Baltimore is a city of about 570,000 people, with ZIP codes 212 covering the city and 210 and 211 the surrounding counties, at the center of a metro of 2.8 million that borders the Washington metro to the south. The city is rowhouses: Federal Hill, Canton, Fells Point, Hampden, Highlandtown and dozens of other neighborhoods of attached homes on dense residential routes, with the Roland Park and Guilford neighborhoods of detached homes in the north. Baltimore County wraps the city with suburbs from Towson and Pikesville to Catonsville and Dundalk; Howard County (Columbia, Ellicott City) and Anne Arundel County (Annapolis) carry some of the highest incomes in the country.

Baltimore mails through its hospitals and universities, which mail donors and patients nationally; through real estate agents farming the waterfront rowhouse neighborhoods and the northern suburbs; through home services companies serving rowhouse roofs, heaters and plumbing; and through the restaurants, dental practices, private schools, churches and nonprofits that mail the city and the counties.

Answers

Direct mail in Baltimore: questions people ask

How much does direct mail cost in Baltimore?

Direct mail in Baltimore is quoted for the city and the job rather than from a national price list, because how a Baltimore list sorts, where the mail is entered and how many pieces you send all move the number. A quote covers printing on a 5×8.25 or 6×11 postcard, mail processing and USPS postage, stated separately. Send the size, the quantity and the ZIP codes or neighborhoods through the quote form and a written Baltimore quote comes back, usually within a business hour, at up to 60% less than the big online printers.

Can you mail Columbia, Towson and Annapolis with Baltimore?

Yes. Routes and lists across Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Howard County, Anne Arundel County and Harford County can be included in one mailing and entered together.

Does EDDM work in Baltimore rowhouse neighborhoods?

EDDM in Baltimore is quoted for the routes and the quantity you choose, because the cost of an EDDM drop depends on how many carrier routes it covers, how many pieces go to each post office and which 6×11 stock you pick. USPS EDDM Retail postage is the same in Baltimore as in every other city. Send the routes or the ZIP codes and the quantity through the quote form and a written Baltimore quote comes back, usually within a business hour, at up to 60% less than the big online printers.
