Hand enclosing provides a flexible fulfilment solution for mail packs that are not suited to automated production. At Central Mailing Services, hand enclosing is used where complexity, variation or presentation requirements demand a manual approach, ensuring accuracy and care without forcing jobs through inappropriate machinery.
Flexible Hand Enclosing for Complex Mail Packs
Hand enclosing is ideal for projects involving non-standard formats, varied pack contents or items that cannot be processed reliably on automated lines. This includes mixed inserts, samples, irregular shapes or campaigns where pack configuration changes frequently.
Our experienced fulfilment teams assemble mail packs manually under controlled conditions, allowing each component to be handled correctly and consistently. This approach ensures pack integrity while maintaining flexibility throughout the production process
Hand enclosing is often used for lower-volume campaigns, bespoke mailings or projects where presentation and precision are critical. It provides the freedom to build packs exactly as required without the constraints of fixed machine formats.
Examples of Hand-Enclosed Items
Typical items assembled by hand include product samples, sachets, booklets, loyalty cards, membership packs, welcome packs, promotional gifts, irregular-shaped items and multi-part mailings where contents vary by recipient. Hand enclosing is also well suited to campaigns requiring careful collation of mixed materials or premium presentation.
Manual processes are supported by clear work instructions, quality control checks and verification procedures to ensure accuracy throughout production. Where required, hand-enclosed packs can be combined with other services such as wrapping, enveloping or postage optimisation to create a complete fulfilment solution.
Control, Quality and Attention to Detail
Hand enclosing allows a high level of control over how mail packs are assembled, making it suitable for sensitive communications, premium campaigns and projects requiring careful handling. Each stage of the process is monitored to maintain consistency and reduce the risk of errors.
As part of our wider fulfilment capability, hand enclosing complements automated services by providing a practical alternative when automation is not appropriate, ensuring the right production method is used for each job.
Our hand enclosing service is used by both direct clients and trade partners who require flexibility, reliability and attention to detail. By integrating manual fulfilment into our wider production environment, we ensure complex mailings are delivered accurately and efficiently, without compromise.
