Can I mail a brochure without an envelope?

Yes. Self-mailer brochures skip the envelope entirely and are a common, cost-effective way to mail. You just need to seal the piece, leave room for the address, and use stock heavy enough to survive postal sorting.

• Sealing: USPS requires wafer seals or tabs on self-mailers so the piece does not spring open and jam automated mail equipment
• Tab placement: follows the fold, the final fold (the closed spine) generally leads through the machines and tabs go on the open edge
• Tab count: simple folds may need one tab, booklet-style folds often need two, so confirm current USPS guidance for your fold and size
• Address panel: reserve a clear area on one side for the mailing address that meets USPS layout and clear-space rules to qualify for standard postage
• Stock: at least 80lb cover to hold up in sorting equipment
• Dimensions: keep the folded size within USPS letter limits to avoid flat-rate pricing
