Every Door Direct Mail Carrier Routes — USPS

An EDDM (Every Door Direct Mail) route is a USPS carrier delivery route used to deliver mailers to every address along that route — no mailing list required. Routes are defined geographic segments assigned to individual mail carriers. Businesses use EDDM routes to target specific neighborhoods, ZIP codes, or communities with postcards, flyers, and other mailers at reduced postage rates.

To target EDDM routes, use the USPS EDDM mapping tool to filter routes by ZIP code, demographics (age, household income), and address type (residential or business). Once you select your desired routes, Minuteman Press of Chantilly handles printing your mailers to USPS-compliant specifications and submits them directly to USPS on your behalf for delivery.

EDDM-compliant postcards must meet USPS size requirements — typically at least 6.125" on the longest side or 11.5" maximum. Minuteman Press of Chantilly offers EDDM-eligible sizes including 6x9 and 6x11 jumbo postcards, printed on heavy gloss, silk, or cardstock paper options to maximize visual impact in the mailbox.

No — that is the key advantage of EDDM. Every Door Direct Mail delivers to every address on a selected USPS carrier route without requiring a purchased or curated mailing list. This makes EDDM ideal for businesses targeting entire neighborhoods, ZIP codes, or delivery areas such as real estate farming zones, restaurant delivery areas, or retail trade zones.

Minuteman Press of Chantilly supports EDDM campaigns with a minimum quantity of 200 pieces and a maximum of 10,000 pieces per order. Quantities should align with the total address count of your selected carrier routes. For larger campaigns spanning multiple routes or ZIP codes, custom volume quotes are available upon request.
