A bulk mail list is produced in which all the address entries in the list are in order by bundle, with separators providing an indication of the divisions between bundles. Utilizing a computer and printer, a bulk mail sorted list of address labels is automatically produced. The zipcode, city, and state of each address entry in a random address file is entered into the computer, and the computer automatically sorts all of the address entries in the file according to bulk mail criteria. That is (for a third class mailing) all entries ten or more in number having the same zipcode are provided in a bundle, each ten or more entries having the same city of multi-zipcode cities are provided in a bundle, all entries of ten or more having the first three digits of the zipcode the same are provided in a bundle; all entries of ten or more having the same state designation are provided in a bundle; and any remaining entries are in a mixed state bundle. The address file must contain at least 200 hundred entries. The separator labels that are printed between each bundle sequence of labels preferably includes a designation of the bundle code (e.g. "D", "3", "S", or "C") of the entries in the following bundle, and the number of labels (particularly if 50 or more) in the previous bundle.
