-compatible printing, bundling, facing slips, paperwork, and delivery to the appropriate post office.
Neighborhood-level reach without names, address labels, or a purchased list.
Choose Carrier Routes
Target complete postal routes around a ZIP Code, service area, neighborhood cluster, or business location.
Reach Every Address
USPS delivers the mailer to every eligible residential or business address on the selected routes.
Use a Larger Mailpiece
EDDM uses qualifying flat-size pieces that provide more room for offers, services, maps, photos, and calls to action.
Avoid Mailing Lists
No individual names or purchased address database are required when the goal is full-route neighborhood coverage.
EDDM works best when nearby households are the audience.

EDDM is simple for the recipient—not necessarily for the mailer.
The piece must meet current USPS size, weight, addressing, indicia, bundling, route, paperwork, and entry requirements.
We review the campaign before production so the print piece and mailing plan are built around the same rules.
The postcard must qualify as a USPS flat—not an ordinary small postcard.
Common EDDM Formats
- 6.25 × 11 inches
- 8.5 × 11 inches
- Other qualifying oversized formats
- Single- or double-sided designs
Current USPS Retail Limits
EDDM Retail currently requires at least 200 pieces and allows up to 5,000 pieces per day per ZIP Code. Larger campaigns may require a different USPS entry method.
We Confirm Before Printing
USPS rules can change. We verify the selected size, paper, weight, quantity, routes, and required markings before the campaign moves into production.
Choose the area, build the mailer, approve the proof, and let us prepare the campaign.
Send the project details
Upload the logo, copy, offers, images, existing artwork, and preferred campaign area.
Choose the routes
We review ZIP Codes, carrier routes, delivery counts, audience fit, and campaign quantity.
Build the mailer
Use finished artwork or have the Creative Hub prepare an EDDM-compatible design.
Approve the campaign
Confirm the proof, routes, quantity, postage, production cost, and expected schedule.
Print, prepare, and submit
We print, bundle, prepare the paperwork, and deliver the campaign to USPS.
Use the mailing method that matches the audience—not simply the lowest postage line.
Choose EDDM When

- Nearby households are broadly relevant

Choose Targeted Direct Mail When
- You need named recipients

- You need personalization
- You want narrower demographic or account targeting
Not Sure Which Fits?
We can compare route coverage, list needs, quantity, piece format, preparation, postage, and campaign intent before you commit. See our Direct Mail Services.
EDDM is a planned local campaign, not a last-minute print order.
Allow 10–14 Business Days
Plan on at least 10–14 business days from final artwork approval through printing, preparation, and USPS submission.
Tell Us the Real Deadline
Event dates, grand openings, promotions, seasonal offers, and expiration dates should be identified before the routes and artwork are finalized.
Think Beyond One Drop
One mailing can create awareness, but repeated, coordinated outreach is often more useful than expecting one postcard to create an immediate flood of response.
Common questions before planning a campaign.
Do I need a mailing list?
No. EDDM uses complete USPS carrier routes rather than individual names and purchased address lists.
Can I mail only selected streets?
EDDM is selected by complete carrier route, not by choosing individual houses. Route boundaries do not always match neighborhood names or simple street-radius maps.
Can you help select the routes?
Yes. We can review route maps, delivery counts, ZIP Codes, nearby service areas, and the practical fit for the campaign.
Can you design the mailer?
Yes. Our Creative Hub can prepare a new mailer or adapt existing artwork to the selected format.
Does the postage go directly to USPS?
Postage is a separate campaign cost governed by current USPS rates and entry requirements. We confirm the process and amount during campaign planning.
Can EDDM be rushed?
EDDM is not a reliable rush service. Route planning, design, proofing, printing, bundling, paperwork, submission, and postal delivery all require time.
