Question

What should I leave blank on my postcard design for USPS presorted automation mail?

Answer

For USPS Presorted Automation mail, leave specific areas of the postcard clear so the postal indicia and address can be applied during processing. You do not add the indicia art yourself.

AreaSizeLocation
Postal indicia1.25" x 1.25"Top right corner
Address block2.5" x 4"Address area
  • Keep both zones free of background art, logos, and text.
  • The indicia and address are added by the postal service, so leaving the space blank is all that is required on your file.
