Who we help · Printers & mailers
Accurate, mail-ready data for the jobs on your floor.
Printers and mail houses win when the data behind a job is right the first time. We supply lists, process client files and deliver data in the format your production requires, so your team can focus on production and your customers get answers from people who understand mail.
What gets in the way
- Client files arrive with duplicates, bad addresses and inconsistent layouts.
- Customers ask you where to get a list, and you want a reliable answer.
- Postal requirements leave no room for data errors.
- Production windows are tight and data problems surface late.

Questions
What printers & mailers usually ask
Yes. A large part of our work is with agencies, printers, mail houses and publishers who order data for the clients they serve. We can deliver to you or directly to your production partner, and we keep the project conversation with you.
Yes. AVS can prepare and process mailing data, append walk sequence information, perform CASS/NCOA processing, and provide files in the format required by the customer or production partner. We can send files straight to your mail house or printer.
Excel and delimited text files (comma, tab, pipe or colon) work well. Fixed-width text files are fine with a file layout. We deliver in the format your printer, mail house or CRM needs.
CASS (Coding Accuracy Support System) is the USPS program that certifies address-matching software. CASS-certified processing standardizes addresses to USPS format, adds ZIP+4 and delivery point codes and flags addresses the software cannot match.
It is a basic requirement for most presort and automation postage prices, and it catches many problems before they become returned mail.
NCOA refers to the USPS National Change of Address data, accessed through the NCOALink system. Processing a list against it finds people and businesses that filed a permanent change of address and returns their new address where one is available.
Mailers claiming presorted First-Class Mail or USPS Marketing Mail prices must meet the USPS Move Update standard, and NCOALink processing within 95 days before the mailing date is one of the approved ways to meet it.
