Designing Automated Mail

You will see in the following section that design layout and paper selection for your printed pieces play an important part in mailing. Please consult the Office of Marketing and Communications early in the planning of any direct mail project.

Designing your mail for barcode reader processing enables the mail to be sorted by faster and more efficient processing methods. The U.S. Postal Service provides postage discounts for all automated mail, and chances are good that your mail will reach its destination sooner if it is prepared correctly to qualify for postal discounts:

Minimum size (to qualify for postcard rate): 3.5" x 5"
Maximum size (to qualify for postcard rate): 4.25" x 6"
Maximum size: 5" x 11.5". Larger card sizes are mailable, but are charged at first-class mail letter rate.
Standard mail must weigh less than 16 ounces.
First-class mail must weigh 13 ounces or less.

Folded Publications

A flat-size piece with a final fold must be designed so that the address is in view when the final folded edge is to the right and any intermediate bound or folded edge is at the bottom.
Unbound tabloids must have two folds. The second fold must be perpendicular to the original fold.

Business Reply Mail (BRM)

For automated processing, your BRM pieces must be rectangular, have straight edges, and be within the specific dimensions. All pieces not meeting the minimum size standards above are not automatable.

Nonstandard Size. A letter-rate BRM that weighs 1 ounce or less is nonstandard and subject to the nonstandard surcharge.

Paper Weight. For BRM envelopes, you must use paper stock with a basis weight of at least 20 pounds. For cards, you should use card stock with a basis weight of at least 75 pounds or greater, with none less than 71.25 pounds.

Legibility. You may use any legible printing process and typeface. Handwriting, typewriting, or hand-stamping may not be used for BRM lettering.

Printed Borders.You may not use printed borders on BRM letters and cards.

Color. Black ink on a white background is recommended.

Using Tabs with Self-Mailers

Self-mailers prepared for automation must be secured (tabbed) to prevent an open edge from jamming high-speed mail processing equipment. Construction of the mail piece plays an important role in determining automation compatibility. Standards for tabbing are based on the basis weight of paper stock used and the location of the folded or bound edge as described in the previous column under “Designing Automated Mail.”
