***Please allow three(3) University business days for processing***

    Jetmail is the process through which Mail Service Center (MSC) compares and corrects address lists against the USPS database.  This allows you to send out your mail at reduced rates.  The fee charged includes address hygiene, address updating, presorting, generation and application of address label and tabbing if required. 

The fee is $0.05/piece.

Step 1:    Contact MSC to discuss mail piece design and processing before going to print. 

• Basic Mail Piece Design Must Do's located here.
• If mailing Non-Profit, check this link also.

Step 2:    Fill out Bulk Mail Job # Request Form on MSC website to receive a MS Job #. 

• This should be done no more than ten days prior to expected mail date.  The MS Job # is used to identify and match the bulk form to mailing lists and mail pieces.

Step 3:    Send mail piece to be printed.

• Mail pieces must be identified by a MS Job # whether they are delivered by Printing Services, vendors or a University department.
• Allow for extra printed mail pieces due to mechanical setup and possible malfunctions.  All extras will be returned to department.
• Use caution when selecting paper types.  Avoid light paper stock, slick finishes and sloppy folds.  These do not process well.

Step 4:    E-Mail address list to msc@ilstu.edu.

• Designate the MS Job # in the subject line.
