Mailing Guidelines (Bulk & Presorted Mail)

Printing Services should be involved early in any bulk mail project so mail pieces can be prepared to meet postal and graphic standards and qualify for the lowest available mailing rates.

Bulk Mailing Requirements

All standard bulk mailings of 200 or more pieces must be processed through Printing Services. This helps ensure:

  • The mailing list is current
  • Addresses meet postal regulations
  • Pieces are sorted correctly
  • Postage is charged accurately
  • USPS software is used to achieve the lowest eligible postage rate

Presorted Standard Mail Overview

Presorted Standard Mail applies to 200 or more identical pieces mailed at reduced rates to continental U.S. addresses and Puerto Rico. The University maintains a prepaid postage account with the U.S. Post Office, and postage is charged to the appropriate budget.

Presorted Standard Mail Requirements

  • Minimum of 200 identical pieces
  • All pieces must be the same size and weight
  • Advertisements for selling products or services are not allowed with the nonprofit permit
  • The Õ¬Äи£ÀûÉç must appear in the return address
  • Individual pieces cannot exceed 0.25 inch in thickness
  • The correct indicia must appear in the upper-right corner

Addressing

Mailing addresses are printed directly onto each mail piece from a digital file generated by the mailing list database. Preferred formats include:

  • Spreadsheet files
  • Comma-delimited text files (CSV)

Mailing lists may be emailed to [email protected].

Additional postage savings may be available when ZIP barcodes are applied automatically. Folded self-mailers must be tabbed, not stapled or taped, to qualify for the best rates.
