When choosing paper for direct mail, most marketers insist on a couple of key attributes: they want superior optics and a unique tactile quality that grabs attention, and they need predictable postage costs. Opus PS is engineered with exactly those characteristics in mind. From dynamic color, to superior glue-ability and fold-ability, to the reliable 7pt and 9pt caliper grades that help you estimate shipping costs before you print, Opus PS meets the needs of nearly any direct mail campaign.
