Standard Letter-Size Mail must meet the following criteria to receive the postal discount:
Minimum Height - 3-1/2 "
Minimum Length - 5"
Maximum Height - 6-1/8"
Maximum Length - 11-1/2"
Maximum Thickness - 1/4"
Flat Size Mail is any mail piece in which the dimensions exceed the maximum standards above. Your mail may also be considered flat if the dimensions are within the maximum standards above, but is folded and not tabbed. There is an additional charge of 1.5¢ per piece for mail that is considered Flat Size.
In order to receive the full discount it is necessary to include a barcode for postal automation. Therefore when designing your mail piece please keep a clear zone on the lower right corner of the mail piece (5/8" from the bottom and 4-3/4" from the right edge). This area must be kept clear for the printing of the Post Office's identifying barcode.
Our bulk rate postage or indicia must be put in the proper section of the mailing. Please request a black and white print out or electronic image of our stamp. We cannot mail pieces that do not have our stamp marked properly.
If the address will be printed on your mail piece, it must be printed in a white space or with a white background. Dark or colored backgrounds where addressing will be placed is not acceptable addressing format and your mail will be rejected at the post office. If your mailing has a dark background, white labels showing the address is acceptable, however, labeling is not a service we offer.
Payments are required in full prior to the mailing being released to the post office.
