First Class Mailers, Inc.

First Class Mailers, Inc. is proud to be Madison’s premier 1 stop mail house. Started in the back room of a local print house in 1962 First Class Mailers has held permit number 1 for over 45 years. From the early days of Cheshire glued on labels to today’s high speed ink jetting formats First Class Mailers has been at the forefront of the industry. Even in today’s depressed economy our customer base is still strong and we continue to show profits and growth.

Bruce Virgin and his nephew Duane McGowan took the helm in 1999, having purchased the business from Bruce’s brother, Glenn. Electronic data transfer was making paper labels obsolete. Bruce and Duane brought First Class Mailers into the new century poised to stay “ahead of the curve” in mail processing services.

First Class Mailers offers inkjet addressing, mechanical inserting, precision folding, wafer sealing, CASS certifying and NCOA processing. We also have a group of “on call” employees to take care of all types of hand assembly work, including fulfillment services and guaranteed letter to envelope matched inserting.
