Use these US Mail layout guides to help in preparing your direct mail postcard, brochure, newsletter or greeting card design to comply with Postal Service regulations and guidelines.

Mailing pieces require clear space (free of any design elements) to allow for barcoding, addressing and permit imprinting. This ensures both that the mail piece is eligible for your preferred mail service class and that any content in your piece isn’t covered up in the addressing and mailing process.

Sometimes it takes a creative design to accomplish your design goals and still be compliant with the mailing regulations. Give our experts a call if you’d like some ideas or advice.

We can print and mail your marketing materials for you.
See our Mailing Services Guide for service class options, frequently asked questions and lots more information on mailing your marketing materials.
