Small enough to care,
Big enough to cope
This is what we do
We are a leading partner to the charity sector;
producing every element of your Direct Mail campaign.
Be it envelopes, letters, raffle tickets, newsletters and flyers,
we design, print, finish, personalise, enclose and post
- no mailing is too big or too small.
Our name, SEALE, pronounced ‘see-lee’,
is an acronym created from the first name initials of the original five members of
staff who were integral in getting the
venture off the ground.
“​We’re an honest,
client-focused business
that genuinely cares.
We believe it is this
which sets us apart
from the rest.”
Why choose
Seale?
Google ‘direct mail companies’,
and you’ll likely be overwhelmed by
the huge choice on offer in the UK;
often full of grandiose stats, shiny stock photos, and boasts of high profile clients.
​Here at Seale, we cut through all the noise, with our simple, honest approach.
We're a single
source supplier
Almost everything is printed
in-house. Although some of our envelopes are printed externally by trusted suppliers, we take care
of it all so you don't have to.
We're very
competitive
​
Charity budgets are tight,
especially since the Pandemic
and ongoing cost of living crisis.
With this in mind, we'll always aim
to give you the best possible prices.
We're super
helpful
Our dedicated team will walk
you through all aspects of your
campaign, offering guidance
and advice, at all stages.
We're highly
experienced
​
Our staff are experts in their
respective fields. We're proud to maintain a high level of excellence. Every aspect of your campaign
is in safe hands.
We're incredibly
efficient
​
On average, we can get a
mailing out within 3 weeks from approval of artwork, sometimes
even quicker depending on
the time of year.
We really
do care
​
It can be easy to lose that personal touch; treating clients more like numbers than people. We take the
time to treat our clients with the
care and respect they deserve.
“The power of
great direct mail
is undisputed.”
Our Story
We at Seale consider ourselves to be
a young, yet established business.
This is because the Seale team previously worked for Ha'Penny Press, which in 2019
was acquisitioned by a rival company
and subsequently closed, making
everyone redundant.
Anna, our Managing Director, thus began negotiations with local supplier PJ Print Ltd
to help start a brand new company.
PJ quickly saw the fantastic opportunity
at hand and invested; safeguarding the jobs
of 5 people and ensuring a seamless
transition for our clients.
​
And so in February 2020, Seale was born,
with an experienced and proven team
already in place, and the ongoing support
of it's many loyal clients.
We were off to a flying start,
but then came the Pandemic.
​
Most businesses have endured difficulties throughout the Covid-19 Pandemic and Seale was no different; with an initial downturn in sales and cancellations as charities were forced to re-assess their methods of fund raising; but we persevered and stayed open
to support our clients in developing and fulfilling their new strategies. We have gone from strength to strength ever since.
Getting in touch is easy!
​
Anna is the friendly voice on the end of your phone.
She will happily talk through your requirements and make suggestions on the best and most effective course of action
for your campaign. She can tailor a quote that works for your budget and plan a timescale that works to your deadline.

What we can offer you
Design Services
​
Once you’re happy to proceed,
we pass you over to our free, bespoke design service. Alex, our resident designer, will create onbrand,
beautiful and attention-grabbing artwork; liaising with you throughout
to ensure perfection.
Never fear, if you already have your
own designer, simply send us your
print-ready artwork. We can tweak
your previous artwork too if you
prefer this to a full redesign.
Raffle Tickets
​
Raffle tickets are a great way to fundraise; adding a fun, exciting and financial motivation to your campaign.
​
We design them to match the rest of your campaign artwork; print and finish (perfing the stubs and gluing the books), then enclose them into your envelopes; all at a great price!
Personalisation
​
We go the extra mile to perfect
your data, at no extra cost!
Be it deduping or simply taking
the time to ‘tidy up’, Ellie, our Production Manager will make
sure your personalisation is clean, accurate and professional.
​
Data cleansing is also available
as an extra service.
​
We personalise by way of lasering;
using a Ricoh 8320 mono laser printer that is capable of both simplex or duplex print on paper or board.
​
In addition to this, we use an
S1 colour Astrojet printer to personalise enclosed packs, magazines and
short runs of envelopes.
​
We share an office with sister company PJ Print. Their state of the art presses (both lithographic and digital) are able to produce superb, eco friendly print, allowing us to offer the best rates
to clients without compromising
on quality.
Our colour Ricoh digital press can print all paper stocks, so we're able to offer short runs of leaflets, postcards and letters which in turn can be personalised at the same time.
Finish & Enclose
​
Our experienced operators Shaun
and Dean will finish your product,
such as trimming, folding, die cutting, laminating, saddle-stitching or perfing.
In June 2021 our brand new BB700 S2 enclosing line was installed (custom built in Germany by W+D), which has increased our productivity, made Shaun and Dean's life much easier and ultimately future-proofed the business.
It has 8 stations: 6 rotary feeders,
1 shuttle feeder and a modified friction feeder which allows us to enclose multiple raffle books in one pass and gives us the capability to enclose some open sided items.
We can match up to 4 different personalised items, and with its auto mismatch and sequence recovery system, you can trust us to enclose your campaign accurately and efficiently.
Postage
​
We will sort, bag, bundle and release
the finished product to Royal Mail; ensuring your campaign drops on your audience’s door matt in no time.
