Tips for offsetting the upcoming postage increase.
Downsize mail classification when possible.
When mailing documents weighing up to 3.5 ounces, departments can save
$0.39 per mailing by folding the contents for insertion in a 6" x 9 ½"
envelope.
Discuss postage impact with Graphic Services or Mail Services early on in
the print/mail project planning phase. By engaging with Mail services early
in the planning phase, departments can sometimes offset higher postage rates
with simple yet effective creative design and printing guidance.
