Mail Piece Specifications:

1. Thickness
   
2. Height
   
3. Width
   
4. Address Block and Address Block Orientation
   
5. Weight (in ounces)
   

Tips:
To accurately determine mailpiece specifications, use ten mailpieces and then take the average. Height and width of a mailpiece are determined by the orientation of the address block.

Mail piece design is an important factor both in reaching your customer and in budgeting your promotional campaign. Were you aware that the design of your mailpiece can drastically affect the postage rates and deliverability of your mailpiece? The Postal Business Center has mailpiece design analysts who can help you realize lower postage rates while maintaining the marketing pizazz of your promotional material.
