NEW ADDRESS PLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS for flat sized mail pieces

Another detail in the endless realm of design details...

I'm putting out a miniature fire today.

Recently the post office created new address placement requirements for flat sized mail pieces (i.e magazines and mailers). I don't recommend dealing with these issues when your project is about to be plated but... hey, looks like we're in luck today!

So... to spare you the embarrassment and cost (!) make sure to bookmark this blog or check out the new requirements for flat sized mail pieces -

as well as information on design requirements in general -

If you have further, in depth questions about designing items to be mailed, search and find your very own Mailpiece Design Analyst here: http://pe.usps.com/mpdesign/mpdfr_mda_lookup.asp (pretty cool).

For those of you in San Diego...
