The advantage

Why handwritten envelopes work.

The first thing they see

The envelope is the first thing your recipient sees. A hand-addressed one in real ink gets opened where a printed window envelope gets binned, for a few pence more.

Fill them with anything

We address the envelopes and ship them back, ready for your team to fill with letters, cards, brochures, samples or products. Or we post the finished mail for you.

Real ink, real pen

A robot writes each address with an actual pen, so the ink and the handwriting are genuine, not a font printed to look the part.

Personalised at scale

Merge fields write each recipient's name and address, so every envelope is hand-addressed to the right person, across runs of ten or tens of thousands.

Overview

Handwritten envelope addressing in real ink

A handwritten, blue-ink addressed envelope

RoboQuill hand-addresses your envelopes in real ink, with a robot holding a real pen, in C6, C5, C4 and DL. A handwritten name and address is the first thing your recipient sees, and it is what makes them open the envelope instead of binning it. We can post the finished mail for you, or write and ship the envelopes back so your team fills and sends them.

What goes inside is up to you, from letters and cards to brochures, samples or products. Merge fields write each recipient's name and address across runs of ten or tens of thousands. You can write on your own branded envelopes, or we will supply and print them to match.

How businesses use handwritten envelopes.

01

Get your mail opened

Whatever you are posting, a hand-addressed envelope in real ink gets more of it opened and read.

02

Fill and send in your own time

We hand-address the envelopes and ship them back, so your team can fill them with whatever you are sending and post them when it suits you.

03

Cost-effective direct mail

When budget is tight, the envelope is where a small spend makes the biggest difference to whether your mail gets read.

04

Invitations and save-the-dates

Hand-addressed envelopes set the tone for weddings, events and VIP invitations before they are even opened.

05

Statements and important post

Make sure the post that matters actually gets opened, with a handwritten address that does not look like junk.

06

Fundraising and appeals

Hand-addressed appeals get opened, which lifts response and donations on charity and membership mailings.
