Key Takeaways
- A virtual printer lets you "print" a document by posting it — without owning a printer.
- Upload a PDF or image, enter the delivery address, and PostPal prints it on quality paper and posts it via Royal Mail.
- Flat pricing: £4 in the UK, £8 worldwide.
- Ideal for signed forms, contracts, and official documents you need to send on paper.
What Is a Virtual Printer?
Plenty of things still have to be sent on paper — a signed contract, a form an organisation won't accept by email, a document that needs a wet-ink signature. But buying a printer for the occasional page makes no sense.
A virtual printer solves this. Instead of printing at home and walking to the Post Office, you upload your document online and it comes out the other end as a posted letter. PostPal's virtual printer does exactly this.
How It Works
- Upload your file. A PDF or image — the document exactly as you want it printed.
- Enter the address. Recipient name, street, post town, and postcode. County is optional in the UK.
- Pay £4. That covers printing, envelope, Royal Mail postage, and delivery.
We print your document on quality paper, fold and seal it in an envelope, and hand it to Royal Mail the next business day.
When to Use It
A virtual printer is handy whenever you have a document ready to go but no easy way to print and post it:
- Signed contracts and agreements
- Government and council forms
- Letters to HMRC or other organisations
- Official documents that must be sent on paper
- Anything you'd otherwise print at a library or copy shop
You can attach up to 5 files to a single letter, so multi-page documents and supporting paperwork all go in one envelope.
