Our international reply mail is an excellent option for reaching out to potential clients and staying in touch with existing clients. It can be included in direct mailing campaigns as response elements (letters or cards). International reply mail is free of charge for recipients, which ensures high response rates.

As an alternative, a PO box must be indicated as the recipient. International reply mail is a standardized process and is thus available world-wide.
