Postal Information, at Your Fingertips

Whether you're mailing a petit Postcard, a massive Flat, or something in between, you will be best served by ensuring that your mail piece conforms to the standards set forth by the United States Postal Service. By so doing, you will be in line to reap the following benefits:

  1. Discounts: The less the USPS has to handle your mail piece, the more you save!
  2. Deliverability: By leaving enough addressing and barcode space, you can ensure the best chance of deliverability!
  3. Speed of Service: Hand sorting is slower then automated machine sorting, thus the more automation, the faster your mail piece reaches your client!

With all these reasons and more, can you afford to ignore the USPS Specifications? Let us help you design for success! Get started with our online overviews (we cover First Class Postcards, Letters and Standard Postcards, Flats, Business Reply Mail, the various Endorsements you can place on your letters, proper Tabbing, and even the differences in Postal Class!), or call us to discuss specific details, or if you would just prefer to speak with one of our friendly Account Managers.
