If you didn’t already know, direct mail continues to pull higher response rates than email. With that in mind, why not take your traditional direct mail pieces to the next level?

Dimensional mail is a form of direct mail that puts an emphasis on engagement through creative, playful designs. Unlike traditional mail (e.g. a postcard or flyer), dimensional mail comes in various shapes and sizes, and incorporates design elements that the receiver can engage with.

To inspire your next direct mail campaign, we’ve compiled a list of some of our favourite dimensional mail pieces.
