New Address Placement Standards for Flats

Published by Alicia Weiler under Mailing Services

On March 29, 2009, all Presorted Standard Flat-sized mail must be addressed on the "top half" of the mailpiece. How do you determine which side is the top?

When using and envelope or polywrapped mailpiece, the top can be either of the short edges. In order to comply, in most cases, the address can be moved to the left or right to fit on the top half of the mailpiece. The address orientation does not need to change.

For newsletters or catalogs, the top is the upper edge when the bound edge or final fold is vertical and on the right side of the mailpiece. Many newsletters or catalogs currently have the mail panel located at the bottom of the mailpiece and can easily be redesigned to be located at the top. It is very important to remember, as you look at the mailpiece, the bound edge must be to the right. It is acceptable for the text of the newsletter to be upside down as long as the address is right-side up on the top side of the mailpiece. Detailed information can be found at http://ribbs.usps.gov.

Is there a way to make my mail peice more durable for mailing and stand out?

Published by Alicia Weiler under Mailing Services

Yes! We can put UV coating on the mail piece. This coating enhances the quality of the printed product by providing protection against friction and fading, making it more durable. UV coating is the most desirable finish on the market today for an ultra high gloss finish that protects and enhances the look of any printed piece. Colors are brighter and the finish will last longer than uncoated pieces.
