Response Services
Business Reply and Freepost
Business Reply and Freepost enable your customers to respond easily and cost free to your outbound
communications.
To get our lowest price simply provide your customers with a pre printed, machine readable envelope,
typically used for many financial transactions and customer orders. This is our PLUS option and is
available for letter format only.
If you want the flexibility of different sizes and weights to come back, then our STANDARD service
covers all options.
Finally, if you want your customers to provide the envelope, and simply handwrite the return address,
then FREEPOST NAME is ideal, as they only need to remember the name, not a postal address. Great if
you are using broadcast media or off the page.

To get more detail on any of these options please visit royalmail.com/responseservices
