SingPost Admail vs Door-to-Door Flyer Distribution
Postal direct mail and door-to-door distribution can both put printed material into residential or business environments, but the preparation, cost structure and operational control are different.
For current specifications, turnaround guidance and quotation details, see our flyer distribution in Singapore page.
Postal campaigns follow mailing specifications
Size, weight, addressing and preparation may need to meet current postal requirements. These should be confirmed before the final print specification.

Door-to-door activity depends on physical coverage
Quantity planning is tied to estates, blocks, households and the chosen distribution method. Operational access and restrictions matter.
The right choice depends on the campaign
A campaign needing addressed communication may suit postal delivery; a local awareness campaign may use physical distribution. Compare actual objectives rather than assuming one method is universally better.
Plan the campaign before choosing the print quantity
Distribution works better when the target audience and response method are defined before printing. Identify the estates, businesses, event visitors or mailing list you intend to reach, estimate realistic coverage and then add a practical reserve rather than choosing a round quantity first. Match the format to the channel: a compact flyer may suit door-to-door distribution, while a postcard or envelope can suit direct mail. Use a dedicated QR code, landing page, phone number or offer code so responses can be attributed to the campaign. After the first run, compare actual enquiries with the distribution area and quantity; that information is more useful for the next order than simply repeating the same number of pieces.
What to send when requesting a quotation
For a useful quotation, send the finished size, paper or material, printing sides, quantity, finishing requirements, print-ready artwork if available, required date and delivery location. If any item is still undecided, explain how the printed piece will be used so a suitable specification can be suggested. For an urgent job, include the exact time by which the completed item must be collected or delivered. This avoids quoting a specification that cannot realistically meet the deadline.
QPS can help align the print specification with the intended distribution method.
