Ensure Postal Discounts By Using Correct Tabs
To qualify for postal discounts offered by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), letter-size self-mailers must be secured by tabs (wafer seals) or glue dots/strips to prevent mailpieces from jamming in the high-speed processing equipment. (Letter-size self-mailers are unenveloped mailpieces, including folded postcards, letters, brochures, and booklets.)
The number and placement of tabs depend upon the design of the self-mailer (e.g., dimensions of the mailpiece, paper weight, location of the fold or bound edge). The tabs cannot interfere with recognition of postage information, rate markings, the barcode, or required address information. More than the required number of tabs can be used.
The best explanation for the number and location of tabs is to view the illustrations seen at right.
