Avery Design & Print vs Mailjoy

Avery Design & Print is a free web tool for designing labels and other printable Avery products. Start from a blank template or customize a prepared design, then add text and uploaded images. Image tools crop, size, and position uploads; text tools offer straight or curved lines and typography choices. For variable data printing, mail merge can import contact information and other data from .xls, .xlsx, and .csv files. Its barcode generator makes barcodes and QR codes and supports sequential numbering. Projects can be saved to a computer without an account, or to a free Avery account with one, and shared by email through project links. Google Drive can supply Google Sheets data for merging or Google Photos for a design. Print with an inkjet or laser printer, or use Avery WePrint to have a project professionally printed and mailed. Avery says its online design tools protect data in transit and storage with TLS and SSL and do not sell images or content.

Mailjoy is a self-service web and API service for designing, mailing, and tracking personalized postcards and letters. Its drag-and-drop editor provides templates, uploaded artwork, previews, and shareable PDF proofs. Recipient data can personalize mailers, while imported contacts can be organized into lists and segments based on conditions such as location or mailing history. Mailjoy describes recipient-level delivery and conversion tracking, campaign reporting, and conversion notifications. Shopify syncs customer data and supports segmentation from order activity, tags, and other Shopify information. Zapier connects it with more than 5,000 apps, and a REST API is available to Mailjoy Pro customers. The homepage says full-color pieces are mailed within two business days using First Class postage and expected 2–4 business days after mailing. Listed prices include 90¢ per standard postcard, $1.20 per large postcard, and $1.50 per wide postcard or letter, with print, postage, and tracking included.
