If sending your opt-out request by email, use this helpful template for Colorful Images:
Hello, I'm writing to request that Colorful Images permanently remove my address from all direct mail lists, including lists you keep and any rented or third-party lists used to source your mailings. The name and address to remove as they appear on a recently delivered unwanted mailer: [NAME] [ADDRESS] [CITY ST ZIP] A few notes for your direct mail team: • I have never subscribed to marketing communications from Colorful Images. • Since I haven't opted in with you directly, the source is most likely a rented or co-op list. Please also flag this address with your list partners so it's suppressed at the source. Please confirm in writing once the suppression is complete. I've attached an image of the mailer for reference. Thank you, [NAME]
Replace the bracketed fields ([NAME], [ADDRESS], [CITY ST ZIP]) before sending. Attach a photo of the mailer if you have one, and keep the reply for your records.

Phone
Call Colorful Images at +1-800-272-9209. Ask to remove your name and mailing address from promotional mail. A phone request can take 5 to 10 minutes or longer, depending on the phone tree, hold time, and whether they offer a callback.
What to Expect After Opting Out
- Allow 8 to 12 weeks for marketing mail to taper off. Print and mail drops are often scheduled weeks ahead, so one or two mailings may still arrive.
- Order confirmations, policy documents, billing, and other account mail are separate from promotional appeals and may continue if you remain a customer or donor.
- A new purchase, donation, or account update can put your address back on a marketing list and require a fresh opt-out.
- Sister catalog brands such as Current Catalog or Lillian Vernon use their own lists until you opt out with each sender.
Why Do You Receive Colorful Images Mail?
Colorful Images has sold personalized return address labels, stationery, checks, and home-office goods by catalog since 1987, claiming ‘the world’s largest selection of personalized paper products’ (over 3,500 address label designs). Its site cross-promotes sister catalogs Current Catalog, Lillian Vernon, and Fine Stationery; catalog mailings continue alongside the shoppable online catalog.
You typically land on the list after a purchase, inquiry, donation, or a data partner share. Related names that may still mail separately include Current Catalog, Lillian Vernon, Fine Stationery.
How to Prevent General Junk Mail Proactively
DMAchoice — DMAchoice is the Association of National Advertisers’ mail preference service. An $8 registration asks participating national companies to suppress your address from prospect promotional mail.
NOTE: DMAchoice will not stop mail from Colorful Images as it is not an active member of the ANA.
OptOutPrescreen — OptOutPrescreen is the official Consumer Credit Reporting Industry site. It lets you opt out of firm offers of credit and insurance for five years or permanently.
NOTE: OptOutPrescreen will not opt you out of Colorful Images mail. It only covers prescreened credit card and insurance offers.
PaperKarma — For local mailers, coupon packs, charity appeals, and senders DMAchoice does not cover, the PaperKarma app contacts opt-out departments from a photo of the mailer label.

Frequently asked questions
