Print Delivery Network FAQs
A print network is a connected system of print vendors that work together to produce and deliver print collateral like brochures and postcards.
Direct mail printing is the process of producing physical mail – like postcards, letters, and self-mailers – delivery to targeted recipients through services like USPS.
Lob's Print Delivery Network (PDN) is the backbone of our Print & Mail offering. By building an integrated, distributed network of professional printers, we simplify client print operations and vendor management on behalf of our customers.
Qualified commercial printers are thoroughly vetted by our print experts and integrated into our PDN ecosystem, enabling our customers to easily access different mail delivery strategies without the hassle of management. The strength of our PDN is predicated on automated production, dynamically-adjusted throughput, and consistency of quality that's on-demand and at scale.
Any mail that is sent through Lob is dynamically distributed to the prints within our PDN, based on a number of factors, including:
- Mail form factor and permutation availability
- Mail volume capacity
- Paper stock and ink availability
- Distance from end-recipient of mail
- Other manufacturing and logistical capacity needs
- Regulatory requirements (e.g. HIPAA)
