Serving Central Maryland Small Businesses for 40+ Years

Using extensive research and data to deliver high ROIs to clients, Valpak has served businesses in Baltimore, Columbia, Ellicott City, Frederick, Laurel, Owings Mills, Reisterstown, Towson and surrounding communities since 1976. Charm City continues to be one of the nation’s leaders in health care, education and technology while Fortune 500 companies have set up shop in the suburbs. However, it’s the small to midsize businesses that keep Baltimore stable and growing.

Direct Mail Products

As a result of constant design testing and improvements, Valpak is recognized as the national leader in direct mail advertising. Our high-quality direct mail products are printed at our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, the Valpak Manufacturing Center (VMC), which utilizes the latest advancements in automated systems to produce an impressive output of more than 16 billion ads every year.

  • Direct mail coupons – Valpak’s most popular – and affordable – product since 1968. These miniature billboards are delivered to targeted households in Valpak’s famous Blue Envelope and helped us establish our reputation in the direct mail space.
  • Flyers/circulars – Some businesses, like restaurants and car dealers, need more advertising real estate and that’s where our direct mail flyers come in. A larger-print format of our signature coupon, flyers and circulars are the ideal solution for promoting menus, special sales and seasonal events.
  • Specialty formats – A recent Harris Poll found 58% of consumers aren’t interested in joining a program that requires them to download and use a digital app. Our premium direct mail cardstock provides an excellent alternative. Distinctive bar codes can be printed on each cardstock piece to track responses and confirm one-time usage.
  • Valpak neighborhood-targeted postcard – An affordable postcard that mails with, but not inside the Valpak envelope, enabling you to utilize a turnkey postcard solution without the high price tag. Inventory is extremely limited.
  • Customizable postcards – A completely customizable alternative for businesses looking to elevate their 1-to-1 marketing efforts. Valpak solo direct mail postcards arrive in hyper-targeted mailboxes based on selected demographics, including household size and income.
