How to Design Permit Imprint Indicia Line 1: Class marking. Line 2: The words "U.S. Postage Paid" Line 3: City and state where permit is held. Line 4: The word "Permit" and your permit number.

The minimum size of the permit imprint is 1/2" square and not less than 6-point type. Use with automation or non-automation Standard Mail (formerly "Bulk Mail").

Instead of using precanceled stamps or a postage meter, the mailer prints postage information in the upper right corner of the mailpiece. This postage block is called an "indicia." Here's a sample of what a permit imprint indicia looks like. The indicia are printed onto each mailpiece.

The photo above shows the four most common types of indicia: Nonprofit, First Class, Presort First Class, and Presort Standard. To ensure your indicia meets official design requirements, consult the USPS Permit Design guidelines.

Guidelines for unique indicia The postage imprint must follow certain explicit rules for size and placement. The indicia must be placed in a clear area that is free from any other text, graphics or markings. The actual size of the indicia must be a minimum of one-half inch high by one-half inch wide.

An indicia is not actual postage. You don't pay anything to print it. You just include it when you have your mail piece printed. You pay the postage when you actually mail the piece at a postal bulk mail unit. You generally must be mailing at least 200 pieces or 50 pounds of mail at one time to use an indicia.

The indicia must be placed in a clear area that is free from any other text, graphics or markings. The actual size of the indicia must be a minimum of one-half inch high by one-half inch wide. It must be placed no more than 1.5 inches below, or to the left of, the upper right hand corner of your postcard.
