Pieces Commingled Daily
With our commingle services, we offer 5-digit SCF saturation, the lowest postal rate, to customers who typically wouldn’t qualify. Since our services are provided on-site, we can ensure greater postal logistics flexibility and maintain full control over the timing and management of commingle pools.
In a time of annual postage rate hikes, budget cuts, and shrinking mail volumes, the direct mail industry faces challenges that demand smarter solutions. ICS puts a premium on postal optimization and delivery efficiency with our in-house commingle operation.
Commingling combines mailings from multiple companies into a larger volume to achieve 5-digit SCF saturation—the lowest postal rate often out of reach for individual mailings. This process ensures maximum postal savings while maintaining delivery accuracy and reliability.
If you send marketing mail you can commingle. Whether you're mailing letters, postcards, or self-mailers, if your items meet USPS size and machinability requirements, ICS can help you save.

“ICS saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars in postage when they began commingling our mail - while still meeting mail dates!”
We offer the option of dropshipping or commingling mail in-house. Using an existing mail file, we are able to provide a postage analysis and identify the postal logistics plan that best suits their needs.
By keeping commingle services in house, ICS is able to offer greater postal logistics flexibility while maintaining full control of how and when commingle pools are run. This allows us to balance our clients mail schedules with postal efficiencies to ensure your postal rates remain as low as possible.
We work with several tracking tools, including Intellisent, GrayHair, and Trac&Trace. These programs are very similar, with subtle differences in their interface. Based on their functionality, each tool has various price points. ICS can assist with finding the correct tracking solution to fit your needs.
