It's $1.50 or so to send one catalog w/ a few pieces of paper.
Anymore than one catalog and you should just send it in one of the priority envelopes- where you fit as much as you can in the envelope for around $5 (postage just went up).
Also, the priority envelopes (which you pick up at the post office or you can order them I think) are free and they look more professional then a plain envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to mail a Pampered Chef catalog?
The cost to mail a Pampered Chef catalog typically depends on the weight of the catalog and the mailing method you choose. Standard postage rates for a single catalog can range from $0.55 to $1.50, depending on whether you use first-class mail or bulk mailing options.
Are there bulk mailing discounts for sending multiple catalogs?
Yes, there are bulk mailing discounts available if you are sending multiple catalogs at once. The United States Postal Service (USPS) offers bulk mailing rates that can significantly reduce the cost per catalog when mailing in larger quantities.
Can I use a regular envelope to mail a catalog?
While you can use a regular envelope to mail a catalog, it is recommended to use a larger, sturdy envelope or a flat mailer to protect the catalog during transit. This may slightly increase the mailing cost, but it ensures that the catalog arrives in good condition.
What is the best way to calculate mailing costs for catalogs?
The best way to calculate mailing costs for catalogs is to weigh the catalog and check the current USPS rates based on the weight and size. You can also use online postage calculators provided by postal services to get an accurate estimate.
Are there any additional costs associated with mailing catalogs?
In addition to postage, there may be costs for envelopes, labels, and any promotional materials you include with the catalog. It's important to factor in these additional expenses when budgeting for your catalog mailing campaign.
