Question

What are the space requirements for an address field if I want automatic merging?

Answer

For orders that go through automatic mail merge, the address field needs enough clear space for the system to place addresses without a person handling it. The minimum is 4 inches wide by 2.5 inches high.

Address field sizeProcessingCost impact
At least 4" x 2.5"Automatic mail mergeMore cost-effective
Smaller than 4" x 2.5"Manual processingAdditional processing fee

If you can, design the address area at or above the minimum so the order qualifies for automatic processing. A smaller field still works, but it moves to manual handling and adds a processing fee.
