Snap pack mailer (Letter Printing & Mailing)
Our snap packs are genuine pressure seal forms, fully perforated and glued on all sides. We do not offer "imitation snap packs" which are not true pressure seal forms.
Recipients can easily open this mail piece by tearing off the marked perforated sides. These forms can be personalized with either black and white or color graphics. Due to space limitations, additional inserts like business cards cannot be included. Mail merge data can be printed on one or both sides.
Direct mail snap packs are designed to capture immediate attention, often containing urgent information or attractive offers such as checks or rebates. Their distinctive shape and layout make them hard to ignore, prompting almost everyone to open them right away. Our snap pack direct mail services offer a cost-effective alternative to other direct mail marketing strategies.
Snap packs also known as pressure seal forms are an economical and effective form of mailers that are ideal in a variety of industries such as real estate, loans, mortgage, and insurance.
- Paper type: 28 LB white sheets. Some forms have a blackout on the back that cannot be printed on.
- Please make sure you download our templates to ensure your design will fit properly on the forms since this has about a 0.5" perforated edge for tearing.
- Bleed: The forms can NOT be printed full bleed (printing all the way to the edge of paper) since no printing can be done on the perforated edges.
- The postcard snap pack has a USPS restriction explained in section 6.2.9 Double Cards of the USPS Domestic Manual here.
FAQs
A snap pack mailer is an 8.5x11 or 8.5x14 sized sheet of paper that is folded in half or trifolded then glued and pressure-sealed and then finally perforated around the edges for easy opening. The sealed edges must be “snapped” open by tearing along perforated edges. This type of mail piece looks like an official document, often used for financial notices, rebate checks, or time-sensitive information. At iti Direct Mail, we print, seal, and mail these for you. They are eye-catching and professional, and because they feel official and look interesting, they’re much more likely to be opened and read.
Snap pack mailers are great for financial institutions, law firms, insurance agencies, utility companies, service providers, and even political campaigns. They’re especially effective when you want your message to look important and secure, like appointment reminders, rebate notices, billing details, or urgent updates. They can also be used as a personalized letter without the envelope. If you want to get attention while still looking professional, a snap pack is a great way to do it.

And to save even more money we also provide predesigned snap pack templates so you can customize your own mailer using our free online design tool.
Absolutely. That’s one of the main reasons they’re so widely used for sensitive communications. Once sealed, snap packs are tamper-evident and can’t be opened without showing signs of damage. We also follow strict data handling protocols at iti Direct Mail to ensure that your information is printed, processed, and mailed securely.
