Mail Prep
Page 1 Printers uses AccuZip software to CASS certify, sort and maximize postal savings for our clients. The following are a few simple guidelines to ensure the smooth download and preparation of a mail list.
Source File Transmission:
Send the source file to your customer service representative.
Source File Types:
We accept customer mailing list files or we offer specialized procurement for residential or business lists. We support a variety of file types. The most commonly used file types are:
- Delimited (usually with a comma)
- MS Excel File
Source File Records:
All records in the source file MUST have the same number of fields to insure correct record importation. For example: If any record has a company name, then the file must contain a company field, even if the company field is left blank for other records. Refer to record #1 in table below.
Each field must contain proper information to insure each record is encoded for proper delivery. For example: An address entered into the company field would leave the address field blank. Refer to record #2.
Apartment numbers, suite numbers, etc. should be entered into a separate field. Refer to record #3.
If a PO box is the delivery address then it should be entered into the Address 1 field. The Address 2 field should be left blank. Refer to record #4.

Common Address Field Errors:
These are not US Postal delivery addresses and will not be encoded for proper delivery.
- Intersections: Rte 111 & Rte 25, Corner of Main & Spring, etc
- Building names: Main Library, Wexford Building, etc.
- College campus address or box number: Campus Box 14, Science Building, Smith College, Room 118, etc.
