Catalogue distribution and Magazine distribution are core specialities of the management team. It’s an interesting area because there are so many distribution options available today.

Despite being relatively unknown compared to the very big players Pli have in fact achieved the critical volume to support negotiations directly with overseas postal authorities thus enabling our rates to be highly competitive. We do not have the same shareholder dividend pressure that some players have and some days we have moved over 40,000 kilos of internationally addressed magazines in the single day!

Wrapping, or inserting, and addressing are carried out on modern high speed lines incorporating the very latest print technology, and to very high production standards, in London W7.

Equipment employed would be as expected in a modern Catalogue distribution and Magazine distribution business and includes high speed 4 & 7 station “STS” wrapping lines on which we can run thin and bio-degradable film. Printing of addresses, indicia’s, logos, return addresses, etc is, if needed, is carried out using the latest “Image or Videojet” systems. Enveloping is carried out on high speed “Grutzmacher” lines.

Obviously we can handle all the necessary data preparation and indeed when appropriate use sorting software for many destinations that don’t work just on postcodes like Eire for instance, in order to benefit from a better prepared distribution and local discounts for pre sorted mail.

We use a network of direct entry points on all the major continents, some being totally our own operations others being proven agents or we run directly into the local postal authorities. In addition we use priority, standard and economy services provided by most of the European Postal Authorities, publication and press post services, downstream access and private postal operators, and post to post direct entry when beneficial.

For those clients concerned about their green credentials, and who have the volumes, we are offering localised insertion into recycled paper envelopes (with a printed "recycled" logo on the envelope). This eliminates flying tonnes of wrapping around the world and the use of plastic film.

For one publisher alone we have saved on the flying of over 20 tonnes of plastic film and carriers per year...
