Plan for realistic time lines. Please be sure to give yourself and your suppliers sufficient time to complete the various proofing and production tasks. Doing so will reduce stress.
Once production has begun, please be sure to send enough material. This is for backup in case some material is spoiled during shipping, setup and production.
Be sure to use properly sized envelopes. Using an envelope window wide enough to fit your addresses and supplying any additional Canada Post letter carrier codes or US Postal Service automation codes will make delivery much more efficient.
