The Coupon Panel

How the optional 3” information panel works:

When you print your FastStart fold-over postcard mailer, you can print your choice of two different versions.
  • • Version #1 is a 5 ½” x 8 ½” fold-over postcard self-mailer that opens to become an 8 ½” x 11” sell sheet.
  • • Version #2 requires you to print the fold-over mailer with the extra 3” tail as part of the artwork. When opened, it becomes an 8 ½” x 14 ½” self-mailer. You can use the extra space for a variety of purposes: coupons, a map to your location, photos of your staff, various promotional ads or messages, or pictures of your building, delivery vehicle, or front counter.
