Letter and Postcard Mail Size Template

The US Postal Service is very particular as to what qualifies for postcard or letter postage rates. There are also very strict regulations on FIM code use and placement, barcode placement, and OCR characteristics. You can download the handy template below to use when you are designing your mail piece. Just click on the image of the template below (or click here), and a full-scale PDF file will open. You can print the PDF to your laser printer (on 8 1/2 x 14 stock), or simply use it as a reference.

If you have questions about designing your mailing project, or need assistance using this template, please send us an e-mail message.
