The indicia for mailings should be placed in the upper right hand corner of the mailing panel, in the same location a stamp would go. The cost to set up and activate a permit is $300.00. We offer our permit usage at NO CHARGE as a service to our valued clients.
NOTE: Nonprofits that DO NOT have the USPS APPROVAL STATEMENT on file at our local Post Office will NOT qualify for Nonprofit rates. This document is usually kept in file at the Post Office and the client is given a copy as well.
For all letter mail the space required for automated addressing is a choice of two:
1) a clear space on the mailing panel minimum 2" high by 4" wide in order to drop ink in that area to meet the criteria for bar-coding discounts.
2) 5/8" clear space all across the entire bottom of the card leaving ample space for addressing on the right side.
Please print the permit on all pieces for mailings as there is a surcharge for that service if it is neccessary.
Another type of mailer is the fold over card. this type of mail piece is best designed with the opening on the top of the mailing area in order to place one tab on your mail piece. The USPS requires one tab if the opening is above the address area. If the opening is below the address area two tabs are required per USPS regs, thus a higher cost of services.
