At Direct Mail Services, we provide high quality proud and sample attaching services, helping you add value to your direct mail and stand out from the crowd.

Adding a give away or peel off item can add dramatic impact to a standard letter or insert. Promotional items engage the customer and increase brand awareness, and our customers have reported significant uplift in response rates by simply adding a peelable card to their letters.
