If you’ve ever Googled handwritten direct mail in the UK and then had a small financial wobble at the prices, you’re not alone. A lot of providers treat handwritten marketing like it’s a luxury handbag – lovely, but only if your budget has a private jet. Pen Written Post exists to fix that.

We make handwritten direct mail UK businesses can actually afford, with ethical, transparent pricing that doesn’t suddenly sprout extra fees when you look away.
Here’s the bit you really want to know:
- Prices from 90p for handwritten letters + envelopes
- Prices from 40p for DL-sized handwritten compliment slips
Why Ethical Pricing Matters in Handwritten Direct Mail
Handwritten direct mail works because it’s personal. It feels like someone actually took the time – not like you pressed “send to 10,000 people” and ran away. But too many services slap on inflated costs because handwritten marketing sounds premium.
We’re not here for that.
Ethical pricing at Pen Written Post means:
- Fair rates whether you’re small, corporate or scaling
- More value in the mail itself, less fluff in the invoice
In short: affordable handwritten direct mail that still looks and feels the business.
Handwritten Direct Mail Still Wins (Because Humans Still Live Here)
Email is great. We love it. But inboxes are basically packed commuter trains at rush hour – loud, cramped and full of things you didn’t ask for.
A handwritten-style letter arriving through the door?
That’s different.
Handwritten direct mail cuts through because:
- People notice it
- People read it
- People remember it
It doesn’t feel like marketing. It feels like a human reaching out if written correctly (and yes, we can help you with that!) which is exactly why it works for:
- lead generation
- customer thank-you campaigns
- review requests
- reactivation mailers
- event follow-ups
- local outreach
- Nudges at renewal time
Basically: if you’re speaking to humans (and we assume you are), this helps.

What You Can Send (With Prices From That Make Sense)
Handwritten Letters & Envelopes – prices from 90p
Ideal for personalised direct mail campaigns, sales outreach, customer retention, VIP invites — all that good stuff where tone matters. These are the classic handwritten letters UK customers actually open, because they don’t look like mass marketing (even when they are).
DL Handwritten Compliment Slips – prices from 40p
Small, mighty, and brilliant for adding a human touch without a human workload.
Perfect for:
- order inserts

Handwritten Envelopes Only – prices from just 45p each
If you only need the envelopes (no letter inside and sent to you to add your own letters in – we won’t take it personally), we’ve got you.
Our handwritten envelopes on their own are priced from just 45p each, and they’re not flimsy afterthoughts either. You get a high-quality envelope that looks smart, feels premium, and gives your mail that instantly personal “this isn’t junk” vibe before it’s even opened. Perfect for brands who want to add handwritten warmth to their own inserts – without paying for anything they don’t need.
