international magazine mailing distribution

BTB Mailflight was founded as a supplier to the publishing industry in 1969, and to date we still specialise in international magazine mailing services. We provide postal services specifically for free subscription and controlled circulation titles, and extra discounted postal services for paid for magazines.

We have partnerships with private magazine distribution companies worldwide, and can access Presstream equivalent services available from international postal services.

We are also one of Royal Mail's largest partners and handle Presstream and Mailsort mailings for hundreds of clients in the UK.

As well as mailing pre-polywrapped and addressed magazines we also have 5 Sitma polywrapping and addressing lines and undertake the fulfilment for most of our magazine and journal publishing clients.


About our international mail postage pricing
We are often asked to explain how are postage prices can be so low? Click here to see our explanation and Contact us for prices.

Reliable Priority and Economy magazine mailing distribution
BTB Mailflight is well known as one of the UK's leading international magazine mailing specialists, and our reputation within the publishing industry is one that we are very proud of. The fact that we mail the Radio Times, and The Guardian Weekly illustrates how reliable our international magazine mailing services are, these titles simply must be delivered on time!

We also manage many magazine mailings where low cost postage is the priority and speed of delivery is less important e.g. bimonthly and quarterly titles, but although our postage prices are some of the cheapest available we only utilise reliable and reputable services with fast and accurate delivery aims and you can view our Mail Management Service Code of Conduct here.

Proof that publishers can trust our services
BTB Mailflight is also a founder member of IMDAS. The International Mail Distribution Accreditation Scheme (IMDAS) is a quality standard, specifically developed by the PPA to test the procedures and processes of international mail distribution.

Polywrapping, addressing, sorting, bagging and tagging
We are experienced in adhering to the requirements of the various postal operators that collect from us. We make magazine mailings ready for collection by Royal Mail (Presstream and Mailsort), alternative UK postal services, international postal operators, and courier companies every day.

A single mailing could use numerous postal indicias, and involve preparing the mail in a variety of ways depending on the country to be mailed and who is delivering it. Wherever possible these processes are automated to reduce costs and improve production speeds and quality. Click here for more details about our polywrapping services.
