Ink is a powerful API-first platform for businesses looking to automate physical mail, printing, and shipping, but its lack of transparent pricing can be a hurdle for smaller companies.


Ink provides on-demand printing, shipping, and mailing services for businesses through a unified platform and API.

Ink is a logistics-as-a-service platform designed to help businesses manage their printing, shipping, and mailing needs. The service provides a centralized dashboard and a robust API for programmatic access to a nationwide network of commercial printers and shipping carriers.

Use cases include sending direct mail campaigns, shipping e-commerce orders, printing business documents like checks and stationery, and tracking packages from all major carriers in one place.
