Match Rate
Utility billing is one of the highest-volume recurring mail categories in the country. Every household and business on the grid gets a bill every month. The mail has to arrive before the due date, match the correct account, and present usage detail in a format customers can read.
Our pressure seal line is built for utility cycle work. Variable data printing handles the account number, usage graph, tiered rate detail, and remittance barcode on every piece. Presort and commingle capture the lowest available First Class rate. Fixed production calendars tie to your cycle dates for consistent delivery month after month.

Variable content for utility bills
Utility bills carry more variable content than most transactional mail. In addition to account number and balance, every bill includes usage detail (kWh, therms, gallons), tiered rate breakdown, year-over-year comparison graphs, and often service-specific messaging tied to the account status.
Our variable data engine renders all of it. Usage graphs are generated per account from the monthly consumption data in your output file. Tiered rate detail prints based on the rate schedule assigned to the account. Service messaging varies by account status, rate class, and geography.
Service notices and regulatory mail
Utilities also produce service notices outside the monthly billing cycle. Rate change notifications, service interruption notices, required customer notifications under PUC regulations, and disconnection notices all move through the same pressure seal workflow.
Certified Mail is available for disconnection and legal notices that require proof of mailing under state utility commission rules.

Get a QuoteCycle management at scale
Large utilities run multiple billing cycles per month with different cycle dates across their service territory. We build production calendars that handle staggered cycles with reserved production slots for each cycle date.
The same output file format and template serve all cycles. The only thing that changes is the file date and the cycle identifier, which drives the drop schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you render usage graphs from our billing data?
Yes. Our variable data engine generates per-account usage graphs from the monthly consumption values in your output file. The graph style is defined in the template and rendered on every piece.
How do you handle multiple cycles per month?
We build a production calendar with reserved slots for each cycle date. Large utilities run four or more cycles per month on the same template with different file intake and drop dates.
Do you handle Certified Mail for disconnection notices?
Yes. Certified Mail is available for notices that require proof of mailing under state utility commission rules.
Can we include bill inserts or marketing messages?
Pressure seal is a single-sheet format, so traditional envelope inserts are not applicable. Marketing and regulatory messaging prints on the same sheet as the bill, which is usually a better economic and deliverability outcome.
What if our billing system outputs to a legacy format?
We map directly from fixed-length flat files, AFP output, and other legacy formats that are common in utility billing systems. Migration does not require changes to your billing platform.
