Buying answers
Small business mailing supplies FAQ.

What mailing supplies should a small business buy first?
Start with plain white envelopes, rigid mailers only when needed, readable address labels, return labels, packing tape, a scale, and a small set of thank-you cards. Buy one test pack first, mail a sample order, then scale the supplies that fit your routine.
When is Amazon a good supply source?
Amazon is useful for replenishing common mailing materials quickly: label rolls, envelopes, mailers, tape, storage trays, and replacement printer parts. It is not the best source for custom brand pieces until a dedicated custom-print program is approved.
How do you avoid wasting money on supplies?
Do not buy bulk until one complete mailpiece moves through printing, packing, postage, drop-off, and delivery without damage. Track the exact envelope size, label size, printer setting, postage tool, and return-label format that worked.
