The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) recognized Suttle-Straus with an Innovative B2B Campaign Honorable Mention for their ability to create exceptional and innovative mail campaigns.

The USPS Next Generation Campaign Award is a yearly contest that recognizes innovative and effective Business-to-Consumer and Business-to-Business mail pieces that increase engagement using Informed Delivery, the USPS email preview of mail. 

Our Bubble Gum Scent Mailer designed and printed by Suttle-Straus was one of six Innovative B2B Campaign Honorable Mentions recognized this year.

The Suttle-Straus entry was a personalized mailer featuring digital raised ink and a bubble gum "rub and smell" scented coating applied to the gumballs. The knob of the gumball machine could be turned to drop a quarter and make a gumball appear. See a video of how it was made.

The submissions to The Next Generation Campaign Award showcased a multitude of engagement elements and their combinations, such as physical interactivity, multisensory experiences with scents and textures, colorful envelopes, uniquely shaped mail pieces, personalized messages, and keepsakes.
