Mail Piece Design Requirements
PROOFING
It is critical that all SELF MAILERS
be reviewed by Central Distribution PRIOR to printing.
Central Distribution can also assist in the planning of
large mailings. Involving Distribution in the planning
stages of large mailings may save you valuable time and
money that may be required to reprint mail pieces. Distribution
can assist to ensure your mailing will meet postal regulations
as well as machine processing specifications.
NOTE:
Samples of permit imprints for First Class Presort, Non-profit
Bulk Mail, and Regular Bulk Mail can be obtained from
Central Distribution. Samples are also printed in the
Editorial Service’s Institutional Identity handbook.
BUSINESS REPLY MAIL (BRM)
Business Reply Mail service enables
mailers to receive First Class mail by paying postage
only on mail that is returned. The mailer guarantees payment
of the appropriate First Class postage plus a handling
charge (assessed by the U.S. Postal Service not Distribution)
per piece. All BRM postage and handling charges are billed
back to departments. For proper postal design and format
for BRM, contact Publication Design and Production for
camera-ready artwork. Your department UMC number must
appear in the address for billing.
