Smartmail Bound Printed Matter
Do you send marketing or editorial materials? Does your business distribute publications or manuals? Are these items bound (stapled, glued, stitched or spiral)? If they weigh between 1 and 15 pounds (one item or several together), they qualify as United States Postal Service “Bound Printed Matter.”

DHL Global Mail offers SMARTMAIL BOUND PRINTED MATTER (BPM), a full-service mail solution with a quality controlled process that moves your mail pieces with precision. After picking up your mail, we will sort and process the pieces at one of our nationwide Mail Terminals, transfer them to the destination postal facility and insert the items deep into the mail stream.
