    Thanks, to clarify, the address will just on the leaflet with a windowed envelope. Downstream is fine too as there is a bit of time to play with. The leaflets are going to an existing customer database and we'll include a couple of bits personalised information about things they've bought...

I'm leaning towards starting out my own...
