Spread Out Zip Code Permit For Free

Permit imprint is simple and convenient - you save time because you're not affixing postage to each piece. You print the permit imprint when you print the rest of your mailpiece. If you already have a mailpiece printed without the permit imprint, you can use a rubber stamp.

Permit imprint is the most popular and convenient way to pay for postage, especially for high volume mailings. Instead of using precanceled stamps or a postage meter, the mailer prints postage information in the upper right corner of the mailpiece.

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").

There is no standard font required when designing an indicia, however, it cannot be any smaller than 4 pt and you should stay away from fonts with serifs so that it is readable. Also, indicias must be placed in a clear area no smaller than ½? high by ½? wide, in the upper right hand corner of the envelope.

To be eligible for mailing at the price for letters, a piece must be: Rectangular. At least 3-1/2 inches high x 5 inches long x 0.007 inch thick. No more than 6-1/8 inches high x 11-1/2 inches long x 1/4 inch thick.

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.

The Ghost Permit is also known as the Mail Owner Local Permit Number. Typically this can be the case if you are the mail preparer but not the mail owner. You may enter your permit number but then also add the virtual Mail Owner Local Permit Number to be populated in the Mail.
