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 size | Processing | Cost impact |
|---|---|---|
| At least 4" x 2.5" | Automatic mail merge | More cost-effective |
| Smaller than 4" x 2.5" | Manual processing | Additional 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.
